He did not play in 14 games. Coach Dorival Júnior is in a dilemma for the match against Tolima. This is because Tricolor guarantees classification as leader of Group D with a victory over its rival. However, on the other hand, wear and tear could harm the classic against Palmeiras, at 4pm (Brasília time) on Sunday (11), at Morumbi, for the Brazilian Championship. After the defeat to Grêmi last weekend, the recovery of their rivals becomes crucial to prevent the climate of optimism from turning into a crisis. That is why all planning is essential for the decisions that Dorival will make in the next games. Holder or reserves? Or a 'mixed bag'? Can Porto Alegre's (RS) three-back scheme be used again, even as a form of improvement against a weaker opponent, like Tolima? Questions and more questions to which the coach didn't want to give any clues to predict the answers. - We should have a strong team next weekend (against Palmeiras), but we should have a very well prepared team for midweek, which will be a decisive game, which could give us a place and the possibility of moving on to the stages most important events in the Copa Sudamericana. The game will be decisive for us. You can be sure that we will play a great game again in front of our fans and we will seek the best result - said Dorival after the defeat to Grêmi. In the match this Wednesday (7), at CT da Barra Funda, after the video in the hall, the players went to the field where they warmed up with physical preparation supervision. Afterwards, coach Dorival Júnior and his assistants led three different activities. The first, on the technical side, aimed to improve the exchange of passes, crosses and shots towards the goal. The second, tactical, was focused on the team's movement and positioning. And at the end there was training on offensive and defensive dead balls. The likely São Paulo to face Tolima comes with Rafael; Rafinha (Nathan), Arboleda (Diego Costa), Beraldo and Caio; Pablo Maia, Gabriel Neves and Nestor; Alisson (Wellington Rato), Luciano (Marcos Paulo) and Calleri. + All Brasileirão games can be found on Prime Video.
