Tactics take centre stage on Friday. Saturday session the last before Ponte di Legno

The Blucerchiati gathered in Bogliasco for a healthy dose of tactical work on Friday, with next week’s training camp in Ponte di Legno now looming large on the horizon.

In the morning Marco Giampaolo had the players alternate between fitness and tactical drills, while in the afternoon there were more tactics on the cards before the focus turned to possession work, finishing and set-piece practice.

The squad will train again on Saturday morning then enjoy a day and a half’s rest before setting off for their training camp in Val Camonica on Monday.
