Fifth early morning in Los Angeles de San Rafael for the set-up for the new season. Those of Simeone, like every morning, have done strength exercises in the gym and later have jumped on the grass to do physical exercises.
The novelty of this first morning training has been see Saúl and Oblak again with the group, who yesterday they were on the sidelines of the group to perform, according to the club, “individualized training”. That absence of Saul yesterday caused a lot of commotion by everything that surrounds the player at the moment about his possible departure. Today he will train with total normality waiting to see how his future is resolved.
However, in this morning's session, the absences have been Marcos Paulo and Kondogbia, who will follow the same “individualized training” plan that Oblak and Saúl carried out yesterday.
On the lawn it has been possible to see how the players performed a well-known endurance test called Course-Navette, which consists of running from one side to the other in a delimited space to the rhythm of a beep. The goal is to get from one side to the other before hearing a new beep., but this beep every time has a shorter time interval, making it more difficult to get from one place to another on time.
In the afternoon they will return to the training grounds to carry out the afternoon session with the ball to sharpen the aim for the first preseason matches that are just around the corner.
