Said by Gerrard on Villa TV So this will cause our concern for player performance upon returning also.Jet lag, are they serious??? They aren't flying economy class. Business or first class is fine for getting rest, so they shouldn't get jet lagged. I didn't last time I travelled to UK and back so why would they??

Quote from: Footy-Vill on July 14, 2022, 09:28:48 AMThe only other issue right now, I have a concerned about players being cooped up with each other for two weeks in an attempt to force bonding with no time for families, friends, or outside enjoyment that they have back in the UK. Just to switch off a bit. Its all a bit intense to make these guys winners and a team.In some ways, it's like they're stuck with one another when they can't see their loved ones. I understand the clubs idea and Gerrard's had to give reasoning to justify the long haul , and this will either be the best or worst preseason idea. As long as players have some freedom, and I'm not sure how much social fun they can have outside of the group, as well as any training ground brawls or spats from having to day in day out live with each other.Footy, chill out. Just let it go. Australia is a great country, they will love it and go back to UK closer together and ready to rip Rennes a new one. Stop looking for negatives all the time. I take it I wont see you in Brisbane on Sunday mate:).

So that would be a comparison to the amount of relaxation the players should get. It's not like they are forced into an economy seat for the flights.
