With all of the club’s internationals back and now at full speed, the coaching staff has the ability to make all the necessary adjustments for the opening match, such as off-field preparation, analysis, and tactical approach. Friday afternoon (10.09) then, was an opportunity for all of the theory created and designed in notebooks and on laptops to be put into practice.

The training session program included the necessary warm-up exercises, some rondo, and tactical exercises. There was also some work on the team’s passing game with a focus on build-up play, followed by a mini-friendly match to wrap things up.

On the injury front, Omar El Kaddouri underwent treatment, while Ingi Ingason followed his individual program which included work on the pitch in the gym.
