Artur trains with São Paulo for first time in Roger Machado drill | OneFootball

Sunday (29) was a training day for the São Paulo squad. In another session focused on next Wednesday’s match (1/4) against Internacional, head coach Roger Machado oversaw a full-squad practice at the Barra Funda training center.

It was forward Artur’s first training session alongside his new teammates. The 28-year-old player, who belongs to Botafogo and agreed to a loan deal with Tricolor until December 31 of this year, had already visited the club’s facilities on Saturday (28), the day he arrived from Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and underwent several physical tests. He took part in every stage of this morning’s session and is officially set to be presented on Monday afternoon (30).

Sunday began with a warm-up led by the fitness coaches, featuring a circuit of exercises. Then, under Roger Machado’s instructions, the team carried out tactical organization work with running drills: at the coach’s signal, the players had to perform coordinated movements at high intensity.

Finally, the coaching staff ran an 11-v-11 game in which Roger Machado gave instructions and tested different players.

São Paulo will return to training on Monday morning (30). The trip to Porto Alegre will take place on Tuesday (31), shortly after the morning training session. The clash against Internacional will be played at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) on Wednesday at Beira-Rio and is valid for the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship.
