São Paulo line-up: Dorival gets attacking boost for Boca decider | OneFootball

São Paulo is ready to begin the showdown against Boca Juniors (ARG) in the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals. This Monday (7), at CT da Barra Funda, the squad held its final training session before traveling to Buenos Aires, where it will play the first leg against the Argentinians.

After the warm-up process and a ball-possession drill, the Tricolor players took part in an 11-v-11 match on a reduced-size pitch with the aim of activating their tactical structure.

Next, head coach Dorival Júnior and his assistants led a positional tactical session focused on attacking movements. There was also additional work on set pieces.

Forward Victor Sá, recovered from a traumatic sprain in his right ankle, trained normally with his teammates and is available for the match in Argentina. The expectation is that Calleri will return to the starting lineup for good.

Thus, a likely lineup from Dorival should be Rafael; Domingos Duarte, Arboleda and Sabino; Lucas Ramon, Marcos Antônio, Danielzinho, Artur (Pablo Maia) and Iago; Luciano and Calleri (Gustavo Santana).

After the final adjustments at Barra Funda, the São Paulo delegation began its trip to Buenos Aires on a charter flight operated by Sideral. Tricolor faces Boca Jrs. away from home this Tuesday (8), at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time.

The decisive second leg, which will determine the club that advances to the tournament semifinal, will be played a week later, on the 15th, also at 9:30 p.m., at Morumbi, with tickets on sale.
