Atlético Fine-Tunes Aim for the Derby
Atlético de Madrid is preparing intensely for the crucial Champions League match against Real Madrid. The team trained in Majadahonda, with their sights set on a derby that promises strong emotions.
Simeone had most of his squad available, although he regretted the absence of Koke and Azpilicueta, two key players who will not be able to be at the Bernabéu. The rest of the squad is ready to give it their all on the field.
During the training session, the players were strategically divided: those who started the match against Athletic performed less intense work, while the rest, including Lino, worked hard to prove their worth and earn a place in the starting eleven.
Simeone, true to his style, did not reveal his cards and kept the initial lineup a mystery. The main doubts are focused on the defense, where Giménez, Le Normand and Lenglet compete for two places in the center of the rear.
The final decision of ‘El Cholo’ will be fundamental to ensure the defensive solidity of the team. In addition, the choice of the player who will occupy the left lane of the center of the field, between Lino and Gallagher, also generates expectation. Atlético relies on its potential and Simeone’s strategy to face this challenge with determination. Aúpa Atleti!
