De Paul came in and put on his boots

De Paul is already with Atleti. The Argentine arrived at Barajas at five in the morning and, in the morning, passed the relevant physical tests, the PCR in these times of COVID, and to train. And also with news because he did it directly with the group. It has been to arrive and put on the boots.

It was 6:30 pm sharp when the Atlético footballers headed to field 1 of Cerro del Espino to exercise at the start of the third week of their preseason. A week with the great news of De Paul, at the moment the signing of the summer in the rojiblanco club, who has shortened his vacation by seven days to put himself at the command of Cholo. While Profe Ortega, Nelson Vivas and Daniel Castro organized the rest of the soccer players from the red and white squad for the warm-up exercises, with Felipe and Marcos Paulo, perfectly integrated in the group, the coach Juan Gómez stretched in the neighboring field with Carrasco, first day, and De Paul, even more ibidem, it premiered.

But as soon as the first ones finished warming up, the second ones jumped the gate and put on their boots, straight for the ball. Under the watchful eye of Cholo under his black cap, his squad spread out on the grass to do passing and control exercises. From Paul, with his shirt inside, red boots and glued to Felipe, did not clash on a physical level with the rest. It is one of its great virtues. He was also received by his colleagues with the traditional corridor of collejas.

João Félix, on the pitch

But he was not the good news of Cholo only in the afternoon since João Félix was also back and stepped on the grass, one more step forward in your recovery from ankle surgery. If a week ago I left my crutches behind, today I go down to field 1 and took a turn on it with Zahínos, today the team's physical trainer, at a good pace and tread. Then I go back to the gym, where Giménez was, in the morning he made a continuous race, and Savic, who continues with his recovery. This week Atleti is also waiting for Koke and Llorente.
