Real Zaragoza: Bazdar trains separately, Ademo impresses in session

Samed Bazdar was the only absence during the first of two preparatory sessions scheduled for this Tuesday by Ibai Gómez. The Bosnian's preseason with Real Zaragoza began last Sunday after his proposed move to Swedish side AIK fell through.

Training Details

Bazdar trained apart from the group, almost always alongside Andrés Ubieto, as part of a pre-established load distribution. This approach mirrors the gradual reintegration of Saidu and Vadillo, whose respective physical issues have prevented them from participating normally. Notably, the Ghanaian had to leave the field after the first half-hour of the morning session.

It remains to be seen whether both players will take part in Wednesday's training match against Utebo, or if they will be held back in line with Ibai's principle of taking no unnecessary risks.

Intensity and Focus

Once again, intensity was the dominant note in a training session wrapped in the energy and good vibes that the Zaragoza coaching staff consider essential.

Ibai closed the session with a special segment dedicated to the center-backs. While Monday had seen the full-backs selected for an exhaustive final drill focused on tactical positioning, this time the task fell to Diego, Tachi, Barrachina, Carrillo, and David García — the five center-backs Ibai has brought to Boltaña.

Player Highlight

Earlier, during a half-field exercise aimed at quick combination play and finding and attacking space, Peter Ademo particularly shone. His display of movements, dribbles, and accuracy drew constant and numerous congratulations from Ibai.
