Atlético has trained this morning at the Majadahonda facilities in a new preparatory session for the meeting on the 13th in Lisbon. The rojiblanco team trained for an hour and the ball was the protagonist, since the players they played several games and exercises in a confined space. The intensity and pace in the training sessions has grown as the training sessions have continued. In those exercises Simeone rehearsed the pressure on the rival and also precision when controlling and passing the ball.
In the work session neither Vrsaljko nor Thomas participated along with the rest of their teammates, who are recovering from their respective injuries. Nor did Trippier, Lodi or Hermoso jump to the field for load control.
At the end of the session, Simeone gathered all his players in the center of the pitch and was talking with the staff for about ten minutes. The whole group was on the field, the players sitting on the grass, and Cholo speaking to the squad. The match on the 13th is approaching and Atlético has a great opportunity to do something important in this Champions League. But no one is aware that Leipzig will be a tough rival and Simeone did not miss the opportunity to talk with his squad.
