There is little time for relaxation and distraction.
River barely had a free time since he arrived in Orlando to do the preseason because the squad
was vaccinated against Covid-19
at the same airport in the city this Saturday and this Sunday he began with the intense preparation work that will be carried out until 4 July (on Monday 5th he returns to Buenos Aires).
The delegation took advantage of the brief period of post-vaccination sports rest arranged by the doctor
Pedro Hansing
to take a walk around the city center and post some photos on their networks, as did the Colombian Jorge Carrascal.
The group applied the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which consists of a single dose and
is not yet approved in Argentina.
A while after arriving at the luxurious Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center, which is just six minutes by car from the ESPN Sports Complex, a first-rate complex where the group will train starting this Sunday, the footballers
came out to give a lap
to relax and enjoy the cute Disney town.
⚽️ This afternoon, River's first training
session
in Orlando:
⌚️ 6:00 p.m.

The tour was a tour that included a couple of stops so that the players could walk a bit after the
long trip from Ezeiza, the stopover in Lima and the vaccination process
.
Of course, in the middle of the tropical climate of Orlando's summer, totally opposite to the cold with which they had gotten on the plane on Friday night in Argentina.
Obviously, the campus will once again have some free time, especially to visit
Disney World and Universal Studios
, but that will be later.
Because this Sunday began the intense pre-season stage focused on the team arriving in physical and footballing fullness to the competition in the second half of the year.

River is coming up with the series of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores against Argentinos (on July 14 at the Monumental and on July 21 at La Paternal), the local tournament and the Argentina Cup, where they must face nothing less than Boca in the eighths.
For this reason, Gallardo has scheduled two friendlies against
Barcelona from Ecuador
(6/30 and 7/4), which for now are the only ones standing: due to lack of headquarters, the first preparation match against
América de Cali
fell
in Miami, in news that hit the fans who live there: the game was to be played with an audience at the Inter stadium.
Although in these hours the CD
negotiates the chance
to face precisely the team of David Beckham, in which the brothers Federico and Gonzalo Higuaín play.
