Part 5/8:

A significant portion of the conversation revolved around the role of youth players from São Paulo's base. Questions were raised about the use of younger players like William Gomes and Patrick by coach Zubeldia. Contrary to some beliefs, Zubeldia is committed to integrating youth into the main squad.

The strategy involves allowing young players to train with the first team while simultaneously getting game time in the under-20 squad. This tactic helps develop their skills and maintain their confidence. The club has instituted a system where two to three youth players train with the professionals every week, and then return to the base to play games. This system is designed to help young talents acclimate to the level of play they will face in professional matches.
