Roger Machado leads tactical drills, eyeing clash with Internacional | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad trained this Saturday (28) and continued preparations for the clash with Internacional in the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship, set for next Wednesday (01) at 7:30 p.m. at Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre.

Taking advantage of the break in the schedule due to the FIFA international window, coach Roger Machado led a long and intense session, with drills focused on both defensive and attacking movement.

The squad’s day began with a video shown by the coaching staff. Then, after the warm-up and physical exercises supervised by the fitness staff, the São Paulo coach led a tactical session divided into two stages: the first focused on defensive organization, while the second worked on attacking build-up play.

Finally, a finishing drill wrapped up São Paulo’s Saturday preparations.

After being kept out of Friday’s (27) on-field training due to a hip injury, right-back Maik took part normally in the group activities, as did forward Ryan, who is in the process of regaining match fitness after recovering from surgery on his left knee.

Forward Paulinho, recovering from a left knee injury, continued his transition work with the fitness staff through individualized drills on the pitch.

Due to the workload reached during the morning session, the group was excused from the training originally scheduled for the afternoon and will report back to SuperCT on Sunday morning (29).
