Atlético pack their bags to Los Angeles de San Rafael

After four days of training at the Ciudad Deportiva de Majadahonda, Atlético de Madrid heads to Los Angeles de San Rafael (Segovia) tomorrow afternoon to start an intensive week where the recently renovated Simeone and Profe Ortega will prepare their players with a lot of physique and a lot of technique.

In these first days in Majadahonda, since Wednesday they returned to training, Cholo has been able to meet again with a small part of the squad League champion, only with Oblak, Savic, Hermoso, Kondogbia, Grbic and Saúl. Added to them is the recent signing of Marcos Paulo and the return of loans such as Arias or Saponjic. The rest of the international players are on their respective vacations after playing the Eurocup or the America's Cup with their national team, so they have not been present in these first training sessions nor are they expected next week in Segovia.

In this situation, Simeone has decided to have 13 homegrown players to start the first team preseasonWell, as we said, Atlético is low. Among these names stand out the players who have already played minutes with Simeone or who return from a loan, such as the goalkeeper San Roman, the defenders Huntsman Y Ricard, the midfielder Riquelme or the forwards Borja Garces Y Camel.

Also noteworthy is the presence of very young players, who do not exceed nineteen years, as is the case of Giuliano Simeone, German Valera, Javi serrano or Carlos Rojas, the latest addition to this preseason, who comes from being one of the most decisive players in the attack of the youthful rojiblanco league champion.

The negative point of these first days work has put it the positive in COVID-19 of the left back Manu Sánchez, who has had a very good season in his assignment to Osasuna and who will have to stay isolated from the group until he tests negative again, so he will lose next week's concentration in Los Angeles de San Rafael.

With these troops, Simeone's coaching staff, headed by Profe Ortega, will begin a week of concentration where the already known ones will return multiple sessions, the racing through the golf courses Y the fearsome cost, built at the express request of Profe Ortega, where the forces of the Atlético de Madrid squad will be measured.
