Day 2 blog: Intensive training session for starters | Training camp in Weimarer Land

+++ 11:51: High-intensity drills in confined space ⚽️✔️ +++

The main part of the first session of the day has just come to an end. Now there are a few runs to come, then a quick trip to the neighbouring gym – and, to round things off, of course, some autographs and selfies with the fans. You can find some highlights of that here too!

+++ 11:23: Rondos, sprinklers – and plenty of work on and off the ball! 🔥💯 +++

The Werkself held the first part of their current training session on the second pitch. In front of several hundred fans and Brian the Lion, who was posing for photos with the many children present, they moved onto the main pitch a good quarter of an hour ago and got down to business. They are currently doing a few rounds of rondo – and, thanks to the sprinklers, players, coaches and fans are getting a welcome chance to cool off every now and then. It really is very hot here! But there’s nothing to complain about – the conditions, especially the pitch, are absolutely top-notch!

+++ 09:57: First training session on the pitch in perfect conditions ☀️💪 +++

Good morning from Blankenhain! Today marks the start of gruelling training sessions at this year’s training camp. After breakfast together at the team hotel, the squad set off as a group on bikes and in golf buggies to the training ground, some five minutes away from the hotel.

With the sun shining brightly, temperatures around 30 degrees and some great tracks from Burna Boy and co., the Werkself are now warming up in the gym – before heading out onto the pitch for their open training session.
