Towards the Champions League! Atleti doesn't slow down
Atlético de Madrid, with the Champions League practically in their pocket, has resumed training at the Ciudad Deportiva del Cerro del Espino after the goalless draw against Deportivo Alavés.
With a considerable advantage over their pursuers, the Rojiblancos have one foot in the top European competition, although the coaching staff, led by Diego Simeone, strives to avoid any relaxation.
In Sunday’s session, under the watchful eye of Luis Piñedo, the team’s physical trainer, the players worked intensely in unconventional rondos. After a considerable physical effort, the players had to face the task of stealing the ball in numerical inferiority.
Piñedo constantly encouraged the players to press and not slow down: “Make them suffer, make them suffer!”. Demand and concentration are maximum in each training session. The objective is clear: maintain intensity and ensure qualification for the Champions League. With the unconditional support of the fans, Atlético de Madrid is preparing to face the final stretch of the season with the claw and competitive spirit that characterize it.
