This initial phase will see the commencement of preliminary training sessions under the supervision of the coaching staff, focusing primarily on regaining physical fitness and implementing fundamental tactical aspects following the break. To ensure the players' well-being and assess their health, it has been decided that all team members will undergo comprehensive and thorough medical examinations between July 11th and 14th. This is a necessary step to evaluate each player's physical readiness before entering the intensive training phases.
The external camp: the most important station
