Our first full day here was packed from beginning to end and did not disappoint. A jamon-filled breakfast was followed by a nice surprise. The Spain U17 National Team was training outside at our facility so we went to watch the session. It turned out that it was the team's final session before departing for the UEFA U17 European Championships in Azerbaijan. Some of the group also went to watch the Spanish Women's National Futsal Team training. Spain U17 National Team Session (17 players 3 GKs): 10 minutes: Dynamic warm-up with the fitness coach Randomly, the coach would call a number and the players had to assemble in groups of that many as fast as possible. If your group had too many or too few then the group had to do push-ups. 10 minutes: Speed, agility, and stability (VIDEO) 3 stations, players worked at each station for approximately 3 minutes. 7 minutes: Rondo 7 v 2 (in 8' x 8' box) Players tried to get 20 consecutive passes. 7 minutes: Big Rondo in the center circle (VIDEO) 3 players in the center, players on the outside must play 1 touch, players in the middle must clear the ball outside the circle if they win the ball. The player who gives the ball away plus the player to his Left and his Right go in the middle as the 3 new defenders. ~15 minutes: Pattern play with crossing & finishing (VIDEO) They played 4 different patterns, each including a big diagonal ball and then a cross from either the fullback or the winger. One small detail that we all enjoyed was the extra balls placed on the endline (see picture). That way, if the long-ball was wayward, or the player missed his touch (see video), there was still a ball to cross and finish immediately without messing up the timing of the runs. ~20 minutes: Conditioned game (10 v 10) (VIDEO) 2/3 field with halfway line marked by cones. Red GK starts with ball. Red team has 6 players in defensive half (GK, back 4, & holding mid). Blue team has 4 pressing players. Must build out, once reds have crossed the halfway line, 2 players from their defensive half can join the attack to make it a 6 v 6 to goal. Fullbacks were encouraged to join the attack, occasionally the holding mid. The exercise works the same in both directions. ~20 minutes: Game in 2/3 of field (9 v 9) with set-pieces mixed in (VIDEO) Everything in the session was short and sharp and moved quickly from one activity to the next. After the Spain session we hopped on the bus to Madrid where we walked around and saw some of the sights including: Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, and Palacio Real de Madrid. The weather was perfect and Madrid is a beautiful city. We grabbed some lunch (a chorizo bocadillo and brava) and then took the bus to Getafe to see the first team train. The session was pretty relaxed, Getafe won an important match 2-0 the day before so the subs did a recovery session with some Rondos, passing patterns and some unopposed crossing and finishing. The team trained in their stadium so it was in a great venue. After returning to the hotel, we listened to a lecture from the Getafe Academy U16 coach, Wilson Arias, who spoke to us about the Tactical Offensive Principles that Getafe considers in its training. The coaches had plenty of questions for Wilson and we are going to watch him train his team tomorrow. He even offered to tailor his session to any topic that we requested. Finally, we ended the day by watching the Mighty Blues comes back to stuff Spurs and hand Leicester the Premier League title. What a goal from Hazard! Tomorrow we are going to see Rayo Vallecano train and speak to one of the coaches from Atletico de Madrid.

No sir - I don't know any Spanish! Obviously when we watch the sessions the coaches are working in Spanish, but we have a tour guide / translator with us who is helping us out.
