Fascinating read, and some parts were :eyepop: levels. "Some [players] even balk at drinking a bottle of water at half-time, although a marathon runner might drink 11 bottles during a race" just seems loving insane to me.

If I don't drink properly while at the gym I start feeling like poo poo real quick, although admittedly I am 42 and not a pro footballer. But it still seems insane that these players have such little understanding of their bodies.

Vardy must be one of the most insufferable people to train with. As he bounces around the gym calling everyone "Plebs" for working out whilst lapping on a 2L bottle of white lightning and smoking a cig

Oldest trick in the book.

Also, port is both cool and good.

i have played a lot of football with russians who think drinking water while playing sport is dangerous and will instead have a cup of tea during a break

Eh? No they arent. The sport ones and the normal fizzy ones are both 500ml

You get fridge packs that are 380mls though


I want to believe hes using the 1L bottles though

I *think* the idea is to disguise the moment the ball is hit and/or the direction it's going to stop the wall timing their jump properly or the keeper seeing what side it's going. There was a little vogue of teams doing that with players standing in about that position for that reason, but the problem is that they couldn't time their duck out of the way in time, so some genius thought "well what if they kneel"?

Its seems bizarre that some presumably at least semi-professional athletes didn't realise that jumping from a kneeling position is literally impossible

I mean, they're not trying to jump, their purpose is obfuscation which they carried out a little too well

I meant to jump out of the way at the last second, otherwise they're literally just more bodies in front of the goal

That's literally the (stupid) point, they're not supposed to be in the flight of the ball, they're meant to block the other team from seeing when the ball is struck
