Al-Sadd players train in the forests of Kaprun

The Al-Sadd football first team continued its training in Kaprun on Monday with morning and evening sessions. This is the third day of the 2016/17 preseason camp in the Austrian city.

Head coach Jesualdo Ferreira used the morning session to focus on the fitness of the players and preferred to hold the session in one of the forests near the hotel in Kaprun.

The morning session lasted for an hour and a half: it included long distance running to increase the endurance of the players, in addition to the focus on the vital functions of the body to help the players to endure the physical exercises and reach full readiness.

The evening session on Monday varied between the physical and technical aspects with team fitness coach Pedro working on preparing the players for the tactical exercises. Ferreira used the second half of the evening session to divide the team into two groups and make them undergo some technical drills.

At the end of the session, Ferreira held a practice match between the players, during which the focus was on quick play and on taking the ball to the other half.
