Atlético returned to training in the morning session and Simeone spent a long time working on getting the ball out and tactical exercises with his players. The Argentine coach has good news with Herrera and Hermoso, whom he has at his disposal. And as seen he will use them a lot. The Mexican formed in the starting team in movements with the ball and the defender was also with the starting theorists. Two players who can be important throughout this new campaign.
El Cholo once again insisted on tickets on the wing and insisted again and again that the defenders and midfielders open on the wing so that Trippier and Lodi could penetrate there. It is nothing new, since last season the coach used a system of three center-backs and two lanes, players who on many occasions were extreme. Atlético will continue with the same system of two footballers who are daggers per band. Simeone rehearsed with Lodi, who takes the place of Saúl, who has been playing this preseason.
In the center of the field Cholo put Koke, De Paul and Herrera. The coach first insisted on lateral movements and the ball out through the defenders, but later asked the midfielders for precision when launching Trippier and Lodi. De Paul already played his first minutes in Cádiz and should have more minutes throughout the preseason. Koke will already play in this Sunday's friendly against Feyenoord.
Arias, Giménez and Hermoso played in defense. Arias did it in the theoretical position of central. The rojiblanco team will go back to training this afternoon and Simeone is already thinking about the clash this Sunday in the Netherlands. Savic, Felipe, Marcos Paulo and João Félix continue with their respective recovery processes from their injuries.
