Atleti: Intense Preparation Aimed at Espanyol
Atlético de Madrid continues to fine-tune its machinery, focusing on the crucial match against Espanyol. Cholo Simeone, true to his style, maximized the training session, although he had notable absences due to international commitments.
Key players such as Correa, Giuliano, Nahuel, De Paul, Julián, Giménez, Reinildo and Sorloth are representing their national teams, leaving a gap in the team’s daily routine.
To make up for these absences, the Rojiblancos’ coaching staff turned to the talent of the youth team, using it as sparring to polish tactical details and try different variants. Oblak led those present from the first team, while Le Normand did specific work after his participation with Spain.
Koke, for his part, combined exercises with his teammates and with the youth team. The Colchoneros squad hopes to recover players in Thursday’s session, with the hope that Nahuel, De Paul, Giuliano, Julián Alvarez, Giménez, Sorloth and Reinildo will join the work at Cerro del Espino.
The goal is clear: to arrive in optimal conditions for the clash against Espanyol and add three vital points to continue climbing positions. Intensity and commitment are the hallmarks of this Atleti, which does not give up in the face of adversity.
