The training, nutrition, and rest are the three pillars of any athlete, to which the cohesion of the team in team sports must be added. Sergi Barjuan, Almeria coach is aware that in a league as equal as Segunda, the group is fundamental to achieve the goal of promotion. Hence, one of the goals of the concentration in Las Caldas Villa Termal is the unity of his players.
The Catalan coach has already carried out two activities for this purpose in Asturian lands. One was last night's treasure hunt. The union team was divided into five groups, who had to find specific locations outside the concentration hotel through clues. At the different points, the players carried out group activities.
All of this with timed challenges to add a competitive element. All tests focused on helping and communicating with teammates. "Any adversity we encounter along the way, we will have to overcome as a team," Sergi concluded.
In addition to this treasure hunt, the coaching staff took the rojiblanco players to play paintball this week. In the town of Candamo, the players, divided into two teams, had to complete different missions in an activity that lasted three hours.
On the other hand, Jonathan Zongo joined the Asturian concentration last night after spending two weeks in Burkina Faso reflecting on whether to have surgery on the fracture of his fifth metatarsal on his right ankle or opt for a more conservative treatment. The African winger has chosen the second option, his initial thought, as reported by AS on July 17.
