Upon arrival, the coaching staff—led by Portuguese head coach José Ribeiro—decided to grant the players an 18-day rest period, given the physical and mental toll of the tournament and the intense match schedule.
This break comes as part of a comprehensive plan to rehabilitate players both physically and psychologically, before resuming group training sessions. Training is set to resume after the break in preparation for the new season, which is expected to include an intensive training camp featuring several friendly matches, either domestically or abroad.
The technical staff aims to use this period to boost fitness levels, address tactical issues, and build team cohesion ahead of the next competitive season. The team’s impressive performance at the Club World Cup provides a solid foundation for further domestic and continental achievements.
