Real Madrid’s Preseason Dynamics: Players Shine in Fitness Tests
Intense Regimes and Unexpected Standouts Mark Preparations for New Season
Real Madrid is deep into their preparations for the upcoming season, transitioning from a demanding fitness-focused preseason phase to the anticipation of their opening fixture against Athletic Club. While the players are likely relieved to leave behind the grueling training sessions, an intriguing narrative has emerged around the performances of individual players during the rigorous tests.
Fitness Coach Antonio Pintus, known for his intense and relentless training regimes, has garnered a playful reputation among Real Madrid’s stars as a demanding figure. Despite being well-liked, Pintus leaves no room for complacency.
Reports from El Chiringuito, relayed through Diario AS, highlight several players who distinguished themselves during the fitness assessments. Among the standouts were Eduardo Camavinga, Lucas Vazquez, Fede Valverde, Brahim Diaz, Fran Garcia, Aurelien Tchouameni, Rodrygo Goes, and Vinicius Junior.
Surprisingly, the player who emerged as the top performer was Alvaro Odriozola. The former Real Sociedad right-back, who has seen limited action for Los Blancos over the past year, has evidently maintained his physical conditioning. Odriozola’s inherent ability to cover ground swiftly and his lightning-fast pace reportedly surpassed that of all other players, according to the information obtained.
Remarkably, Real Madrid is actively seeking to move Odriozola on during this summer transfer window. The favorable report on his physical prowess could potentially enhance the club’s prospects of finding a suitable destination for him. This strategic release of information into the public domain might serve the purpose of bolstering Odriozola’s market value as Real Madrid looks to negotiate his departure.
As the preseason progresses and the new season approaches, the football world awaits the unfolding dynamics, both on and off the field, within the realm of Real Madrid.
