Applause, chants, smoke bombs. It seemed that the championship had already begun. In Bogliasco, however, Sampdoria was “only” having their last training session before leaving for Germany, where they will carry out their summer preparation. However, a cheering crowd of fans still went up to the Poggio to greet and cheer on their favorites.
Double. The Blucerchiati had already met at the “Mugnaini” in the morning to take part in a session characterised by activation in the gym, athletic exercises and Gacon tests on the main pitch. In the afternoon, Andrea Pirlo and his staff closed the last double of this pre-retreat phase with a tactical session. Massimo Coda also took part in both sessions.
Departure. Tomorrow, Sunday, the team will leave in the morning with a charter flight from the “Colombo” airport in Genoa for the summer retreat in Jena, where they will stay until July 30. Below is the list of players called up.
