Real Madrid Confidencial A completely unprecedented preseason: this is how Real Madrid prepares for the start of LaLiga
Real Madrid draws up a plan to be able to arrive at the match against Osasuna in good condition
This Monday, August 4, Real Madrid will return to Valdebebas to face the first training session. They are facing an unprecedented preseason, which will have to serve to prepare for the start of LaLiga. Although the truth is that they won't have much time after playing the Club World Cup.
The white club chose to prioritize their players' rest so as not to put their physical condition at risk. This is something that, as pointed out by AFE, doesn't seem to matter to LaLiga President Javier Tebas. That's why they'll only play one friendly, on August 12 against Tirol.
If that weren't enough, they still can't count on Franco Mastantuono, who is 17 years old. He will turn 18 on the 14th and will officially become a Real Madrid player. Until then, he will follow a specific plan with a clear goal.
Sources from Valdebebas confirm to Defensa Central that they want him to be ready for the league debut against Osasuna. To achieve this, he will work from day one, although in a special way. He won't be able to do it with his teammates, but he will follow a specific plan to help with his adaptation.
Real Madrid has detected two problems with Mastantuono
At Real Madrid, they don't doubt Mastantuono's quality and they know he will contribute a lot to the team. However, they have detected two problems that they will try to solve with this preseason. The first is the heat, since he is coming from winter in Buenos Aires and will have to adapt.
He has arrived in the Spanish capital in the middle of a heat wave and his body will take a few days to get used to it. But he will also have little time to get to know his new teammates. Until August 14, he can't join training with the rest of the group.
This may slightly disrupt the plans that Xabi Alonso, who wants to focus on his transformation. They know he can get a lot out of Mastantuono and will work with him for that in Valdebebas. However, he will barely have a few days if he wants him to be ready for the start of the season against Osasuna.
