Lucas and Arboleda back as Dorival tests São Paulo line-ups | OneFootball

São Paulo began the week of training with a session on the morning of Monday (29) at the Barra Funda Training Center, before Brazil’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Japan in the World Cup, which secured a place in the round of 16.

Tricolor’s work began with mobility exercises to warm up the squad players.

Next, coach Dorival Júnior and his assistants proposed a possession drill and an 11-v-11 game in a reduced space for the players, testing different lineups. Finally, the São Paulo squad did additional technical drills specific to each position. Watch the training highlights in the video below.

One player who appeared at the training center during his delicate recovery stage after surgery was attacking midfielder Lucas, who is still only doing physiotherapy work. Another player recorded by the club after being reintegrated into the group was center back Arboleda. He had also already appeared in photos from the training match against Juventus on Saturday (27). On social media, however, the image of the Ecuadorian was not released to avoid the wrath of the fans, most of whom did not approve of his return.

This Tuesday (30), activities will take place in two sessions at Barra Funda, stepping up preparations for the team’s return to matches next month.
