Corinthians kicked off a very important week. On the morning of this Monday (20), at Neo Química Arena, Timão returned to training ahead of the Brasileirão’s return. Alvinegro face Remo on Thursday (23), at the House of the People.

Timão’s morning began with power and isometric work in the warm-up area of the locker room at Neo Química Arena. On the pitch, the coaching staff ran a passing drill and a possession exercise as a warm-up. After that, the squad carried out an attack-versus-defense activity with an offensive numerical advantage.

Head coach Fernando Diniz led a collective tactical exercise and took the opportunity to instruct the team in various game situations. Finally, a finishing drill was carried out.

This was Corinthians’ 22nd day of work during the mid-season break. During this period, the squad underwent cardiology tests, ophthalmology and ENT evaluations, blood tests, and a series of physical, technical, and tactical exercises.

After this morning’s training session, head coach Fernando Diniz assessed how the squad is shaping up for the return of the Brasileirão.

“We trained a lot after the vacation. It was a very heavy training load. Now we’re reducing the load a bit so we can restart well in the Brasileirão. We trained here at the Arena, and it was good to come because the pitch has changed. We came so the players could adapt a little for a good return against Remo,” said Fernando Diniz, who also shared some of the squad’s feelings ahead of the return to competition.

“Everyone is focused. In a way, a little anxious to start again, reconnect with the fans, and get back to the games and the adrenaline. The team needs to get back to playing. I really miss seeing the Arena full for a match,” said the coach.

The Corinthians squad return to training on the morning of Tuesday (21), at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. Timão take the field in the Brasileirão on Thursday (23) against Remo. The match will be played at Neo Química Arena at 7:30 p.m.
