Real Madrid continue with their preparations for the new season and, if these days' training sessions have a name, it is that of Antonio Pintus. The physical trainer did some special work on Saturday with Tchouameni, Rudiger, Modric, Asensio, Valverde, Alaba and Hazard. 'Mundo Deportivo' points out what he focused on in the morning.

All these players focused on physicality. They didn't even touch the ball. Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff's priority is for them to be at 100% by the time the official matches kick off and he understands that, on this day, there was no time for technical training, which has been more in the afternoons at Real's training complex.

The other players were able to touch the ball without so many physical exercises. In fact, they played a training match between two teams. One team was formed by Courtois, Odriozola, Nacho, Rafa Marin, Mendy, Camavinga, Antonio Blanco, Kroos, Arribas, Mariano and Rodrygo; the other was formed by Lunin, Lucas Vazquez, Militao, Vallejo, Vinicius Tobias, Casemiro, Ceballos, Reinier, Peter, Borja Mayoral and Vinicius.

There were also, among the veteran professionals, some from Raul Gonzalez's reserve team, such as Rafa Marin, Blanco, Arribas, Vinicius Tobias and Peter. The relationship between the Castilla coach and Ancelotti is ideal, so if the Italian considers any of his promising players to be candidates for the first team, he will not hesitate to call them up.
