Strength, tactics and technique for the Blucerchiati ahead of Sassuolo trip

Marco Giampaolo’s Sampdoria squad reported to a rainy Bogliasco on Wednesday to continue their preparations for Sunday’s trip to Sassuolo.

After working on strength in the gym, the players headed outside for technique drills, tactical exercises and a practice game. Primavera youngsters Ibourahima Balde, Titas Krapikas, Ognjen Stijepovic, Andrea Tessiore and Michal Tomi joined in for the session, while Duvan Zapata was fit to participate in part.

Ricky Alvarez, Nicola Murru and Fabio Quagliarella trained separately outside, while Gianluca Caprari received physiotherapy and did some targeted strength work in the gym.

Samp will be back on the training pitch on Thursday morning.
