How did the training session go?

Sunday’s session began with a warm-up organized by the fitness coaches, who set up an exercise circuit. Then, under Roger Machado’s command, the squad took part in a tactical organization drill combined with running stimuli, with coordinated high-intensity movements triggered by the coach’s signals.

To wrap up, the coaching staff held an 11-on-11 drill on a reduced-size field, in which Roger instructed the players and tested different options in the team. The Tricolor squad will train again on Monday morning.

São Paulo’s situation

São Paulo are in second place with 16 points, three fewer than Palmeiras, the leaders of the Brasileirão. Against Internacional, they will try to snap a run of two matches without a win in the tournament.
