Part 4/7:
The uncertainty surrounding São Paulo’s ability to cope with the rigors of a busy schedule is palpably felt. The upcoming season features an extensive calendar, with 38 matches in the Brasileirão, alongside fixtures in the Libertadores and other competitions. The team is expected to navigate a packed schedule that could test their physical limits.
While there are promising players like Oscar and Enzo Dias, new signings must adapt quickly to fill the void left by those who departed. A significant concern is whether São Paulo can manage injuries and fatigue across such a demanding campaign. Analysts express doubt about the club’s ability to maintain performance levels, particularly given the financial constraints and the limited options available on the bench.
