Tuesday is a harder night with small games, sprints and then interval games which are really intense but really enjoyable. Thursday is similar to Tuesday but there is a little tactical work thrown in. Friday is a lighter session as we play on Saturday or Sunday. On top of that, I include two other weight sessions and two bike sessions to maintain some extra fitness. Playing in Europe is fantastic.
Football is on the TV and in the papers every day and is a big part of everyone's life.
We have played a warm-up game against a Norwegian team and we travel to Sweden on the weekend to play one of their best teams. The standard here is very good. The players here move the ball well, keep the ball well and are more intense at training than in Australia. It is hard not to follow other European football. The Champions League is on every week and there is Spanish football and English football every week.
