Corinthians step up preparations with tactical session for busy run | OneFootball

Corinthians continued preparing for the return of competitions on the morning of Thursday (16) at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. Under the guidance of head coach Fernando Diniz, the black-and-white squad completed another day of training during the mid-season break, focusing activities on tactical adjustments ahead of the marathon of matches to come.

This was the 19th day of work since the start of the break in the calendar. Timão is preparing for the resumption of the Brazilian Championship, in addition to commitments in the Copa do Brasil and the Conmebol Libertadores, which will fill the team’s schedule between July and August.

The day’s schedule began with a video meeting in the briefing room, where the coaching staff presented tactical instructions to the squad. After that, the players went through muscle-strengthening activities in the gym and completed their warm-up on the pitch.

On the field, the players first took part in a possession drill. Then, Fernando Diniz led a tactical training session in a reduced space, with two teams of ten players, prioritizing offensive and defensive behaviors. During the activity, the coach also took the opportunity to test different formations and alternatives for the rest of the season.

Corinthians’ next official match will be on Thursday (23) at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), when they host Remo at Neo Química Arena in the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship.

After that, Timão will face Bahia on July 26 and Athletico on the 30th, also in the Brasileirão.

The schedule remains intense in August, a month in which Corinthians will divide their attention between the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, and the Conmebol Libertadores.

With the decisive stretch of the season approaching, the coaching staff is using the mid-season break to refine the team’s playing model and prepare the squad for the run of competitions that will define the club’s objectives in 2026.
