Barrios: Fine-Tuning for Colchonero Takeoff
Pablo Barrios, a gem from the Rojiblanco youth academy, is receiving special attention from Atlético de Madrid’s coaching staff. This week, the midfielder has been working apart from the main group under the supervision of Juan Ángel Piñeiro, one of Luis Piñedo’s assistants.
This individualized program focuses on load management and preventing potential muscle problems, especially important after a demanding start to the season for Barrios, who joined earlier due to his participation in the Olympic Games.
The goal is for Barrios to reach the decisive stage of the season in optimal physical condition. The specific work includes control exercises, passes, shots, and changes of pace, simulating match situations relevant to his position on the field.
The club is aware of the crucial importance Barrios has within Simeone’s scheme. His presence in the starting eleven, as demonstrated by playing complete important matches, is fundamental to the team’s success. Ensuring that he is 100% physically is a priority for Atlético de Madrid, who fully trust his talent and commitment to face the challenges ahead.
