Defender trains as Corinthians prepare to face Red Bull Bragantino

Corinthians returned to training on the morning of this Monday (12), at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, and began preparations for the match against Red Bull Bragantino, for the second round of the first phase of the Campeonato Paulista. The match is scheduled for next Thursday (15), at 7:30 p.m., at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in Bragança Paulista, in the interior of São Paulo.

After debuting with a win over Ponte Preta last Sunday (11), at Neo Química Arena, the squad was divided according to minutes played on the field. The athletes who played more than 45 minutes performed regenerative activities inside the training center. The other players went through physical activation in the gym and then warmed up on Field 1.

Next, coach Dorival Júnior led a training session focused on ball possession and pressing in tight spaces, dividing the group into sectors. Afterwards, the coach organized drills with numerical superiority, with two-on-one and three-on-two exercises. The session ended with a scrimmage on a reduced field.

The main novelty of the return to training was the presence of defender Gabriel Paulista, who participated in the activities at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. The player joined Timão after leaving Besiktas, from Turkey, and signed a contract valid until the end of 2027.

Corinthians’ preparations will continue on the morning of this Tuesday (13), again at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, when the squad will carry on with their work aiming at the match against the team from Bragança Paulista.
