São Paulo complete preparations to face Flamengo | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad held its final training session on Saturday morning (25) before traveling to Rio de Janeiro, where they will face Flamengo at 6:30 p.m. this Sunday (26) at the Maracanã, in the first round of the second half of the Brazilian Championship.

The coaching staff began the day by showing a video to the players, who then carried out their pre-training work in the gym and on the pitch. The first activity with the ball, which complemented the warm-up, involved quick circulation and pressing drills in a small space.

Next, Dorival Júnior and his assistants split the squad into two teams for tactical activities. After an 11v11 game on a reduced-size pitch, already observing movements with a focus on the clash with Flamengo, the staff guided positional work and defensive and attacking set-piece drills for both lineups.

The delegation will travel to Rio de Janeiro in the afternoon with two new additions: center-back Sabino, recovered from an injury to the back of his right thigh, and right-back Aurélio Buta, called up for the first time.
