At work in view of Udine. Five goals by Marchisio in mini-match
With the first Europa League match having been archives, Juventus shifted back into championship mode and this morning began to prepare for the match against Udinese on Sunday at the “Friuli”. The players who were on the field yesterday evening against Lech Poznan had an unwinding session, first in the gym and then on the field. The rest of the team had an intense session who after an athletic part took part in a series of technique exercises: first on ball control and passing and then crosses from the flank and shots on goal.
The session came to an end with a 5-a-side mini-match on a reduced field. From one side, sporting green bibs were Costantino, Bonucci, Grosso, Aquilani and Quagliarella while on the other side wearing white were Storari, Rinaudo, Salihamidzic, Marchisio and Amauri. The match was a lively one with Marchisio the absolute protagonist scoring 5 goals and with Quagliarella and Amauri also showing their worth with a hat-trick each. Jorge Martinez worked separately while working with the ball as part of his recovery programme.
