Next, Fernando Diniz led a matchup-based training session focused on defensive transitions. Afterwards, the players moved to Field 1, where they took part in small-sided games. The activity prioritized pressing situations, intensity in regaining possession, and decision-making in tight spaces.

In addition to the on-field movement, Corinthians introduced a new addition to the coaching staff. Fitness coach Marlon Muniz is now part of the club’s Health and Performance Department and will be responsible for the strength training sessions held in the gym at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.

Marlon arrives at Parque São Jorge after a spell with Vasco and strengthens the multidisciplinary staff for the remainder of the season, which includes matches in the Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil, and the Conmebol Libertadores.

The squad’s preparation continues on Tuesday (30). The coaching staff scheduled another day of training in two sessions, continuing the mid-season plan before the resumption of official competitions.
