Al-Sadd continues preparations; Ferreira increases training load
30 Nov 2015
​Al-Sadd football team players continued their training for the second straight day under the supervision of Jesualdo Ferreira, who signed on as the head coach until the end of the 2015/16 season.
All the players of the team took part in the session after the return of the reserve team players who played in the game against Al-Rayyan in the QatarGas League.
The coaching staff were also present, including the 3 new Portuguese members: team coach Nuno Miguel, performance analyst Pedro Antonio and fitness trainer Jose Benito, in addition to goalkeeper coach Nando Scarpello and the technical analyst Ibrahim Boughanemi.
H.E. Nasser Mubarak al-Ali, club vice president, attended the session for the second consecutive day alongside Head of Football Mohammed Ghanem Al-Ali, sporting director Mohammed Gholam Al-Baloushi, media manager Ahmed Al-Ansari and first team officer Mohammed Saeed.
Head coach Ferreira was keen to focus on the physical training of the players. He divided the players into two groups and made them undergo light training with the ball, whereas the reserve team players only had running exercises around the pitch without participating in the group training, in order to avoid fatigue. The first team is preparing for the upcoming Qatar Stars League Round 11 match against Al-Sailiya, which will kick off at 4 PM on Friday, the 4th of December at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium.​
