UD Almería ramp up intensity in training

Third day of pre-season grind for UD Almería. Unlike last Sunday and Monday, when the players trained in the morning and in the evening, this Tuesday evening there was a single football practice, although it felt as if it were a double session due to the high temperatures. In fact, the practice was really intense in all aspects, like the previous ones. In addition, the sweltering heat made it even harder since the temperature in Almería city reached 34 degrees. The 'feelslike' temperature was around 37 degrees though.

 

Despite this fact, the players showed a positive attitude and this was recognised by new head coach Vicente Moreno, who congratulated them at the end of the session. There was physical fitness work-outs, technical skills improvement and small-sided games on reduced-size pitches and finally, a match played on the whole field. 

 

This Wednesday, there will be a double training session conducted at the training base. The gaffer is still working with the same 25 players from the first day, although  Melero, Léo Baptistão, Šviderský and Appiah continue to exercise on the sidelines. 

 

In addition, the internationals have not yet arrived. At the end of the week, Babić and El Bilal Touré will land in Almería. Ramazani and Samú Costa will be the next ones to be back in the building. 

 

UD Almería Managing Director Mohamed El Assy was present at the training session and he greeted the players and coaching staff members at the end of it.
