Having touched down in Saudi Arabia ahead of the Supercoppa Italiana final against Inter, which will take place on Wednesday 18 January, the Rossoneri took to the pitch at the Al Hilal Saudi Club Stadium to begin their preparations.
REPORT
After arriving in Riyadh on Sunday morning, Coach Pioli’s lads, having rested and eaten at their hotel, headed to the training pitch by bus. Those who were involved in yesterday’s match in Lecce did recovery work. Meanwhile, the rest of the group, after activating their muscles with some technical and athletic exercises, performed a series of possession drills.
It was then time to focus on technique; this involved trying to score in mini-goals. After being divided into different groups, the Rossoneri completed a few sprints and once again turned their attentions to ball possession. There was then more technical work as the team moved on to passing and shooting, after which rondos finished things off. Before and after the session, the players met and spoke to many fans and children.
MONDAY 16 JANUARY
The Rossoneri will train in the afternoon tomorrow.
Tickets are available for AC Milan v Sassuolo and AC Milan v Tottenham: see you at San Siro!
