Training on a public holiday, morning session and press conference Friday

Despite it being a national holiday, Marco Giampaolo’s side continued their preparations for Saturday’s match against Lazio.

The Blucerchiati trained on the upper pitch, focusing predominantly on technical and tactical details. Stanley Amuzie, Carlos Carbonero and Jacopo Sala (both before and after lunch) all trained separately. Emiliano Viviano continued his work on specific parts of the body.

The squad will train next on Friday behind closed doors. The coach will hold a news conference after the workout at approximately 13:00 (live Twitter updates via @sampdoria_en and highlights on Samp TV).
