Brazil: infrastructure problems at São Paulo training centre

Dorival Júnior criticized the conditions at the Barra Funda training centre in São Paulo following the local victory. Of three available pitches, only one allows complete sessions, the other two being degraded or partially unusable. Intensive use of the main pitch, renovated in May, accelerates its wear despite recommendations for moderation. The Brazilian coach fears this overuse may cause injuries to his players.
