Continuing their normal training schedule, Union took to fields at Power Training Complex on Friday afternoon to continue to prep for Sunday’s match against New York Red Bulls.
Notes:
- Following a brief film session in Power Training Complex, the team started training with shooting drills
- Majority of training was possession-heavy; working on connecting on short, angled passes in confined areas
- Some focus was on game in transition, with emphasis on fast-break situations
- Tranquillo Barnetta connected on many good passes, working alongside Kevin Kratz
- Leo Fernandes had a couple good strikes on the ball, one with his left foot that found the back of the net
- Training staff was also stretching a lot of guys out throughout training session, keeping their muscles loose to prevent any further stress
Friday’s training session wasn’t heavy in contact but was taxing nonetheless.
