The red-and-black squad held another training session on Thursday (10) to prepare for the match against América-MG in the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship. Zé Ricardo led a tactical training session focused on building plays with the players who make up the team's defensive sector. Meanwhile, on the other side of the pitch, other players did collective training on a reduced field. Finally, it was time for the finishing practice.

The coach also placed a lot of pressure on the execution of plays, but Zé Ricardo's main instructions to the group were regarding positioning. During some team testing, the importance of repositioning, filling gaps, and covering players on the wings in case of loss of possession in the attacking half were emphasized.

To conclude the day's activities, tactical finishing drills were held. The activity included defensive underdog drills, with goalkeepers rotating in front of the goal. On the opposite side of the pitch, midfielder Diego practiced direct free kicks until the end of the training session.

The group continues preparing for the match against the Minas Gerais team, which will be played next Wednesday (16). The match will take place in Minas Gerais, at the Independência Stadium, with the ball rolling from 21:45 pm.
