The Tottenham players are currently in preparation camp in South Korea, where they must play two friendly matches. Antonio Conte, who arrived at the club in November 2021, had, in particular, planned three training sessions in 24 hours, including one open to the public and under the eyes of 6,000 people.
The former coach of Italy (2014-2016), renowned for being particularly demanding, has thus concocted for his players a second particularly intense training session of the day. The Spurs then had to run 42 pitches in a difficult South Korean climate, with 30 degrees and high humidity. “This week, we are going to work double sessions and play two games, had warned the transalpine coach. It will be a good opportunity for all the players, the whole squad, to play and for me to use the rotation and get those players in shape. »
A physical test that some players obviously had a hard time supporting. On social networks, images of sessions have been unveiled. We see Tottenham players collapsing at the end of the race. England striker Harry Kane failed to finish his races, as did Heung-Min Son who struggled to get up despite help from his teammates.
The resumption of the Premier League will be played on August 6 for Spurs who will host Southampton, before playing a clash against Chelsea on the second day.
