Uphill training, tactics and small-sided games as anti-Inter plan takes shape

Sampdoria were back at the Mugnaini for another training session this afternoon with the days rapidly ticking down to Sunday’s home match against Inter.

After starting with a video session, Walter Zenga and his coaching team put the players through their paces with a series of uphill fitness exercises, followed by tactical drills and some small-sided games to finish.

Federico Bonazzoli trained separately today after returning from a training camp with the Italy U19 team while Nenad Krsticic and Luis Muriel also followed personalised routines on the pitch. Mattia Cassani, Lazaros Christodoulopoulos, Lorenzo De Silvestri and Matías Silvestrec continued with their individual recovery programmes.

The Blucerchiati will meet back tomorrow afternoon for another session behind closed doors.
