Real Madrid kicked off its pre-season during the World Cup interval, starting on Thursday, December 1. Since then, the white club has been training with a clear aim: to be ready for the league restart scheduled for Friday, December 30, 2022, when they are set to meet Real Valladolid at the Jose Zorrilla stadium.
Real Madrid pre-season before the 2022 World Cup break in Qatar: when does it start, friendlies, transfers, squad, travel and venues
Real Madrid began its pre-season on December 1 last year, focusing on returning to competitive action. From the outset, several players joined the sessions: Lunin, Odriozola, Lucas Vázquez, Vallejo, Nacho, Mendy, Ceballos, Kroos and Mariano. It is worth noting that Benzema faced an injury setback during the World Cup preview, and he would join training later as he recovered.
Players who participated in the World Cup were granted ten days of vacation following their departure from duty. Rüdiger, Hazard, and Courtois were among the first to return, with Carvajal and Asensio arriving shortly after, resuming full team activities.
There was a general sense that Real Madrid would skip many friendlies before returning to official competition. Yet a decision was made to stage a training match on Thursday, December 15, at Valdebebas, pitting the squad against CD Leganés at 11:00 am. The club’s plan did not include extensive travel during this World Cup break; instead, the team trained together at Valdebebas, including members from Real Madrid Castilla, using these sessions and in-house scrimmages to build fitness and cohesion.
