Samp fine-tune Parma tactics. Giampaolo press conference on Saturday

Sampdoria were back at the training ground on Friday morning, just over 48 hours before they host Parma at the Stadio Ferraris.

After warming up, the Blucerchiati were guided through a series of technical and tactical drills, followed by a training match on a small pitch and some set-piece practice.

Bartosz Bereszynski had physiotherapy while Vasco Regini trained with Simone Pavan’s U19 squad in preparation for Saturday’s Primavera match against Palermo, when the centre-back will be given a runout to test his fitness before returning to full training with the senior squad.

Samp will train once again on Saturday morning, after which – around 12:45 CET – Marco Giampaolo will sit down with the media to preview his side’s Serie A Week 16 fixture.
