Atletico Madrid is still fine tuning ahead of the new season. After the double session yesterday, Diego Pablo Simeone today organized a three-session training day. No doubt the work rate is still hard, but the effort now will reap the rewards in the future. In addition, today we congratulate our captain Gabi, who turns 30 and will not rest despite the special day for him.

The alarm went off for the team around 6:45 in the morning and breakfast started at 7:10. After this, the squad made up of Courtois, Asenjo, Bono, Juanfran, Pulido, Miranda, Cabrera, Cata Diaz, Filipe, Insua, Gabi, Mario Suarez, Tiago, Koke, Raul Garcia, Ruben Perez, Adrian, Diego Costa , Pizzi, Arda Turan, Leo Baptistão, Pedro, Borja, Nacho Monsalve, Milla, Ivan Alejo Aquino and Samuel Villa, went to the football field at the Tryp Naiad for a session which lasted more or less an hour.

For an hour the trainers focused activity in essential skills such as coordination, flexibility, reliability and above all power: both with and without the ball. It is important to note that the intensity was maximum. The temperature and its location close to the mountains allow the team to training in a very comfortable heat.

Once this exercise was complete, the team returned to the resort for breakfast, this time a hearty one to regain strength and rest to continue fitness work in the gym. Around 10:30 am, the players were divided into two groups to optimize the work. At 12 noon the team once again retired to their rooms to rest and will return to work in the afternoon, at 18:00.
