Al-Sadd head coach Xavi Hernandez intensified the training programme for the first team, at their ongoing preseason camp in Olot, Spain.

The team continued to train over two sessions on Thursday, with the morning session featuring physical conditioning and endurance training, in addition to some light exercises with the ball.

In the evening, the head coach had the team work on certain tactical plays. The players competed against each other in a practice game during which there was a focus on quick two-touch play and pressing.

Meanwhile, Qatar national team coach Feliz Sanchez visited the Al-Sadd training session on Thursday to follow up with the Qatari international players in the squad, ahead of the next international break.

Sanchez was welcomed to the camp by the team management and coaching staff, amidst a great reception by all the players.
