Atlético will alter their usual plans for a Champions League match on their visit to London tomorrow to play this Wednesday against Chelsea. The pandemic has caused the Madrid team to change some of their habits. The rojiblancos will be in a bubble on their way to the English city. Arrive, sleep, play and return to the capital of Spain. In four words, it is the plan that Atlético has planned.
To begin with, the Madrid team will train tomorrow Tuesday in Majadahonda, as it does normally. The press conference prior to the match will also be held by Cholo and a player here in Madrid. And Atlético will not train in the stadium where the match will be played. The rojiblanco team will travel to London in the afternoon, where they will remain concentrated until the time of the clash.
The order within the rojiblanca expedition is that no one can enter or leave the venue. Normally, both the Cholo and some members of the coaching staff usually go out for a run or a walk near the hotel, but this time no one will enter or leave it. Everything that the members of the expedition want to do will be within the place chosen by the team rojiblanco to spend the night in London on Tuesday.
The team will travel to Stamford Bridge before the game and as soon as it is finished they will return to the capital of Spain. on what will be a whirlwind trip to London. After the game there will hardly be time for rest, since later they will face Alavés on Sunday. The week is crucial and after it the rojiblancos will have two weeks off until playing again, this time against Sevilla.
