São Paulo played the last game of the pre-season, this Sunday (19), and drew 0-0 with Flamengo, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; on Monday (20), the team faces Botafogo in Ribeirão Preto
With the 0-0 draw against , the preparation for the 2025 season in Florida ended. With several players already back in Brazil, Tricolor opens up space for what is truly worth it. It is a fact that only part of the players are back and the rest of those called up will be a mix of reserves and players who are also in the Copinha.
The dilemma of demanding the result and understanding a game with mismatched pieces will be present. I think it’s silly to be angry about a possible bad result. The breath? Ryan Francisco and Hugo, two great prospects from the tricolor base, will be on the field. And you can be sure that they have an absurd hunger to show that they deserve more and more chances.
The team should also be a reserve, without so many boys, on Thursday against Guarani. But this debut against Botafogo in Ribeirão Preto will be a good first litmus test for the kids and the reserves looking for space.
