After a week of workouts and training in London, Spurs’ preparations for the 2022/2023 season continued in the Far East. Tottenham players are in South Korea, and Antonio Conte and his coaching staff decided that the first training after arriving in Asia would be different than the players are used to.Although there were 6,000 spectators in the stands of the stadium in Seoul, the Italian did not cut his footballers any slack. In humid conditions to say the least, at over 30 degrees Celsius, he kept them on the field for as long as two hours.##EDITORS_CHOICE##It was especially difficult for the players to run 42 lengths of the pitch in the last 30 minutes. And at a much faster pace than slow jogging. According to reports from English journalists, the stars of the London club would occasionally fall on the grass, but Conte’s assistants forced them to continue, and when they were finally done, Harry Kane threw up, while Son Heung-min and some other players had a problem standing on their feet.Part of the ‘torture’ of Tottenham players was also caught on camera.Depois de 2 horas de treino debaixo de um sol de mais de 30 graus, os jogadores do Tottenham precisaram cruzar o campo correndo 42 vezes. O resultado foi esse aí da imagem 😅Os que tiveram um melhor desempenho foram Sanchez, Gil e Sarr. pic.twitter.com/lOAyybDjET— Tottenham Brasil 🇧🇷 (@TottenhamBrasil) July 11, 2022 Crazy scenes as Son Heung-Min and his teammates struggle to stand after brutal Tottenham pre-season training pic.twitter.com/pXrQ5VGMuZ— The Sun Football ⚽ (@TheSunFootball) July 11, 2022 We’ll see if this military drill was just an exception or if it will last, although it shouldn’t, since on Wednesday Tottenham will play the first pre-season match, against the best team of the South Korean K League. After that, they will meet Sevilla in Asia (Saturday), and after returning to Europe, there will be test games with Rangers in Glasgow (July 23) and Roma in Israel (July 30). The Spurs start the upcoming season with a duel against Southampton at home on August 6.##NAJAVA_MECA_6501845##Since he is still recovering from an injury from last season, newcomer Ivan Perišić trained at an easier pace in Seoul, as did Japhet Tanganga, while Dejan Kulusevski left the field after only a few minutes due to calf problems. Bryan Gil, Davinson Sanchez, and 20-year-old Troy Parrott were the best runners in the stretch.
