The breaks in the league caused by the commitments of the national teams are usually a good time for the players of Atlético de Madrid which remains working under the command of Diego Simeone have more productive training sessions than usual, because they are less effective and because there is no game in between, they are more intense than when there is.
And one of the most exploitative of this break is Clement Lenglet. The Frenchman was the penultimate signing made official by the red and white club in the month of August, when LaLiga began. A day later it arrived Juan Mussowho even debuted in San Mamés due to the indisposition of Jan Oblakwho also cannot play in Slovenia because he still carries the consequences.
Returning to the Frenchman, he takes advantage of this break to adapt to his new team and pick up the concepts demanded by the coach, Diego Simeone. He was seen well in the training sessions held this week at Majadahonda Sports City and it will not be a surprise if he will have his first minutes as a red and white team in next Sunday’s match against Valencia.
The 29-year-old centre-back, on loan this season from Fútbol Club Barcelona, Athletic ready to recover his best level, which he offered in Sevilla and which brought him in exchange for 36 million euros to the Camp Nou, where he could not show it later, or in his loans to Tottenham and Aston Villa.
“I’m much better physically and I can contribute a lot,” said the French footballer on the day of his presentation as a red-and-white player. And there he is, taking advantage of this break as much as possible to prepare and have his first minutes at Atlético de Madrid.
