In view of many followers who had come to try to see the training, first Simeone and then Nelson Vivas addressed the squad.
Not a laugh or joke was heard in the work session. With very explanatory gestures, the two coaches addressed their footballers, to the Correa, Oblak, De Paul, Felipe, João Félix.. At Atlético, not only the defeat against Athletic hurt, but also the way in which it occurred.
Subsequently, the work of the team began, first training session already thinking about next Wednesday’s cup game against Real Sociedad.
