On the third day of training camp in Bad Ragaz, the sun finally broke through, driving the clouds away – at least temporarily.  After the rain of the last couple of days, the air was hot and humid on Thursday.

But there is no “mercy” from Borussia Dortmund’s training staff. There were again three training sessions scheduled, with the second and third, as on Tuesday, focusing on ball work and tactical elements of the game.

The daily schedule looks like this:

0700 Wake-up time
