Corinthians back in training, gearing up for clash with Velo Clube

By Mirella Ramos / Central Editorial Team of Timão

Corinthians has started its training schedule for the continuation of the Paulista Championship. On the morning of this Friday (23rd), the alvinegro squad returned to the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center and took the first steps in preparation for the match against Velo Clube, valid for the fifth round of the State Championship.

After the 1-1 draw in the Alvinegro Classic, held in Santos, the delegation returned to São Paulo's capital during the night and remained focused at the training center. The measure aimed to optimize logistics and ensure better utilization of the activities planned for the following day.

The coaching staff divided the group into two work fronts. The athletes who remained on the field for more than 45 minutes in the match against Santos performed regenerative exercises within the facilities of the training center, focusing on physical recovery. The other players started the day with activation in the gym and then proceeded to the field.

On the field, the group participated in activities focused on ball possession, as well as a confrontation training in a reduced space. To conclude the session, a physical complement was applied, reinforcing the workload of the athletes who did not play for a longer time in the classic.

Corinthians will finalize the preparation for the next round on the morning of this Saturday (24th), again at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center. Timão will take the field on Sunday (25th) at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) to face Velo Clube at the Benito Agnelo Castellano Stadium in Rio Claro, for the Paulista Championship.
