Tactics and practice game in Bogliasco, morning session on Friday

Marco Giampaolo’s Sampdoria squad were back at the Centro Sportivo Gloriano Mugnaini in Bogliasco on Thursday afternoon to continue their preparations for Sunday’s trip to face Parma.

After a warm-up of technique drills and fitness exercises, the squad focused on tactics before rounding the session off with some practice games. Five youth players joined in with the first-team squad for the session: Lorenzo Di Stefano, Tommaso Farabegoli, Simone Giordano, Marco Somma and Gerard Yepes Laut.

Joachim Andersen trained separately once again, first doing some work in the pool before focusing on strength in the gym and outside.

Samp have a morning session scheduled for Friday.
