No downtime at the beginning of summer training. The Spartans had a hellish hour at their training center in Strahov. First running training, then working with the ball in defined squares. All with only short breaks, and especially with great intensity.
The players got really into the body.
“The first training was more than expected. And it will be even more difficult, the coach wants to have the players ready as best as possible, “said Jan Mejdr, a reinforcement from Hradec Králové.
For example, in running interval training, people went completely dead as much as anyone could bear. A recorded voice carried from the speaker, which set the rhythm of the individual sprints. And as they grew larger, the first weary began to fall away.
The trio Wiesner, Höjer, Trávník remained in the final. The hero Tomáš Wiesner last lasted, the Czech national team managed 29 running runs.
Equally nutritious, however, was the following exercise with the ball in two groups. The game of switching from attack to defense lasted a minute and a half, then a minute of rest, and again and again.
“Come on, yellows!” Assistant Thomas Nörgaard, who came from Copenhagen Club B.93, where he worked as head coach, had previously worked loudly at another Danish club, Lyngby.
Not only the head coach Brian Priske, but also the sports director Tomáš Rosický and his new colleague Tomáš Sivok closely watched the actions of the torn players. Former Captain Sparta takes on the newly established position of sports manager of the A-team.
“I am just happy to be on the field. Today we tested the players to have data that we can work with. Now we will focus mainly on physical training, which should help us to achieve the best possible results, “says Priske.
“She wants to have the players physically ready. Modern football such is, short, fast, intense. He shot us that this will be the complete basis, “says Spartan offspring Mejdr.
“I’ve been working in Sparta since I was young and I remember the physical test with the speaker. I’ve already had certain nightmares. I remember him very well, “adds the muscle man who came from the Votrokes with a smile.
