Modern footballers are not just herbal athletes; are goods, they are containers, in conditions of being filled and discharged, they are specimens.
Premier League players are designed to succeed at the top, fill trophy cabinets and burn smiles on thousands of faces every time they do their daily work.
And in fact, they are not left to their own devices. The long-term direction of a club lies not only in its stable existing skill capacity, but is based on an environment designed to dislodge potential and optimize service as from the mobile literally in the player’s position. framework to be successful.
That’s what comes into Lodge.
Tottenham Hotspur followed in the footsteps of several groups before them and allowed film crews to push, research and practice each and every moment of life out of the box at their educational facilities in Enbox.
All or nothing: Tottenham Hotspur is Amazon Prime Video’s next hugely successful series, presented on August 31, and will remain in the team’s complicated career in the 2019/20 season, beginning with the consequences of a final Champions League defeat, and then with the arrival of a Special One, and ending in an unprecedented era for world football.
RadioTimes. com has been invited to The Lodge to bring a touch of life to the scenes as the elite Premier League footballer in order to witness first-hand the processes that a player will have to go through an underpass in equivalent proportions to achieve football glory.
We were tested in a grueling workout led by Jose Mourinho’s right-hand man, driven by a team of nutritionists and chefs, before burning those calories in a supervised workout through Spurs legend Ledley King.
A whisper from the so-called “Carlos” around The Lodge is greeted with the same reaction, a smile, a smile, an inspiration.
Carlos Lalon, born in Venezuela, connoisseur of Madrid, followed Mourinho from Real Madrid to Chelsea, from the bridge to Manchester United, from Old Trafford to Tottenham.
He’s a deceptive figure, the kind of guy who feeds on the air of worry on your face as he outlines his plans for the next hour.
Whether it’s a collection of the world’s most productive footballers or a lot of less-than-crushed sports writers fresh five months on the couch, Carlos makes no concessions.
Check the call of the individual in the room, you are not one among many, you are a scholar of his diet, his contagious enthusiasm feeds a series of workouts ranging from bombs to cracks.
It’s just the warm-up. It’s a muscular smile whose purpose is to take you down.
Carlos’ routines are fast, accurate and logical. His newest plan – approved through Mourinho himself – comes to a series of short and intense bursts designed with the footballer’s movements in mind.
Each move is designed to reflect an herbal position in which a player is most likely to be placed in a game situation. No time is wasted, no drop of sweat oozes in vain. Your task is to take your subjects to the limit.
Once this is achieved, the Lodge becomes more than a building, it becomes a place to grow.
When leaving Carlos’ underground home, players have the opportunity to get into hot or bloodless pools, a consultation on the routine they like.
A variety of jets and devices will automatically massage players into specific spaces to grab or pain and discomfort after a fitness session.
One theme of the day is that absolute is a pillar of success.
The construction of the Lodge focuses on a large cottage in which Mourinho himself occupies the upstairs rooms, leading the maximum confidential discussions between his unwavering entourage.
On the ground floor, a living room with a gleaming fireplace, a space worthy of the maximum sumptuous cabins.
It’s a global away from other facilities, but there’s a purpose. And the purpose is simple: rest.
There are only two Tottenham badges at the Lodge complex, by the way. It’s about making players and staff feel comfortable, getting away from the rigors of day-to-day paintings and simply allowing them to close. Recovery is crucial.
Each is assigned a room in a two-story wing of the complex, and each is designed to microscopic details.
In-room phones cannot work on other phones in the room to lessen unforeseen jokes and inconveniences, while smoothing devices automatically darken or remove darkness up to a certain percentage, depending on the time of day. (Immediately after training, the mild environment motivates rest. . )
A sofa is included in each room to provide the best angles for the reporter so that a player’s posture is not spoiled by a Fortnite frenzy. The rooms also feature a hundred percent noise cancellation to wake others up when a player wins a round. Battle Royale.
The club needs its assets to be partially destroyed on a PlayStation in bed. Downtime is to recover, for additional strain on the body.
Bed linen is purchased to reproduce a player’s bed at home for consistency reasons. In some cases, players, on the other hand, have ordered the installation of floor beds in their homes, hence the comfort point.
The beds themselves don’t even come with feet or bases for finger injuries. Every detail, every inch, every millimeter of a player’s room is designed to increase the chances of beating X, Y, or Z on a given adjustment day.
The corridors are dimly lit, quiet, and decorated with constellations. It was only in a third or fourth passage that the true meaning of starboard became apparent.
The small touchscreens at the beginning of the wing involve a variety of 37 objectives decided through former boss Mauricio Pochettino.
The installation is called “The Universal Game”. Each constellation is a visual image of a goal, the lines between the “stars” constitute the passes between the players and the eventual blow.
First on the list? Maradona’s 1986 coup for Argentina opposed to England. Pochettino included clips by Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney, Paul Gascoigne, Lionel Messi, the headbutt of former Arsenal star Robin Van Persie opposite Spain and Erik Lamela’s outrageous rabona effort opposed to Asteras Tripoli.
The Lodge is more than a hotel, it is an immersive world designed to surround you with your arms and prevent you from hunting back to the global. You are there to rest, relax and leave.
Before you leave, it’s time to refuel, this is where The Lodge needs to return to its agricultural heritage.
Food is not served lazily, is at the molecular point and is distributed in the optimal amount needed for a footballer to locate the balance between gaining energy, combating fatigue and keeping fats at bay.
Players burn up to 5,000 calories consistent with game day, double an adult man’s intake.
Chef Ted Turner is guilty of overseeing food preparation functionality to nutritionist Craig Umenyi.
Umenyi revels behind the scenes at Everton, Arsenal and now Tottenham, and his full role is to make sure that each and every cell phone in a footballer’s frame is in the most productive way imaginable to win.
“With the intensity of the Premier League and the other cup competitions, recovery is much more important. You want to focus on what many other people care about, such as micronutrients, vitamins, minerals, other compounds, and food homes. We’re lucky science has progressed,” he said.
“We are aware of how things are painted on a cellular level, we have this wisdom of painting and biochemistry, so it is great to think of it as science, but without being artistic with food.
“The most important thing for me is the long-term well-being of the players. If we can help healthy and compatible players, by variety or if they are injured, help with their rehabilitation procedure and decrease recovery times. , that’s what it’s my turn to do.
“Of course we have to see them perform because that is the call of the game, we like to think that we do it as standard, but I am very proud to allow players to maximize their education and availability of games. “
Craig talks as if he and the team are refuelling fuel in a car, tuning their engines perfectly every day they spent, or raising cattle, as The Lodge once did.
A diversity of green juices, collagen, discovered in cosmetic surgery, and even humble banana bread, all have a place in the players’ food program, each with an express purpose, deployed at an express moment.
As a parent looking to feed a reluctant child, small snacks are created to supply giant amounts of nutrients with minimal effort to eat things.
After defeats, classic meals are abandoned instead of “funny mouths” because players won’t be in a bad mood at a table with warmer tensions than the food served to them.
Full of power and in a position to shoot, we saw our first football of the day.
It says a lot about the fact that the component of the educational day with a football at the foot occupied a small component of the Premier League footballers’ regime.
These elite athletes have played with a ball on their feet since they remember, possibly not only would they lose their touch, however, the luxuries and sumptuousness of The Lodge have not been known to many for a long time.
Football has gone from the undeniable fact of the game itself and Tottenham is deeply committed to preparing its stars every minute of the day.
Fitness regimens are designed to expand players’ mobility, core, and explosiveness.
Rest is designed to tighten, whether physical and intellectual, to publicize and expand the established platform through training.
Nutrition plans are designed to advance further in previous steps, to energize, nurture and activate the player’s potential.
And then it’s time to play.
Spurs legend Ledley King, who has since been appointed a member of the club’s technical staff, is available to motivate a session.
(Taking a deep sip of indulgence here, dividing two defenders with a backward pass to King’s approval seemed like a way to complete the purpose of life. )
The logic of the coaches is simple. They need the ball at the foot of the players to be as much as imaginable an extension of the frame and not a separate entity.
The lawn carpet is kept in a sublime state, another nod to the world-renowned base that Tottenham Hotspur now calls home.
The success would have possibly been muted, if not backwards, in 2019/20, as we will see in All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur, but at The Lodge, the north side of London has a facility that will ensure much success of the term.
All or nothing: Tottenham Hotspur will be featured on Prime Video on August 31. For more information, check out our TV guide.
