Early start on Sunday
The Atletico players trained first thing in the morning to avoid the intense heat of this July. For the third day in a row, Atletico alternated work in the gym and on the pitch.
The first team players of Atletico Madrid were again at Majadahonda Sports City to continue the pre-season work. Diego Pablo Simeone prepared a session first thing in the morning to avoid the heat of July, in which his players began working in the gym and later put on their boots and headed on to the pitch.
After forty minutes of work in the gym, the players moved to pitch 4 of Cerro del Espino and were put under the command of fitness trainer Oscar Ortega to continue getting in shape for the 2013/14 season. In total, more than two hours of work attended by the same players who trained on Saturday afternoon. The squad put in a lot of effort consisting of physical series and small one-touch passing and continuous running to finish.
Thus, the red and whites closed a demanding weekend in their return to work with four training sessions in three days. On Monday afternoon (18:30 hours), Simeone and his staff will train in Majadahonda before traveling to the town of Los Angeles de San Rafael in Segovia, where they will begin the first phase of the preseason with a camp that will last until July 21stt and will close with the friendly in Burgos de Osma against Numancia.
