No signings yet, São Paulo draw in Bragantino friendly, Arboleda back | OneFootball

São Paulo’s preparation for the next stretch of the season included a training match against Bragantino this Saturday (4), in Atibaia, at the inland São Paulo club’s Development and Performance Center.

As was the case in last week’s session against Juventus-SP at CT da Barra Funda, the activity was divided into two 45-minute halves and allowed coach Dorival Júnior to make different assessments without separating starters from reserves. The match ended in a 0-0 draw.

Recently signed, forward Victor Sá remained in the state capital, where he worked on his fitness before being fully integrated into the group. Lucas and Sabino, who are recovering physically, were also unavailable.

Meanwhile, youngsters Nicolas, Pedro Ferreira and Lucca played in the match against XV de Piracicaba this Saturday (4), at Bruno José Daniel Stadium, in Santo André (SP), in the fifth round of the Paulista U-20 Championship.

The warm-up match in Atibaia featured some returns, such as reinstated defender Arboleda. Tricolor used different lineups in the two halves:

Coronel; Maik, Arboleda, Isac and Wendell; Hugo and Marcos Antonio; Artur, Luciano, Cauly and Calleri.

Rafael; Lucas Ramon, Arboleda, Osorio and Enzo Díaz; Pablo Maia and Danielzinho; Tete, André Silva, Ferreirinha and Tapia were the two teams tested by Dorival Jr. in the scoreless draw with Braga.

Now the squad will have Sunday (5) off, and next Monday (6), Tricolor will resume its preparations at CT da Barra Funda with an eye on its second-half commitments after this break for the World Cup.

São Paulo’s first match when the schedule resumes will be against Athletico Paranaense on July 22 (Wednesday), at 9:30 p.m., in the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship, with the venue still to be defined, since Morumbi will be used for concerts.
