Corinthians run tactical drill as mid-season programme continues | OneFootball

Corinthians stepped up preparations on Thursday morning at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, with Fernando Diniz leading a tactical-focused session ahead of the second half of the year.

They face Cascavel in a friendly on Sunday, 12 July. Centre-back Gustavo Henrique is unlikely to feature due to hip flexor pain, while, according to ge.globo, Zakaria Labyad felt discomfort and is a doubt.

The morning began in the gym with strength work. Out on the grass, players warmed up then worked on attack-versus-defence scenarios, including contests at the edge of the area and crosses for aerial situations.

Diniz then oversaw a tactical exercise centred on defensive behaviours, guiding the squad through different game scenarios as he continues to embed his ideas. The group will train again on Friday morning at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.

After the friendly, Corinthians return to Campeonato Brasileiro duties with three matches, against Remo on 23 July, Bahia on 26, and Athletico on 30.
