FIRST DOUBLE SESSION OF THE WEEK AT MILANELLO
The Red and Blacks underwent a double training session this Monday. Assistant coach Luigi Riccio led the morning session, whereas Rino Gattuso, who had a meeting with different coaches and referees from the Lega Serie A, could only be at Milanello in the afternoon.
MORNING TESTS
The lads initially worked in the gym on muscular awakening exercises before being split into groups to undergo a series of fitness tests focused on aerobic drills.
BALL TIME IN THE AFTERNOON
After lunch, the team returned to the training ground just before 3.00 PM. Meanwhile, coach Gattuso had come back to Milanello to lead the second session of the day. The boys started in the gym once again to warm up and then stepped out onto the pitch to focus on technique. Divided into groups, the Red and Blacks worked on passing combined with athletic exercises and then played a high-intensity practice match with small sized goals. Lastly, still in two teams, the boys practised ball possession using the full pitch.
TUESDAY 16TH JANUARY
A single session is scheduled for Tuesday. Meeting point: dressing room at 11.30 AM.
