Corinthians kicked off an important week in their season by preparing for the upcoming CONMEBOL Libertadores match against Rosario Central. The team underwent various training sessions, including rule briefings and tactical drills.
In the morning, the players gathered at the Flexform Briefing Room for a presentation on new Brazilian football rules. Following that, they conducted strength workouts in the gym. On the field, after warm-up exercises, the coaching staff applied possession drills involving crosses and finishing. Head coach Fernando Diniz led a ten-versus-ten tactical exercise focused on the match against Rosario Central (ARG). The session allowed for testing different team formations.
After the tactical work, players who had played more than 45 minutes in the Red Bull Bragantino game returned to the training center for recovery sessions. Other players remained on the field for a small-sided practice match.
Corinthians will travel to Rosario (ARG) later that afternoon and train at Newell's Old Boys' training center before their match. The team is set to face Rosario Central at 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 13, at the Gigante de Arroyito Stadium.
