Double the training, double the intensity
The Rojiblancos complete two training sessions and prepare for an action-packed weekend with the first friendlies on the horizon. Melamed integrates with his team-mates. There is no rest until Monday
The UD Almería footballers have completed the second double training session of the week and far from relaxing, what lies ahead continues to be strong emotions, with the first two pre-season friendlies on the horizon. If the week was already being demanding enough, in the coming days no one will have a break in the squad. In fact, until next Monday the footballers will continue to prepare themselves physically and football-wise.
The first two friendly matches of the summer are on the horizon. The one on Saturday against direct rivals Granada CF, while on Sunday, the Rojiblancos will play against top European team SL Benfica. Although it may seem otherwise given the proximity of the matches, Rubi's side continues to step up a gear based on what was seen this Thursday on the Anexo ground.
The coaching staff have been able to work on all possible plots. The physical, the technical and also the tactical. While the morning practice focused on tasks more aimed at the first, in the afternoon the players did tactical drills that will surely be seen outlined during these first games.
Édgar has been the absence of the day - he continues to recover from a virus with a temperature - and the highlight was Nico Melamed who, although he trained alone in the gym on Wednesday, today has joined the group with absolute normality.
This Friday preparations will continue in a session scheduled for 9:30am and once the scheduled friendlies are played, the first break after an action-packed week will arrive, on Monday. The rest of the sessions will be delivered in Marbella where another marathon of training sessions and preparation matches are planned. Prior to the training camp trip, training will be conducted inside the Stadium.
