MILAN – The squad got back to work this afternoon at 14.30 Italian time (17.30 local time), for the second of today’s training sessions. The team trained all together on the pitches of the Al Ahli Club in the city after the athletic training this morning.
The only absent team member was Clarence Seedorf who followed a personalised training program in the team hotel’s gym.
Work started with the team doing a warm up divided into groups. The session then continued with some work on maintaining possession of the ball.
Training then went on with some themed practice matches of attack against defense: The first match saw Allegri’s team divided into 4 mini teams for a drill on circulating the ball.
The second match saw the team divided in two which saw the attacking team having to complete 8 passes before shooting and the defending team having to press.
