Squad undergoes tactical work with a defensive focus | OneFootball

To complement the tactical work carried out last Wednesday (8), when head coach Dorival Júnior led offensive drills, the squad trained this Thursday (9) with an emphasis on defensive adjustments at the SuperCT.

The morning session began with a video shown by the coaching staff. Then, after activation work in the gym, the players went out onto the pitch and completed a warm-up with mobility, coordination, and speed exercises.

After that, the coaching staff led a drill featuring three-on-two and four-on-three situations.

Then, the São Paulo coach and his staff oversaw an 11-on-11 tactical exercise with a defensive emphasis, focusing on compactness, defensive shifting, pressure on the ball, cover, box marking, and pressing higher up the pitch. There were also defensive set-piece drills.

Center-back Sabino, who is recovering from an injury to the back of his right thigh, completed part of the session with his teammates and then continued his transition work with the fitness staff.

This Friday (10), again in the morning, São Paulo will continue their preparations during this mid-season training period.
