Initially, fitness trainer Daniel Gonçalves and EXOS consultant Michael Minthorne set the pace for the warm-up and physical training, which consisted of running with changes in speed at fixed points on the pitch. Next, it was coach Zé Ricardo's turn and his assistant Cleber dos Santos led the ball activity, which focused on quick passing with a maximum of two touches.

The afternoon's training session also marked Ederson's return to the field. Although the striker didn't train with a ball, he ran around the field, accompanied by physiotherapist Mário Peixoto. Paolo Guerrero also trained separately from the group, doing specific exercises on the grass of Field 2 at the George Helal Training Center.

Pre-season will continue this weekend, with athletes returning to activities on Saturday morning (14).
