São Paulo's 2-0 victory over Internacional could represent another important step in Dorival Júnior's work for the remainder of the season. This is because the team showed almost total control of the game, and showed more consistency compared to previous games in the national tournament – against América-MG and Coritiba.

If Dorival tried to reproduce the '4-4-2 diamond' in his debut against Coelho, against Colorado the tricolor commander sent the 4-2-3-1 onto the field, the most common formation throughout his career, alongside Gabriel Neves, Pablo Maia and Rodrigo Nestor in midfield. + UPDATES: Pablo Maia scores a great goal and São Paulo has a great collective performance in the victory over Internacional in the Brasileirão + See Brazilian Championship table In the offensive moment, the Uruguayan is the first midfielder, responsible for starting the plays, while Pablo Maia provided support in extraction. The novelty is that Rodrigo Nestor goes further forward, as a midfielder. The construction of São Paulo will have better quality and, above all, security, because Gabriel and Pablo give more guarantees that they will not be exposed or disarmed, compared to Nestor. But, without a doubt, Tricolor's biggest asset in the match is the attitude of the midfielders when defending. With difficulties in holding the ball for long periods – the team had 43% possession – the players formed a 4-1-4-1 formation with Gabriel behind Maia and Nestor, who were very aggressive in marking.

Numbers from the 'Sofascore' platform help to show the trio's effectiveness in recovering the ball: the trio is responsible for 20% of cuts (six for three, out of a total of 30) and almost 50% of the tackles (nine for three, out of a total of 19) of the entire team. Individually, Pablo Maia finished third in the athlete with the most cuts (4), behind only the pair of defenders, and the one with the most tackles (4). Now, this combative midfield, which makes the team safer, is the great merit of Dorival's work, which he said at the press conference: in terms of the security of victories, he is looking for a São Paulo that is more like him. He wants the team to have walls and infiltrations to surround the enemy. Seeing how the team manages to assimilate these ideas, what the next steps should be in the evolution of the work.
