A new week of VfB training began on Monday with the players working up a sweat – but on the treadmill instead of on the pitch, as they completed a series of performance tests.
Mohamed Sankoh, Ömer Beyaz and Wahid Faghir kicked things off in the morning as they gave their all on the treadmill. “The lactate test pushes you to your limits,” said Angelo Stiller. “For me, music is very important because it motivates me a lot. I’m also stubborn and tell myself that I can’t stop sooner than I should.”
Stiller is nevertheless pleased that team training is back on the agenda on Tuesday: “The lactate test isn’t our favourite. That’s why we’re happy that we can train in front of the fans tomorrow and give everything out on the pitch.”
Head coach Sebastian Hoeneß’s team will have a public training session at the club complex on Tuesday 16 July, starting at 10:30 CEST.
