O Independência deu o pontapé inicial na preparação para a Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior 2027 na tarde desta segunda-feira, 26, no Centro de Treinamento Marinho Monte, em Rio Branco.

Atual campeão acreano sub-20, o Tricolor de Aço apresentou o planejamento ao elenco comandado pelo técnico Kinho Brito visando à principal competição de base do país, que marca o retorno do clube ao torneio após 19 anos. O primeiro encontro serviu para alinhar o cronograma de treinos e apresentar os novos reforços.

“A gente inicia com uma reunião, organizando, mostrando o nosso planejamento para os jogadores. A gente fez uma parceria com o Atlético Assisense, onde eles disponibilizaram até 25 dias no CT deles, com toda a estrutura, e também alguns atletas deles serão inseridos no nosso elenco, que será composto por 30 atletas”, disse o treinador. Segundo ele, o clube também garantiu o empréstimo de um goleiro do Corinthians e de um zagueiro do Iraty.

Apesar do cronograma definido, o Independência corre contra o tempo para viabilizar o transporte da delegação até o Sudeste. A expectativa da diretoria é embarcar no dia 5 de dezembro para a reta final dos treinamentos em Assis (SP), mas falta um sinal do governo ou da prefeitura para garantir o transporte.

“A gente tem essa possibilidade, já com tudo organizado lá. Falta ainda um sinal do governo ou da prefeitura para que a gente possa ter essa garantia do transporte para chegar a São Paulo”, explicou Kinho.

A vaga na Copinha de 2027 coroa o trabalho de base do Independência, que não disputava o torneio desde 2008. O passaporte foi carimbado após o título inédito e invicto do Acreano Sub-20, conquistado com 12 partidas, apenas uma derrota e 11 jogos de invencibilidade.
