it is already preseason. The players of the mattress team will not have to return until the next day 3 to train as a group to prepare for the upcoming campaign. However, that does not mean that the rojiblancos footballers have been abandoned.
On the contrary, the rarity of the preseason, with two weeks less than usual, has made the players of the Athletic they had to go on vacation with a detailed physical program provided by the coaching staff, to get to the starting gun in the best way possible.
The first thing to note is that Simeone it will not be able to count on all its troops on the return. Up to seven players, at the moment, are selected with their countries to play international matches. We talk about Oblak, Grbic, Vrsaljko, Savic, Trippier, Joao Félix and Carrasco.
That means that they will arrive with several days of work already and the start of the preseason for them will be at the command of their respective national teams.
The fact is that, for all these reasons, although it is already a habit in the case of Athletic, the players of the rojiblanco team took a detailed work plan that they began to implement a few days ago in their respective vacations.
A somewhat more intense plan than what was usual in other seasons, because the times are more compressed. A plan that included long aerobic work (continuous running), strength circuits to tone the muscles, as well as doing some kind of sport in a gentle way, something they like (riding a bike, tennis, swimming …). During these days some of this has already been seen, in cases such as Marcos Llorente
. Although it is not the only clear. Lemar, Giménez, Saponjic, Koke… There are several rojiblancos who these days have shared activity videos for the return.
In addition, they were given a series of dietary recommendations such as avoiding fatty foods, industrial pastries, alcohol (which has a huge caloric load and no nutrients), sauces, etc. (affects metabolic behavior).
