Atlético: Derby Mentality in Majadahonda
Atlético de Madrid doesn’t rest and is already preparing for the crucial Champions League match against Real Madrid. Under the rain and cold of Majadahonda, Simeone’s team trained with their minds set on the derby.
El Cholo knows there is no room for rest and the intensity is maximum in each training session. Koke and Azpilicueta, injured, did not train with the group. The Argentinian coach led a short session where the ball was the protagonist.
The players who started against Athletic did gym work, while the rest played matches in reduced spaces on the pitch. It is expected that in Monday’s training session, Simeone will begin to outline the starting eleven for the important clash against Real Madrid. The Rojiblanca fans trust in the meticulous preparation of the team to face this challenge with grit and determination, seeking a favorable result at the Metropolitano.
