The white team will thus close its first week of preseason with ten training sessions, since Tuesday, Friday and Sunday they will have worked in a double session.
The morning, which began with a temperature of 26ºC, was dominated by work on tactics and strategy, with series of possession and pressure, tactical work, crosses and shots and concluded by rehearsing set pieces.. Mendy and Jovic went back to exercising in the gym, so Ancelotti had ten first-team players at his command: Lunin, Carvajal, Nacho, Marcelo, Odriozola, Isco, Odegaard, Lucas Vázquez, Mariano and Rodrygo. Eleven homegrown players are training with the first team: Toni Fuidias, Luis López, Mario Gila, Víctor Chust, Miguel Gutiérrez, Antonio Blanco, Morante, Marvin, Arribas, Latasa and David González.
