The Lusa began a week with a special schedule, holding two training matches on consecutive days as part of the coaching staff's plan to give playing time and competitive rhythm to the entire squad, maintaining a core group and without many changes to the team's structure.

The activity was important for both collective and individual observation of the athletes, allowing for continuity of work and consolidation of the concepts that have been developed on a daily basis, as highlighted by coach Fábio Matias.

“We need to improve our physical condition, making sure the team can sustain the intensity for 90 minutes. It's important that every player gets between 70 and 100 minutes in this final stretch, in these last games – today and tomorrow, and next week we have another doubleheader. This way, we will be able to improve physically and absorb the model and style of play,” he explained.

Portuguesa returns to action on Tuesday morning, when they will play another training match, this time against São José, again at the CT of Parque Ecológico do Tietê, continuing the special schedule for the week.
