Pressing, shots and tactical drills: hard work ahead of Napoli

Walter Zenga’s Sampdoria had one training session in the late afternoon at Bogliasco today as preparations continue for the game against Napoli.

Following the head coach’s instructions, the players started off by going through fitness drills working on speed, agility and sharp reflexes.

The Blucerchiati then played small-sided matches concentrating on pressing in confined spaces before they moved onto some tactical work, with particular attention on finishing.

Training was wrapped up with a keenly-fought practice match in a reduced space before the players headed into the changing rooms.

Samp will be back out onto the pitch for training tomorrow morning.
