Intense session held this Thursday in Majadahonda of Atlético de Madrid to prepare for Saturday’s match (9 pm) against Barcelona at Montjuic.

Angel Correa That was Cholo’s only casualty. The striker stayed in the gym due to a sprained ankle. The others are all available. AND Simeon confirmed the eleven with which he rehearsed on Wednesday at the Metropolitano, that is, with Lino’s Gallagher as the only new one.
The coach insisted on the team formed by: Oblak; Llorente, Giménez, Lenglet, Javi Galán; Giuliano, De Paul, Barrios, Gallagher; Griezmann and Julian Alvarez. And he showed that he was very clear about the plan to try to deactivate the leader and hurt him in the attack. To do this, he organized two teams, starters and substitutes, with the latter imitating Barcelona’s movements.
First we need to work on defense. There, the coach urged his men to let the center backs get the ball and, above all, insisted on closing down the middle. that’s it Julian either Griezmann cover the midfielder in charge of getting the ball to the team flip or that the central defenders hope not to let Lewandowski receive are some of the instructions given by Choloapart from that Neighborhoods and From Paul Follow the second line players who want to reach the area.
Besides, Giuliano and Gallagher They will help a lot in defense. In this session they have done it, plus Lino and Riquelme as if they were the wingers of Barça.
And in attack, Simeone tried to escape the high pressure exerted by the team led by Hansi Flickwith centre-backs trying to prolong the ball and then organize quick attacks on the wing to damage a Barcelona that plays its defense very advanced. That’s why he asked Witsel and Azpilicuetawho are the center backs of the substitute team, to move up the line.
The mattress coach has fixed several situations, both in attack and defense, that will occur during the match if Barcelona does not change its style, something that the Catalan team will probably not see matches from when flip He is your coach. Simeon He studied in detail the leader of LaLiga, which he intends to surpass on Saturday in Barcelona, something he has not been able to achieve on the previous 17 occasions.
