Atlético Fine-Tunes Preparation for the Club World Cup
Atlético de Madrid is working hard at Cerro del Espino, Majadahonda, with their sights set on the Club World Cup to be held in the United States. The Rojiblancos have intensified their preparation with double training sessions, combining physical work in the gym, tactics, and technique.
Simeone and his team are making the most of this atypical pre-season to arrive in optimal condition for the tournament.
The squad, although diminished by the absence of internationals such as Jan Oblak, Nahuel Molina, José María Giménez, Robin Le Normand, Clément Lenglet, Rodrigo De Paul, Giuliano Simeone, Conor Gallagher, Ángel Correa, Julián Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth, has key players such as Juan Musso, César Azpilicueta, Axel Witsel, Javi Galán, Reinildo Mandava, Koke Resurrección, Thomas Lemar, Samu Lino, Marcos Llorente, Rodrigo Riquelme, and Antoine Griezmann, in addition to the return of Carlos Martín after his loan spell.
In one of the sessions, Pablo Barrios was absent due to an indisposition, although he is expected to rejoin the group dynamic soon. Simeone has been testing different lineups, including a starting eleven with Musso, Llorente, Witsel, Reinildo, Azpilicueta, Riquelme, Koke, Barrios, Lino, Griezmann, and Carlos Martín.
The Argentine coach is making the most of the presence of youth players to complete the training sessions and give them the opportunity to showcase their worth. The preparation continues with great intensity and optimism, focused on going far in the Club World Cup.
