The second day of the tour, under the sun with the temperature above twenty degrees, and it's already the eve of the Rossoneri's opener in the Dubai Super Cup. After yesterday's first taste of training, a double session was scheduled today at the Dubai Police Club Stadium.
This morning, after a warm-up in the gym, the team took to the pitch again in a session open to fans from the United Arab Emirates with the official Milan Clubs of the UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Lebanon and Oman. A series of fitness drills preceded the main phase: first a 2 vs 2, passing and scoring drill, with four goalposts set up in a small space and goalkeepers, then attacking and defending the full-sized goal with crosses delivered from the wing. Finally, a possession based drill as well.
In the afternoon, however, after the warm-up, the AC Milan group focused on tactics. There was also time to practice set pieces and penalties, which are expected in the event of a draw in this competition.
