Atlético Sharpens Aim and Prepares for Mestalla Clash
Atlético de Madrid, with Simeone at the helm, is taking advantage of this week to refine tactics ahead of the demanding schedule ahead, with the Copa del Rey and Champions League on the horizon. The focus is on the match against Valencia at Mestalla.
The squad worked intensively on finishing, with De Paul, Giuliano, Griezmann, and Julián Alvarez sharpening their aim in the finishing session. Simeone seems to have a clear strategy, with Marcos Llorente standing out in midfield alongside Gallagher and Lemar.
Competition in central defense intensifies, with Lenglet consolidated and Giménez fighting for a place alongside Le Normand. Azpilicueta is emerging as the left-back, while Nahuel Molina could occupy the right-back position, with Llorente joining the attack.
With Lino as an undisputed starter on the left wing, Correa occupied the right wing, and Sorloth, the tip of the attack. The Argentine coach rehearsed with various variants, taking advantage of the availability of almost the entire squad, with the only exception of Koke, who is recovering in the rojiblanca infirmary.
There are still two crucial training sessions to fine-tune details before the next league clash. The team is working with intensity and optimism to face the challenges ahead. The atmosphere is positive and the rojiblanca fans look forward to the next game with enthusiasm.
