Intense double workout in Bogliasco, afternoon session on Wednesday

A blustery morning greeted Marco Giampaolo and his Blucerchiati team as they arrived at the Centro Sportivo Gloriano Mugnaini for a double training session on Tuesday.

In the morning session, the squad focused on fitness before working on defensive tactics. Emiliano Viviano was missing from the training pitch on account of his being in Milan with sporting director Carlo Osti and assistant coach Francesco Conti for a league meeting of clubs, coaches and match officials.

After lunch – with Viviano back in the fold – the Blucerchiati switched the focus to attacking combinations, with time for a few practice games and high-intensity fitness drills before the end of the session.

Edgar Barreto trained alongside his team-mates for the morning session, before having a personalised workout in the gym after lunch. Carlos Carbonero and Daniel Pavlovic continued to work on their recovery plans.

The squad will be back in Bogliasco tomorrow afternoon for the last open training session of the week before the Pescara game.
