Fixing the problems: São Paulo open intense week with build-up drills | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad returned on Monday morning (22) and kicked off the week of activities at the Barra Funda training center after the entire group of players had Sunday (21) off.

The day began with a core workout on the pitch, led by the fitness staff. After that, the players did a possession drill in a reduced space, which complemented the warm-up process.

Next, head coach Dorival Júnior and his coaching staff put the Tricolor squad through a buildup-under-pressure training session.

There was also a specific technical training session that split the attackers and defenders: the activity improved crossing, finishing, timing, and first touch.

On Tuesday (23), training sessions are scheduled in two periods with an eye on the return of the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Sudamericana after this break for the 2026 World Cup. It will be an intense week for Tricolor.

Wednesday (24) will again have only one training session, but on Thursday (25) double sessions return at the training center. The group will train through Saturday (27) before taking Sunday (28) off, wrapping up another week of the midseason training period.
