In a rigorous training session lasting over 120 minutes, Portuguese coach Luis Castro directed fitness and tactical exercises for the Al-Nassr first football team, as disclosed by exclusive sources. The session captured in a photo yesterday featured Sami Al-Najai, a player for the team, passing the ball to his Portuguese teammate Cristiano Ronaldo during collective training.
Castro commenced his preparations with a team meeting, emphasizing the significance of upcoming matches preceding the break. He stressed the need for focus both on and off the field, emphasizing the importance of healthy nutrition and sufficient sleep. The training regimen included a combination of strength exercises, followed by various tactical drills, concluding with a 35-minute scrimmage.
Furthermore, the training session witnessed the return of Brazilian player Alex Teixeira for the second consecutive day after recovering from an injury sustained during the match against Al-Hilal in the 15th round of the Saudi Pro League. This injury caused him to miss matches against Istiklol Dushanbe in the AFC Cup, Riyadh in the league, and Al-Shabab in the King’s Cup. The Yellow Castle, as Al-Nassr is known, is gearing up to face Al-Ittihad in the 18th round of the Saudi Pro League, scheduled for the coming Friday at the First Park Stadium in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
