Roger scraps training block as academy duo return at São Paulo | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad trained this Saturday (28) and continued preparations for the clash with Internacional in the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship, set for next Wednesday (4/1) at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Beira-Rio.

Taking advantage of the break in the schedule due to the FIFA international window, coach Roger Machado oversaw a long and intense session, with drills focused on both defensive and attacking movements.

The squad’s day began with a video shown by the coaching staff. Then, after warm-ups and physical exercises led by the fitness staff, the São Paulo coach conducted a tactical session divided into two stages: the first focused on defensive organization, while the second worked on attacking build-up play.

Finally, a finishing drill wrapped up São Paulo’s Saturday of preparation.

After being kept out of Friday’s (27) on-field training due to a hip injury, right-back Maik took part normally in activities with the group, as did forward Ryan Francisco, who is in the process of regaining fitness after recovering from surgery on his left knee.

Forward Paulinho, recovering from a left knee injury, continued his transition process with the fitness staff through individualized work on the pitch.

Due to the workload reached in the morning activities, the group was excused from the training session scheduled for the afternoon and will report back to the Barra Funda training center on Sunday morning (29).
