Following their 2-0 victory over the United States, the coaching staff tailored an individualized schedule to monitor the players' workload and focus on preparation against Mexico. Those who played over 45 minutes in the previous match engaged in recovery activities at their hotel, while goalkeeper Léo Nannetti, who was also on the field, continued with routine tasks.\n\nDuring the training session, the players engaged in exercises aimed at preserving and enhancing their technical and physical abilities. This included finishing drills, working on crossing situations, box occupation, and playing out from the back under pressure.
