Our team has entered the final week of its training camp in Austria. This Wednesday’s friendly match will mark the end of the main phase of preparation, after which the team will shift focus to the upcoming European match on July 24.
Today’s training schedule included a morning session on the pitch and an afternoon session in the gym.
The morning session was long in duration. After warming up, the players worked on passing drills, followed by extensive tactical training on a half-pitch setup. The focus was on build-up and transition. This was followed by a tactical game, and then an exercise with a 3 vs 2 setup. The morning session concluded with work on set pieces.
In the afternoon, training took place in the gym, so the rain that started at midday did not impact the training plan. Players performed upper-body strength training exercises.
Today marked the 18th day of the training camp in Austria. Tomorrow (Tuesday), the players will hold their final training session, as the last friendly is scheduled for Wednesday. The team will return to Cyprus on Thursday.
