São Paulo wrap up preparations to face Flamengo | OneFootball

On the morning of this Saturday (25), São Paulo’s squad held its final training session before traveling to Rio de Janeiro, where it will face Flamengo at 6:30 p.m. this Sunday (26), at the Maracanã, in the first round of the second half of the Brazilian Championship.

The coaching staff began the day by showing a video to the players, who then carried out pre-training work in the gym and on the field. The first activity with the ball, which complemented the warm-up, featured drills focused on quick circulation and pressing in tight spaces.

Next, Dorival Júnior and his assistants split the players into two teams for tactical activities. After an 11-on-11 match on a reduced-size field, already observing movements with a focus on the clash with Flamengo, the staff directed positional work and defensive and offensive set-piece drills for both lineups.

The delegation will travel to Rio de Janeiro in the afternoon with two new additions: center-back Sabino, recovered from an injury to the back of his right thigh, and right-back Aurélio Buta, called up for the first time.
