After getting back into team training, the next step for the players is to get into the training camp without contact from the outside world, ahead of the season restarting. SVW will continue to hold the full team training sessions inside the stadium. The reasons for this are obvious: firstly the training is closed to the public, and secondly, the atmosphere of the deserted wohninvest WESERSTADION is similar to how it will be during the matches. “We normally never have the opportunity to perfectly simulate the competitive situation in football. Now, we do," said Kohfeldt. In the same vein, the players will be doing a lot of 11 vs 11 games in training to try and simulate game day conditions.
In addition, getting used to is the main aspect of training design: Small and large groups, possession games, basic elements of team tactics and set-pieces on days with less athletic strain - the coaching team will work intensively with the players until next Monday. Then when the turf of the wohninvest WESERSTADION finally sees the return of football with the home game against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, it will be clear what Florian Kohfeldt's demands on the players are.
