The ball, the protagonist of Atlético's morning session

Atlético returned to training this morning in the second week of their preparation, this one at Cerro del Espino and not in Segovia. Early morning, races and ball. That has been the trend of the rojiblanca session. Under the cry of “ball attack, ball attack“uttered by the 'Profe' Ortega the footballers worked the conduction.”Attack him with one foot“, clarified the Cholo. Another aspect in which the rojiblanco coaching staff had an impact was the header, with Simeone serving balls to his players, who finished off attached to a weighted rubber band.

A session with absences because Marcos Paulo, one of the signings of this summer of 2021, did not participate with the others for the fourth training session. Felipe was not there either, who rejoined the team yesterday to continue the recovery of his right knee in Madrid, after partially breaking the ligament while he was concentrating with his team, Brazil, for the Copa América. If yesterday he jogged on the grass of Cerro, this morning he was not seen, continuing his recovery in the gym.

Kondgobia, Saúl or Hermoso were the referents of the first team that led the group in the session that Simeone watched under his everlasting black cap, already a cabal in training. Waiting for the afternoon training, in which Cholo could continue to recover troops, internationals, three days before the ball starts rolling in the first preseason game at Burgo de Osma, in Atlético's sessions, he is already the great protagonist.
