Idea from Bavaria: Lausanne players sweat together via app

No team training for weeks: The Corona crisis turns footballers into individual athletes. The kicker unwind their individual programs at home, each individually. Not so in Lausanne!

–

The Challenge League top club says on Wednesday morning: finally back to the common training. Of course not on the soccer field. Lausanne coach Giorgio Contini virtually brings his players together.

–

At 10 a.m. precisely, all players log in from home – from the room, from the hobby room or from the garden – using the «Zoom» app. The ascent candidate is reunited – at least on the screen. Clippers Aldin Turkes, assist king Stjepan Kukuruzovic, top talent Andi Zeqiri and Co. They are all there.

After the training there is a chat

Then get down to business. Under the guidance of the Kondi trainer, there is a one-hour strength and stabilization program. The whole team sweats together via the app. “It was a lot of fun,” says trainer Giorgio Contini to BLICK, “that feeling was missing that you get together for training, that you can talk to each other and that there are mutual sayings.” After the training, the team stays online, there is chatting and joking.

Contini discovered the idea with the training via the Zoom app at Bayern Munich when the Bild newspaper reported about it. «It was a nice change. We will do it again next week, »says the ex-Vaduz and St. Gallen coach.
