Little rest in sight! Marco Silva will push Benfica to the limit | OneFootball

Benfica’s squad returned to training last Thursday, June 25, with their focus already set on the first official fixture of the season, scheduled for July 23, against FC St. Gallen. To speed up preparations, Marco Silva decided to adopt a demanding approach.

According to the newspaper Record, . Marco Silva has been combining ball work, gym sessions and plenty of running, in a pre-season marked by attention to detail.

The physical aspect is particularly important in this early stage of preparations, when the squad is still far from being finalized. The coaching staff want to make the most of the first few weeks to raise the group’s physical levels and speed up the assimilation of the new coach’s ideas.

As part of a plan intended to be gradual, double training sessions will begin soon, allowing the Eagles to divide their work between physical conditioning, tactical drills and exercises with the ball. After several seasons marked by different methodologies and coaching staffs, Marco Silva is now trying to convey his ideas for the new season in the best possible way.

It is worth remembering that the former Fulham coach will still have to wait for the internationals currently playing in the World Cup. Amar Dedic (Bosnia), Tomás Araújo (Portugal), Fredrik Aursnes, Andreas Schjelderup (Norway), Richard Ríos (Colombia) and Dodi Lukebakio (Belgium) will play in the next stage of the World Cup and still do not have a return date to Benfica Campus.
