Real Madrid finished preparing for today's 20:00 CET derby against Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu. Jose Mourinho had 21 of his men on hand plus youth teamer Mejias. Arbeloa and Kaka did recovery exercises.

The 19 outfield players did ball work after tackling stretching and warm-up exercises. Marcelo, Di Maria and Carvalho were amongst them; they trained with their teammates yesterday after missing the match against Dinamo Zagreb due to injuries.

Goalkeepers Casillas, Adan and Mejias trained with goalkeeping coach Silvino Louro. They played a foot-volley game to work on controlling the ball with their feet and head. They then proceeded to do specific goalie exercises.

Mourinho's first training as Real Madrid coach



Real Madrid new coach Jose Mourinho made his first training as Real Madrid coach.
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho and his players took the training pitch 20 minutes earlier than scheduled today in Los Blancos' first training session of the pre-season, marking the beginning of the Mourinho era at the Bernabeu.

The Blancos squad, consisiting of eight youth team players along with the 10 first team players who did not take part in this summer's World Cup, took to the pitch at 9:10 rather than the scheduled 9:30 training session time and after a brief chat with the new Portuguese signal caller, began a rigorous first training session of the day, which lasted for an hour and 40 minutes.


The ball was included in many of the training exercises, including those which called for a large amount of physical exertion, and Mourinho also had his players fitted with heart-rate monitors to observe their individual effort.

The second training session of the day is to take place this afternoon after the Blancos players and coaching staff dine together at the Mirasierra Suites hotel for lunch.

The players took the pitch at 8:00 am and did several resistance exercises for an hour. Pellegrini's goal is to divide the strenous work the squad is carrying out to avoid injuries and too much strain. This is why the players were allowed to rest before their second session.

The players took the pitch at 11:00, where many fans were waiting to see them in action. Strengthening exercises and workouts to boost explosiveness took centre stage after a mild warm-up jog. The players also lifted weights and tackled several drills that focused on changes in pace.

Wesley Sneijder rejoined his team-mates after missing yesterday's session. The Dutchman has been having trouble all year due to the serious injury he suffered from during the previous preseason and the Medical Staff has determined he should do specific exercises to overcome these problems.

Diarra and Van Nistelrooy again did recovery workouts, while Miguel Palanca stayed in the small gym on the pitch recovering from the sprain on his external lateral ligament.
