Training starts in the gym and ends with tactical work
Thursday’s schedule began indoors at the training center. The players did strength exercises in the gym before heading out to the pitch.
On the field, the coaching staff prepared a warm-up activity that brought together different fundamentals. The squad worked on possession, one-on-one situations, and finishing.
After that, Fernando Diniz took charge of a tactical exercise held in a reduced space. The activity included game situations and was part of the team’s adjustments for the clash against Internacional.
The period without matches has been used by the coach to work with the squad ahead of the rest of the Brasileirão. Since the start of the break in the schedule, Corinthians has already completed six training sessions.
Timão will still have more sessions before the trip
Preparation will continue this Friday (2). The squad has another training session scheduled for the morning, again at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.
Corinthians will have until next week to wrap up preparations before traveling to Porto Alegre. The team faces Internacional on Wednesday (7), at 7:30 p.m., at Beira-Rio, for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship.
