West Bromwich Albion have travelled to Portugal for their pre-season training camp, with the squad undergoing intense sessions ahead of the new Championship season. The club has released exclusive footage from the camp, including interviews with key players and coaching staff.
Training in the Algarve
The Baggies are based in the Algarve region, where they are taking advantage of the warm weather and top-class facilities. The squad has been put through their paces with a mix of fitness drills, tactical work, and small-sided games. Head coach Carlos Corberan is overseeing the preparations, focusing on building team cohesion and sharpening match fitness.
In an interview from the camp, Corberan said: "The environment here is perfect for us to work hard and bond as a group. The players are showing great commitment, and we are making good progress."
Player Interviews
Several players have also spoken to the club's media team. Midfielder Okay Yokuslu commented: "It's important to have this time together. We are working on our fitness and understanding the manager's ideas. The atmosphere is very positive."
Defender Darnell Furlong added: "The sessions have been tough, but that's what we need. We want to be ready for the first game of the season."
Behind-the-Scenes Access
The club has provided a behind-the-scenes look at life in camp, including footage of the team's recovery routines, meals, and downtime. The video also shows the squad taking part in a team-building activity, which Corberan believes is crucial for developing team spirit.
West Brom will play several friendly matches during their time in Portugal, though opponents have not yet been confirmed. The team is scheduled to return to England later this week.
Looking Ahead to the Season
The Championship season kicks off in early August, and West Brom are aiming for a strong start after finishing 9th last term. The pre-season camp is seen as a vital part of their preparations.
