Samp v Juve, two days and counting: tactics and training games on Friday

Sampdoria were back at the training ground on Friday morning with the visit of champions Juventus to Marassi now just two days away.

Working with a full complement of players on the top pitch at the Centro Sportivo Mugnaini, Marco Giampaolo guided the squad through a series of technical and tactical drills, followed by some training games.

The Blucerchiati will train again on Saturday morning before Giampaolo sits down with the media at 13:00 CET to discuss Sunday’s big match (15:00 CET kick-off).

As usual, we’ll be providing live Twitter updates from the press room, with highlights of the coach’s news conference to follow on sampdoria.it and YouTube.
