São Paulo step up final preparations for the Majestoso | OneFootball

This Monday, the São Paulo squad returned to training and entered the final stretch of preparation for the derby against Corinthians, scheduled for this Thursday. Pablo Maia trained for the second consecutive time at SuperCT after recovering from a tendon injury in his foot. For the session, Hernán Crespo also included youth players who played in the final of the Paulista Under-20 Championship last Sunday.

How the training went

The Tricolor squad started the day with a warm-up, including strength exercises in the gym and mobility drills on the pitch, supervised by the fitness staff.

Next, coach Hernán Crespo led a technical training session and two tactical activities, focusing on offensive actions, where situations of build-up, transition, and finishing were repeatedly practiced.

Tricolor will have only two more days of preparation before the Majestoso, at Neo Química Arena.

From Cotia

After the defeat to Santos in the final of the Paulista Under-20 Championship this Sunday, left-back Nicolas, midfielder Pedro Ferreira, and forwards Lucca and Paulinho completed the training session at SuperCT.

Reinforcement for the derby

Amid a busy period in São Paulo's medical department, Pablo Maia was a bright spot at SuperCT. The midfielder had already trained without restrictions on Sunday and once again participated fully in activities this Monday. Thus, the midfielder should be an important reinforcement to face Corinthians.
