The Al-Sadd first team coaching staff, led by Xavi Hernandez, intensified its preparations for the upcoming QNB Stars League Round 6 match against Al Gharafa, which will be played next Sunday, the 17th of October, at Thani Bin Jassim Stadium.
Tuesday’s training session was held in the absence of the team’s international players, who are currently with the senior and the u-23 Qatar national teams, in addition to the trio of Baghdad Bounedjah, Andre Ayew, and Jung Woo-young.
Xavi focused on stepping the physical exercises, along skill drills and tactical training with the ball. Al-Sadd’s Spanish midfielder Santi Cazorla participated prominently in the session, after his recent return from injury.
