I think what Gareth is saying is that players like him should be able to include golf in his training

I'm not gonna argue with Gareth Bale, he actually played in defence, midfield and attack throughout his career so he has some credibility to what he says

No matter the position, having more pace and endurance is always a plus

A center back who CAN run like a striker will always be helpful for the team as long as physio team keep him healthy

Thing is, some players need to be versatile enough to play in multiple positions, and I think that’s the way football is going.

He's right foootball training doesn't address what players actually do in competitive situations and you can see that easily by outcomes on the pitch

Most of the footballers that talk a lot about training method are not reknown for their work ethic.

As a goalkeeper, can't agree more. My goodness... the unnecessary endurance running at the expense of proper GK drills.

I’m actually surprised they are expected to train the same.,Thats extremely inefficient. They should have bespoke training plans except when they play together. Weird.

What if you get into a position where you need that bust of pacee

Probably one of the best athletes the game has seen. Ran cross-country to a regional standard and 800, 1500 to county standard. This would indicate slower twitch fibres, but then he was also a faster sprinter than 99% of players in the history of the game… oh and he’s about 6ft 1 with an obviously naturally broad frame. Insane.

Who’s going to be covering and shadowing all those sprints that an attacker makes? In an ideal world you don’t want to be slower and have less sprint stamina than the player you’re trying to mark. Defenders, don’t listen to Bale and train your sprints. It’s your responsibility to try your best to keep up with him. Good luck if you aren’t going to train for it.

Id rather have a central defender who can run like a left back, than one who doesn't. I mean, I've paid millions for a reason.

😭😭 till you centre back faces a striker and winger that runs real fast then you know they need to be in top condition as well

Maybe this would have worked in the past but the future is for more versatile players across different positions in the same way psg did it last season.
