Corinthians continued its preparations for the second half of the season this Saturday (27), wrapping up the third day of interseason training at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. Under the command of head coach Fernando Diniz, the squad trained in two sessions, focusing on physical conditioning and tactical aspects.

The morning activities began in the gym, where the players took part in a strength workout. Afterwards, the group went out onto the pitch for a warm-up featuring passing and heading drills.

After that, the coaching staff ran a possession drill and a specific exercise focused on traction and finishing. In the activity, the players worked on strength and explosiveness by being pulled by a teammate using an elastic band before finishing the move with crosses toward goal.

The training session ended with an attack-versus-defense exercise aimed at creating offensive plays and applying immediate pressure after losing possession of the ball. During the activity, Fernando Diniz took the opportunity to guide the team through different game situations and fine-tune tactical aspects.

In the afternoon, the players returned to the gym for a muscle-strengthening workout. Timão’s schedule includes another training session on the morning of this Sunday (28), once again at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.

In addition to competing in the Brazilian Série A Championship, Corinthians is preparing for a decisive run of fixtures in the second half of the season, including the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil and the Copa Libertadores.
