Friday

The morning session was all done at the Escola training fields and it was intense. Oscar really worked us hard today. We bagan with the Rondo session and then moved to juggling. After that we played a 4v4 keep away game with our hands where the first to 10 received a point. After that we bagan the tactical portion of the session and focused on the defenders and midfielders positioning. We then progressed to a 3v3 attacking session for the fowards w/ neutrals on each side. The ball had to be played from a nuetral player to be scored. We finally fincished up with another attacking drill where the 3 mids played the ball in a triangle and served it to the 3 forwards who attacked 3 defenders. Oscar also showed us one final drill for 1v1 shooting/defending which was very cool and intense.

We watched the 15 year olds play at Ciudad Deportivo today after our morning training session.

Later that evening we went w/ Mazinho and Cicinho to the Barcelona Beach Club and had a Brazilian feast. It was great. Cicinho told us stories of how Ronaldinho and Deco used to hang out there and party until 6 in the morning. On the way back home Greg, Josh and I help Oscar w/ English lessons.
