Supposedly the players think they are a joke. All have there own doctors, physios etc
Levy taking matters into own hands and barca medical staff coming over this week supposedly for two days to do an assessment of the quality of our outfit
I know nothing else...nor do i know why its barca coming over
But surely they would WANT to be injured all the time with her as Physio?!Chelsea 2nd lowest
Instead of Pochettino or De Boer - perhaps we need the Midas touch?
Ahh, man. Jinxed it. Lasagnegate against Newcastle for sure now.Credit where credit is due. Not a single player is injured, the entire squad is available. Got to be a first for us.
Pochettino’s clean bill of health at Tottenham is remarkable and it owes much to the way that he and his assistant, Jesús Pérez, the sports science expert, have tailored individual training programmes for the players.
They pushed them extremely hard in pre-season and the early weeks of the season but they appear to be reaping the rewards. It might be no coincidence that Tottenham have scored more goals in the last ten minutes of matches than any other Premier League team.
“It was difficult at the beginning of the season because we pushed our players a lot in the training sessions,” Pochettino said. “We try to work very hard and now, it’s easy to push them to the limit. To arrive in this moment with the squad fully fit is very important for us.”
There are several examples of how Pochettino’s integrated fitness regime has benefitted players but Ryan Mason stands as arguably the clearest. The 23-year-old’s career has been scarred by injury problems but this season he has been available every week.
“When we arrived, at the beginning of the pre-season, it was difficult for Ryan to run,” Pochettino said. “One training session, another training session rest – it was difficult to keep the level. We designed, with the medical staff and the sports science staff, an individual programme to help him; to improve his quality and his condition. The priority was his physical condition. In the case of every player, we analyse and it’s for that that we spend more than 12 hours here [at the training ground] every day. It’s because there is a lot of work.
“When you talk about the fitness of the players, you have to talk about the structure [at the club]. It’s not only about the manager or the sports science people. It’s about creating links to all the different departments, working together and taking decisions together. Jesús is my right-hand man and he is responsible for [overseeing] the fitness, with the sports science and the medical staff. It’s very important to work on prevention and to work in the same way.”
aulinholol:Jesús is my right-hand man
Jesús is my right-hand man
aulinholol:
Jesus sits at the right hand of the father, so wouldn't that mean Pochettino = God?Does that mean Poch is sat to Jesus's left!!
Not really. The training staff has changed and Poch's people are individualising the fitness programs. So something is different.Credit to sammyspurs for his defence of our medical team/physios. AFAIK they're all still here and we're doing great injury-wise.

But the injuries have improved?
So was it still the medics fault last year?
