Arsenal Training Regime & Fitness

As a coach I find that very strange. I have to believe that this was only part of the interview.

My lads have losts of slow continual jogging mixed with lots of short 5 yard bursts. Its fair to say most coaches do a lot of conditioning work without the ball and maybe thats not the right balance.

Thing is the higher fitness level you have the better you concentrate on your positioning and decision making is better because your not thinking "Im fucked" all the time.

Even for Wenger I cant believe this is the ful story.

You can berate Wenger for lots of things but that isn't one of them.
You don't stay top 4 with a bunch of kids by coaching all the good qualities out of young players.

Our players are 'fit', that clearly isn't the issue here

Arsene and his revolutionary training methods lol. Another Wenger myth. The way the team physically trains is not new or different in any way, nor was it new back when he first started with Arsenal.

If anything the physical training must be put into question given our injury record. That or the players he tends to choose are simply just fragile.

I think Wenger should take note of what they do in NOrth America when it comes to training. Injury proofing ones body is mandatory for all individuals in the off season here. SOme of the comments he makes here makes me wonder if he knows anything about strength training at all. Or it could just be his english and the words he uses.
