RISCONE DI BRUNICO The Nerazzurri were welcomed by clouds in the sky and a moderate climate this morning as they kicked off their latest training session in Val Pusteria.
The lads geared up for the session proper with some aerobic and stretching exercises before getting stuck into a high-intensity workout.
It began with a bleep test, which turned into a competition to see who could last the longest, with Yuto Nagatomo and Geoffrey Kondogbia proving themselves a cut above the rest in the fitness stakes.
Afterwards, Roberto Mancini drilled his troops on tactics and movement with a particular focus on defensive work.
The morning programme was then rounded off with some jogging in groups.
