Real Madrid Final stretch in Valdebebas
Kiko HuescaBRAND
TOstart the fifth week of training in Valdebebas, the one that closes the preseason more atypical than there is memory in the white club. A ‘stage‘which on this occasion did not take place in the facilities of the UCLA in Los Angeles, but in the complex located in the north of Madrid, which has become the refuge in which the whites have tried to rearm facing the return of a League that, for Madrid, will resume next Sunday with the visit of the Eibar to the Say Stfano.
Zidane, who gave his players free yesterday and today, will therefore have five workouts to finish outlining the match against the basques, the first of the eleven finals that await the whites to try to snatch the leadership from the hands of the Barcelona. The feeling in the locker room is that they can hardly afford mistakes, and even the need to add all the points at stake (33) to achieve what will be 34 League in the palmars of the white club. The madridistas do not expect great concessions from a Barcelona that, as has happened in the case of Hazard, they recover for the final stretch Luis Surez.
This second 19-20 ‘preseason’ has been marked, above all, by the sanitary measures who have surrounded the team’s activity since, on May 11, the Madrid fans they returned to Valdebebas 60 days after the positive of Trey Thompkins force all of them to seclude themselves in their homes. There were two months without specific work, which forced Gregory Dupont to design a plan special preparation for eleven games, very different from the one planned for the end of the campaign. Despite the fact that most of the Madrid players returned in very good condition, the goal of the physical trainer has been to recover the freshness of the team facing a tournament that, more than a League, reminds of national team competitions, with a high number of compressed matches in a short space of time.
After Dupont’s turn, Zidane’s came, who from the June 1, 81 days later, was able to resume collective training. A routine that the technician considers essential, but that is limited by the conditions of the health situation. Zizou now has five more sessions to try to fine-tune his footballers, although it is not expected that there will be more little parties at Di Stfano like last Saturday. The return is getting closer every day and now the priority is to keep the mat of the new Madrid house in the best possible conditions.
