Barrios, a red and white gem: Pampering plan for the youth player
Pablo Barrios, Atlético’s star youth player, is receiving special care from the coaching staff after a demanding series of matches against direct rivals. After accumulating 210 minutes in the matches against Madrid and Barça, a specific plan has been implemented to dose his energy and optimize his performance in the final stretch of the season.
The first week of the league break has allowed Barrios to recharge his batteries, with training sessions designed to reinforce concepts and recover physically. The player from Moratalaz has worked individually with one of the assistants, alternating sessions with the group and exercises of lower intensity.
The confidence placed in him by Simeone, added to Koke’s prolonged absence due to injury, has meant a significant load of minutes for Barrios. In addition, his season started earlier than that of his teammates, with his participation and subsequent success in the Olympic Games. With an eye on the upcoming League, Cup matches and a possible World Cup, the club seeks to protect the player from physical overexploitation, aware of the importance of his talent for the future of the team. Barrios’ 2024-25 season requires meticulous planning to ensure his optimal performance.
