Tactics and set-piece practice ahead of AC Milan cup tie

The Blucerchiati trained once again on Friday morning as they fine-tune preparations for their impending Coppa Italia encounter with AC Milan.

After a warm-up in the gym and on the pitch, Marco Giampaolo guided the players through a long series of drills focusing on tactics and set-pieces with their last-16 opponents in mind.

Edgar Barreto and Bartosz Bereszynski were the only two players who didn’t take part as they continued their respective recovery programmes, working in the gym and on the pitch.

The Blucerchiati will be back at the training ground on Saturday morning, just a few hours before the game (a 18:00 CET kick-off), to put the finishing touches on their plans. At the end of the session, the squad list for the match will be confirmed.
