Mamelodi Sundowns To Rely on Medical Staff & Sport Scientists! The Brazilians are currently enjoying pre-season.
Mamelodi Sundowns have recently arrived in Netherlands to continue training. They are expected to return home with jetlag and some fatigue.
Masandawana will play four friendlies while in the land of the Dutch. They will face opposition from Netherlands and Belgium.
With their season beginning on the 4th of August, their schedule of the new campaign is already congested.
“The anticipation is that it affects us when we get back to South Africa,” Mokwena told the club media.
“Traveling, jet lag, time zones and altitude, these are all the problems we are going to have to overcome upon our return to South Africa. At the moment [it doesn’t affect us] we are training as normal.
“We’ve got morning training sessions and the players still have time to recover in the evening, and in between we’ve got a couple of sessions [such as] morning tactical session and then we’ve got a bit of gym work midday, and then in the afternoon or early evening we’ve got video sessions for the players individually. The work is the same as we would have in South Africa.
“But our biggest challenge will be that week upon our return and that’s when we are going to really have to rely on the quality of our medical staff and our sport scientists to get our players over the line.”
“It’s about choice depending on the load of the previous season and then also depending on what is anticipated for the upcoming season. We decided when we had a look at the program to anticipate the return of the start of the league and that we would split our pre-season into three compartments.” He added.
The Brazilians will kick off their DSTV Premiership campaign against Sekhukhune United. Mamelodi Sundowns To Rely on Medical Staff & Sport Scientists!
