His need for rest is being hugely exaggerated. Agreed. He'll need an occasional rest as this is his first season at this level and he's still going to be growing. If he picks up a niggling injury it's important for his long term good we don't keep playing him. Look at Kieran Tierney. His issues are supposedly down to playing through injuries when he was younger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...the guys work about one and a half hours a day and a good part of that will be stretching and light ball work... Kieran Tierney would have been playing 60!games a season. Compared to around 45 if you are an ever present in an Ayr strip...I think the squad will have one really hard work session per week at this part of the session(possibly a Tuesday) for an hour..surely a super fit 18 year old can deal with that under the supervision of a sports scientist. There are 16 year olds playing first team football for Barcelona + international football ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a different world, but you don’t need a personal chef to support a young player to recover and to manage their development. There isn’t any complex equipment required either. I’m sure it would be nice, but not having it doesn’t mean that Watret can’t play thirty odd games in a season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the top level, they'll be on strict diets etc and have all these teams making them certain meals to be had a certain times, you see it all the time on they football documentaries. I am not saying Watret not having all that carry on will stop him playing X amount of games, but they guys are at the top level and that helps towards it. Lamal for instance will have a more developed body/physique at a younger age than Watret due to having all that available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no reason players at our level can’t be on strict diets with specific meal timings - it isn’t anything complex. It just involves more personal responsibility at this level, but ultimately it’s a choice. There’s obviously numerous companies that can put together your meals now too. There’ll obviously be things like cryochambers etc etc that give you an extra edge, compared to traditional ice baths. And obviously personal physios/massage therapists etc make a difference but at these clubs you are looking at seventy plus games per season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
