Riquelme, Doubtful for Mendizorroza: Atleti Fine-Tunes Aim with Their Fans
Atlético de Madrid continues preparing for their visit to Deportivo Alavés, aiming to secure three vital points. In the penultimate training session before the match, the squad, led by Diego Pablo Simeone, worked intensely in Majadahonda.
The session focused on passing exercises, high-intensity rondos, and game mechanisms, with Simeone alternating between starters and substitutes to adjust the strategy. However, the main news was the absence of Rodrigo Riquelme, who performed specific work in the gym.
His participation in the match against Alavés is uncertain and will depend on his progress in Friday’s session. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Riquelme, the atmosphere in training was positive. The team felt the warmth of their fans, who came in good numbers to support their idols on this festive day.
This show of support provided an additional boost to the team, which is preparing with determination to face the challenge in Mendizorroza and continue fighting for their goals this season. The connection between the team and the fans was strongly felt, fueling morale ahead of the next match.
