Arthur had the 30 athletes who are at his disposal in this pre-travel training phase to France, scheduled for the 17th. He used the tactical screen, on the sideline, to pass on his instructions and make some adjustments.

On the sunny morning in Teresópolis, after the training with the full group, the four goalkeepers, Lorena, Tainá, Luciana and Natascha, did a separate action, called a reaction speed stimulus, with the goalkeeping coaches, Edson Alcantara and Francisco Rodrigues.
