"As" reported that Atletico Madrid continues to practice its main lineup to prepare for the new season.

Atle Madrid lost to Porto in the first warm-up match before the season and will have a training match with Vallecano today. This will be an important opportunity for Simeone to continue polishing the lineup and prepare for the first round of the league against Espanyol. Simeone knows that the team needs to improve a lot, but also has the potential foundation for building a good lineup.

Simone clearly required players to strengthen their ball control ability and improve their calm handling level under the pressure of their opponents. The starting lineup practiced during training also reflects this idea. Hanzko served as the main central defender, Almada served as the left front midfielder, and Baenna was in the center behind Alvarez.

The starters against Vallecano are expected to be Oblak, Llorente, Lenoorman, Hanzko, Rugeri, Cardoso, Gallagher, Giuliano Simeone, Baenna, Almada and Alvarez.

formation is not the key, and Simeone emphasizes the players' high degree of mobility. Cardoso and Gallagher form a double midfielder, while Almada Baenna Alvarez's offensive triangle shoulders the heavy responsibility of tearing the defense line.

This game will adopt a non-standard game format, allowing frequent substitutions and tactical adjustments, and will not be opened to the public. Before the game, the coaches of both sides will negotiate the specific process of the training match, and Saturday's game against Newcastle is the real warm-up match. After the World War in Porto, the coaching staff and players called for patience, but the approach of the league's opening also made time increasingly urgent.
