Atlético: Intensive Preparation for the Red and White Tourmalet
Atlético de Madrid doesn’t rest. After their visit to Barcelona, the team is already focused on the next challenge: Athletic. With an unrelenting schedule that includes a crucial match against Real Madrid, Cholo Simeone knows that squad management will be key.
While the starters in Montjuïc performed recovery work, the substitutes trained intensely with Luis Piñedo, demonstrating that the Red and White bench is an inexhaustible source of resources.
Players like Sorloth, with eight goals coming off the bench, and Correa, with seven, are a clear example of the commitment and quality that Simeone demands. With Koke out and the possible absence of another important player in the crucial match against Real Madrid, the depth of the squad becomes even more valuable.
Simeone will have to resort to all his options: Le Normand, Nahuel Molina, Reinildo, and Lino, among others, are alternatives to refresh the team and maintain intensity in each match. Tomorrow’s training session will be vital to adjust details and prepare for a key match in the fight for the top spots in the standings.
