Intense Training In Vinovo


Juve have turned over a new leaf: the command has passed into the hands of Ciro Ferrara, four years after retiring from the field in another role and with other responsibilities.

On his first day as coach, Ciro Ferrara first spoke to the team in a meeting which lasted 20 minutes in the dressing rooms. Then from words things shifted to action with a particularly intense training session under the keen eyes of Alessio Secco and Jean Claude Blanc.

The hot temperature made the players’ work even harder however they all showed their intention to answer to the new method of work: much running and work with the ball divided by athletic exercises with the use of equipment.

To unwind the team then was granted some time of rest and stretching before a mini-match which did not see the participation of Marchisio, Salihamidzic, Ariaudo, Ekdal and Sissoko. Knezevic had a separate training session while De Ceglie worked in the gym to overcome a blow to the left ankle suffered during the match against Atalanta. On Wednesday the team will have its first of four morning training sessions scheduled for this week.
