Stepping things up in Shanghai

Juventus raised the intensity of their Italian Super Cup preparations during this evening’s training session in China.

With just four days remaining until the reigning champions of Italy meet Lazio at the Shanghai Stadium, Massimiliano Allegri put his men through a mixed workout which began shortly after 19.00 local time, an ideal hour given the humid conditions.

The Tuscan tactician took centre stage during a session that began with interval training and ended with a focus on tactics, guiding his men through various movements to be deployed once they cross the white line this weekend.

Tomorrow morning will see the Bianconeri return to their training base for the first of two Wednesday workouts.
