After a day off, Ceará’s training week, in which the black-and-white squad is focused on preparing for the clash against Avaí, began last Tuesday, the 2nd, and continued this morning. While Alison Henry oversees the tactical training sessions, Roberto Farias, the fitness coach who has been part of Vozão’s permanent coaching staff since 2019, is responsible for leading the squad’s physical training. He spoke with cearasc.com about the 10-day stretch without official matches ahead for the team and how that could affect the meeting with Avaí, scheduled for Wednesday, the 10th.

When mentioning the differences during a longer period between matches, Roberto recalled that the first months of the season were packed with games, which directly affects the work done during the week. In addition, the black-and-white fitness coach pointed out what changes in the day-to-day training process.

“We’re coming off practically four months of ‘one game right after another,’ playing two or three games a week, which sometimes prevents us from doing some of the work we can do when we have windows like this between matches, especially in terms of strength training. In a week with more than one game, we do strength maintenance work, and in full weeks, we’re able to do complete strength sessions,” he said.

Focused on the Brazilian Championship until the end of the year, Ceará will have more free weeks for training ahead, a process that allows for work methods aimed at improving the squad’s physical development.

“With the changes to the schedule, we see a chance to train more, get the athletes in better condition, physically stronger, and we’re going to make the most of this run of more spaced-out matches to improve for the rest of the season,” he concluded.
