Cup derby build-up: speed training and tactics at the Mugnaini

Sampdoria had their final session of the Coppa Italia derby clash against Genoa at the Centro Sportivo Gloriano Mugnaini in Bogliasco on Wednesday.

After a meeting in the video room and a warm-up, Claudio Ranieri and his coaching team led a session centred around fitness drills with a focus on speed, followed by a tactical match.

Omar Colley didn’t train after coming down with gastritis. Fabio Quagliarella spent the initial part of the session training with the group, before breaking off for an individual fitness session. Keita Balde continued working on his recovery plan.

The train will meet up at the hotel tomorrow morning ahead of the game, which kicks off at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris at 17:00 CET.
