Pinzolo, Day 1: The squad arrives and the hard work begins

After settling in, the squad headed out for a first training session of the campaign - a warm-up of sorts to get over any lingering travel fatigue.

The players spent 40 minutes in the gym, before finishing off with a 20-minute mini-match on the Stadio Pineta turf.

The game ultimately finished 0-0, with Alisson saving a penalty from Diego Perotti in the most notable moment (10:35 in the above video).

What was said?

Defender Juan Jesus spoke to Roma TV prior to the day's training session...

"It was a good season last term, we gained the most points in the history of the club - but now we want to do better and know we can," Jesus, after the squad arrived in Pinzolo to begin pre-season."I have faced Sassuolo a lot of times and it was always difficult. Now [Di Francesco] is our Mister and he will be a great boost to us, especially as someone who likes the tactical side of things. It's a great thing also because there is the right enthusiasm around the place to do well."
