#B04inAustria – Seoane: 'Consciously chose the timing'

Following the first training sessions at the Alois Latini Stadium in Zell am See, the Bayer 04 head coach Gerardo Seoane was extremely positive about the first days at the training camp. The Swiss manager talked about the excellent conditions in Salzburger Land, the travelling group, and his plans and targets for the summer training camp with the Werkself. We have put together the most important statements.

Gerardo Seoane on…

…the first days in Zell am See-Kaprun: We had a relaxed journey here and are happy with everything to date. As with every year, we have great conditions here – the pitch is brilliant, the hotel is great. The crucial thing at a training camp above all is for us to have all the players together for a longer period of time. Then we have enough time to work with the individual players and also able to have lots of discussions as a team and individually.

…the timing of the training camp: As we wanted to have all the players on board at the training camp, we consciously decided to travel later this time. Last year a lot of players were still at the European Championships at the time of the training camp. Now we are all here and are already a step further on. That means we are able to be more targeted in our work this week. We want to put the content of the previous sessions into practice in the friendly against Panathinaikos and then the training content from the other days in the game against Udinese.

…the state of play with the Werkself: We've more or less had this set-up for over a year and that's an important point. At the start of last season, we faced one or two challenges above all due to the signing of a lot of young players in defence. They have all developed extremely well since then. Therefore, I believe we are much more solid.
