São Paulo face Sul-Americana opener and two trips, see agenda | OneFootball

Confident after a big win over Cruzeiro at Morumbis, São Paulo has a busy week ahead. Tricolor will have two away matches, one of them being its Copa Sudamericana debut, one of the club’s goals this season.

After thrashing Cruzeiro 4-1 last Saturday in the 10th round of the Brazilian Championship, Tricolor returned to training on Sunday morning at SuperCT, since there will be very little time until the next match.

On Monday morning, the São Paulo squad will already hold its final training session before its Copa Sudamericana debut. In the afternoon, the delegation is expected to travel to Uruguay on a charter flight.

São Paulo visits Boston River-URU in the first round of the Sudamericana group stage. The match kicks off this Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay.

After returning to the capital of São Paulo, the Tricolor delegation will already begin thinking about its next commitment. São Paulo returns to the pitch next Saturday (11) to face Vitória in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship.

According to São Paulo’s pre-set schedule, the squad will have Wednesday off and will return on Thursday to begin preparations for the match against Vitória. Coach Roger Machado will therefore have two days to make whatever adjustments he deems necessary.

São Paulo visits Vitória in its second match of the week next Saturday (11), starting at 4:30 p.m., at Barradão in Salvador, Bahia.

Roger eases the pressure

Roger Machado eased the pressure on his work thanks to the commanding victory over Cruzeiro. He arrived under suspicion from the fans and still has the task of fully winning them over, but he gave a response by standing by choices that proved to be right, such as the inclusion of Ferreira, who scored a hat-trick.

The coach will now have a week with two matches to try for two away wins and show that he deserves the Tricolor fans’ trust for the rest of the season.

At the post-match press conference after the game against Cruzeiro, Roger Machado even admitted that he may make changes in this week’s matches. The coach cited the short recovery time between one game and the next and wants the entire squad ready for the rest of the season.
