On Thursday, the Nice staff split the squad into two groups. 

The players that took part in most of the Brighton game (0-1 on Tuesday) focused on recovery. 

On the other hand, those who played a smaller part or didn’t play against the English club got down to work. Under the stifling sun, despite the session beginning at 9am, Dante, Cyprien and the others started with some keep ball exercises. They then worked on several tactical aspects, especially working on passes to counter the high press of an opponent. 

Some of the squad continued with some work in front of goal, before heading off to greet supporters.
