Atlético has trained at Cerro del Espino with the good taste of the triumph achieved yesterday against Betis (2-0) at the Wanda Metropolitano. Simeone wants to think about the next game (Tuesday in the Champions League at 9:00 p.m. against Salzburg in the rojiblanco fiefdom) and has prepared a session that has included shooting exercises on goal. The Argentine coach wants its players to have their sights fine to score their first points in this edition of the top continental competition against the Austrians.
In the morning training of the colchoneros all available footballers have participatedBoth those who played in the duel against Betis and those who saw it from the bench. However, those who were headlines yesterday have made a recovery session. In addition to the usual absences in recent days (Saúl, Diego Costa and Vrsaljko) he has not exercised with the Carrasco group either., who had to retire yesterday due to some inconvenience and the extent of your injury is not yet known. His discharge would be bad news for Simeone, since the Belgian is one of the important players of the rojiblanco attack.
Facing the match against Salzburg, the Cholo is likely to do some rotations to dose his wards and avoid further injury at an important moment of the course, in which they will play many games in a few days. Footballers like Giménez, Herrera or Vitolo can have a leading role in the Champions League, to give Torreira, Savic or Correa rest. The Uruguayan has not yet caught the rhythm of competition that a club like Atlético demands and both the Argentine and the Montenegrin have hardly enjoyed rest lately due to casualties.
