Zubeldía faces São Paulo again, his only Brazilian stint before Fluminense | OneFootball

The Tricolor coach analyzed the next opponent and mentioned maintaining the style of play; the match takes place on Thursday

The 0-0 draw against Palmeiras on Saturday (23) is already in the past. Coach Luís Zubeldía's focus is now on a special match, a reunion with São Paulo, his former club and the only team he managed in Brazilian football before taking charge of Tricolor das Laranjeiras.

The match, valid for the next round of the Brasileirão, will put the Argentine coach face to face with the squad he led between 2024 and the beginning of 2025. Zubeldía left the São Paulo team after fluctuations in the national championship, being replaced by his compatriot Hernán Crespo.

In a press conference at Allianz Parque, Zubeldía analyzed Thursday's opponent. “It has changed a bit with the substitutions that happen game by game, but the style, more or less, remains the same. It's a way of playing that was sustained and that Crespo carried on,” he assessed.

The Tricolor manager preached caution and rest before defining the strategy for the duel at Maracanã. “For now, it's about going back home, giving the players a day off and then, on Monday, starting to plan for the game,” he concluded.
