Players Training Times

[leggybee]

I think it has been said before but as its the close season I will say it again.The good news is that I am not going to moan about how little time the players spend training or how much their hourly rate is for the time they actually work.
The point is more of a question.Why do players train in the mornings when the majority matches are played in the afternoon.Surely it would make more sense to get the body used to performing at a set time of day.I know I know .What about the evening games.All Ive done is ask the question.I am sure some of you may have an idea or two what certain players could do in the evenings to get their bodys used to hard physical activity.

It's an intelligent idea, training at the same time as matches, but don't you think even more footballers would be tempted to go on the p***, if they knew they didn't have to feel sharp first thing in the morning. Let's not tempt them. Thinking about how much some players earn, they should be keeping active 8 hours a day anyway in some form.

I doubt it makes any difference probably more tradition and convenience than anything else, allows the coaching staff to travel and watch oppo, other players etc.

A lot of teams train twice a day anyway now as the modern game requires a much higher level of fitness. I believe Fulham used to have three sessions a day!

And they're still sh*t.
