Atlético de Madrid kick off a new season in LaLiga EA Sports tonight (9.30pm). Diego Pablo Simeone's team is aiming to take a significant step forward, and has therefore significantly strengthened its squad. However, the Argentine coach has already made it clear that the squad is not complete.
Aside from the possible additions and departures that could be added, Atlético de Madrid arrives in good form for the first duel. The change in physical preparation, which Luis Piñedo has joined, has been notable. In fact, there is one fact that highlights the change that has occurred with respect to the time of 'Profe' Ortega .
The Atlético de Madrid statistic that highlights a real change
Given the large number of injuries that have occurred in recent years, it was understood that it was time for a change. For this reason, the man who was the physical trainer of the great successes of the 'cholismo' said goodbye to Atlético de Madrid . Luis Piñedo , his replacement, could not have started his time in the first team on a better footing.
In fact, one fact has been highlighted that underlines the importance of his arrival in such a delicate field. After more than a month of training, not a single Atlético de Madrid player has suffered any injury. This represents a substantial change from Ortega 's last stage, where ailments were constant.
The Luis Piñedo method at Atlético de Madrid
In order to see the results of the incorporation of the new 'capo' of the preparation, two factors must be taken into account. As Patricia Cazón points out in As, Piñedo is based on two pillars: work with the ball and individual work. Accompanied by his assistants, who study the results of the efforts on a daily basis, he acts.
Based on these types of elements, training sessions are planned differently, since they are done in groups. One of his main virtues is that he does not want the players to do the exercises just because, but rather he explains why they should do them. In addition, another key detail must be taken into account to understand Piñedo .
Before the new season started, he called up all the Atlético de Madrid players one by one. All with one main objective: to find out the physical condition of each of its members. This way, he could work more thoroughly and accompany them in the best possible way.
Atlético de Madrid, facing a very exciting season
Given that no one has been injured yet, the Atlético de Madrid squad is getting back into gear today. Diego Pablo Simeone 's squad, against Villarreal , wants to show what it is capable of, so it hopes to take a step forward to start the season. Only in this way will they be able to achieve all their objectives and show that they are in great shape.
