Geoffrey kondogbia put an end to an intense day in rojiblanco training for the first time with his new teammates at the Ciudad Deportiva de Majadahonda. The signing of Atlético de Madrid to replace Thomas Partey He had a full day after going through the Metropolitan, where he met the president Enrique Cerezo, and Terriotorio Atleti, which culminated in Cerro del Espino.
Although the Frenchman had already exercised alone, this Thursday afternoon was the first time he was under the command of Diego Simeone, who already has the reinforcement he wanted to complete the midfield after the Ghanaian's last minute march to Arsenal, which paid the amount of his buyout clause, 50 million.
Under heavy rain Kondogbia he met some of his companions on the lawn. Because not all of them exercised, since the coaching staff decided that those who started against Lokomotiv should have regenerative work, despite the fact that on Wednesday there was a rest day. The tight schedule forces us to go with leaden feet in this regard. The midfielder did not meet Vitolo, injured in Moscow, and whose medical part has been known this Thursday.
The one Kondogbia did exercise with was with Saul, with whom he will share the double pivot on more than one occasion. The man from Elche was substituted at halftime against Lokomotiv. He was coming out of an injury that had caused him five games to lose and worked alongside men like Torreira, Hermoso, Felipe, Lemar or Saponjic.
THE FRIGHT OF GRBIC
Ivo Grbic He gave the fright of the afternoon when he had to be attended a few minutes after starting the training. He was hurt by a ball in the right command that led him to be treated by the doctors, although from Atlético they assure that the matter did not pass to greater.
This Friday morning, Atlético will complete the last session before receiving Cádiz at the Metropolitano, with all available troops on the pitch.
