Technique and tactics at the Mugnaini, morning session and press conference on Friday

Sampdoria continued their preparations for the visit of AC Milan in the Coppa Italia with another training session in Bogliasco on Thursday morning.

After a long meeting in the video room, the players warmed up before getting stuck into a session based around technique drills and tactics.

Technical director Walter Sabatini was also at the training ground on Thursday.

Edgar Barreto and Bartosz Bereszynski again worked away from the main group as they continued their recovery plans in the gym and outside.

Samp will train again on Friday morning, with Marco Giampaolo set to hold his pre-match press conference at 12:45 CET (live updates on Twitter, round-up to follow on Samp TV).
