Farioli prepares a high-intensity FC Porto for the new season | OneFootball

After the initial phase of work at Olival, the training camp at St. George’s Park raised even further the level of demand set by Farioli. The coach wants to use every session to speed up the assimilation of his principles and consolidate a strong identity within the team.

With two sessions a day, training has been carried out at a very intense pace, with special focus on pressing, reactions after losing the ball, and speed of execution. The physical component also plays a central role at this stage, during which the Italian coach is looking to prepare the squad to cope with the intensity he wants to see in matches throughout the season.

The work, however, is not limited to tactical and physical aspects. Daily life during the camp has helped strengthen team spirit and build closer relationships between players of different generations, something seen as essential to forming a competitive, winning team.

In this context, the young players involved in the sessions have responded well. In addition to their technical quality, they have shown the ability to keep up with the pace set by the more experienced players, reacting positively to the workload and showing character. An encouraging sign for Farioli, who wants to maintain a high level of competitiveness and build a group ready to face the demands of a season in which maximum intensity will be indispensable.
