Klinsmann enjoys watching the team train

South Korea national football team coach Jürgen Klinsmann watches his players train at the Paju National Football Center (NFC) in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, on the afternoon of Oct. 11. 

Ding, ding, ding, ding.

The national football team, 카지노사이트랭크 led by head coach Jürgen Klinsmann, went through a fitness check at the Paju National Training Center (NFC) on the afternoon of Oct. 11, the third day of training for the October A-match.

In a training session open to the media for about 30 minutes starting at 4 p.m., the players took to the practice field one by one to stretch their muscles with yoga mats and lower-body stretches before getting down to business.

About five minutes later, the team moved to the adjacent practice field and began to stand one by one on the fluorescent-colored cones placed in a row.

The players brushed their legs and seemed to be preparing for something, but then mechanical sounds began to blare from the speakers.

It was a far cry from the previous training scene, which relied on the coaches' encouragement.

As soon as the loudspeaker started, the athletes had 10 seconds to run to the opposite cone, about 20 meters away, and then start a shuttle run back to their starting position.

Three seconds before the end of the time limit, a "ding" sound was broadcast every second, and a "bang" sounded when the 10 seconds were up.

Despite running 25 40-meter round trips in 10 seconds, the players didn't show any signs of fatigue.

"Coach Klinsmann wants to collect basic fitness data such as long jump in place, short sprints, and shuttle runs," said an official from the Korea Football Association. "This shuttle run was prepared to see how fast the players' heart rate recovers."

Each athlete's heart rate was fed into the team's computers in real time through the equipment they wore.
Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), who didn't play in the A-match in September due to a thigh injury, was at the far end of the field and completed all of the shuttle runs with his brothers.

However, captain Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), whose thigh is not at 100 percent, did not participate in ground training on the day, instead focusing on personal training, including cycling and stretching indoors.

An association official said, "We have been in constant communication with Son Heung-min about his physical condition since before the call-up. He is not currently experiencing any pain, but we decided to do this to prevent injury." "We will decide tomorrow whether he will play against Tunisia on March 13." 고스톱
