Atlético trained this morning at the rojiblancas facilities in Majadahonda. It was an intense session, where the ball was the main protagonist, although the players had a first part of physical exercises. But later the players already exercised with the ball. El Cholo was with all the members of the Madrid team, although in the final stretch of training, those who may be starters were taken to the annex field this Wednesday against Chelsea. Lemar and Torreira had a personalized training and will not jump onto the pitch with their teammates.
Simeone worked with eleven outfield players in the long half-hour tactical session. Of the possible eleven of Atlético to play against Chelsea there are two doubts: Lodi or Hermoso and Kondogbia or Lemar. As is clear from those seen in the work session, João Félix will be in the starting eleven with Luis Suárez. Both the Argentine coach and the rest of the coaching staff have great faith in the Portuguese, who can be crucial in the game.
Thus, Suárez, João Félix, Carrasco and Marcos Llorente will attempt the assault on Stamford Bridge and turn around a tie that Atlético has at a disadvantage by 0-1 in the first leg. El Cholo worked with Trippier, Savic, Giménez, Hermoso-Lodi; Llorente, Koke, Kondogbia, Carrasco; Luis Suárez and João Félix. It will be necessary to see if the technician puts Lemar in the starting eleven if tomorrow he already works with the rest of his teammates.
The system that the rojiblanco coach can put in was not seen either. The final part of the training was dedicated by the coach to rehearsing set pieces. Simeone insisted again and again on this type of action. At the end of the session, both João Félix and Kondogbia spent a few minutes shooting at goal from the edge of the area.
