The first impressions of Mr. Alexander Zorniger

To Apollon official channel in youtube spoke Mr. Alexander Zorniger.

The German coach, after talking about his first days in Limassol, commented on his first impressions of the training center and the first training session with his players.

“I haven’t seen many things in Limassol so far as there are many meetings that are in progress, I am from one meeting to another. The weather is very good and the training of the next few days will start earlier.

My first impressions of the training center are very good and it is at a high level. To be honest I expected less and it is definitely on a comparable level with the first and second division teams of Germany. The gym we have is like the one we had in some teams I was in in the past.

We have everything we need to bring the team to the level we want and already some footballers give their best as there is a new way of handling them, of discussion and  new exercises. We look too much at the transition and bring the necessary energy to the field.

They did a very good job (the players) and I hope we continue at the same pace. We have three double workouts in a row, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Saturday is their day off and then we will go to Platres. It will be an intense period but so far they are responding with satisfaction to what we ask of them in the training program.

Everyone talks a lot about culture and mentality, even if they can change it, but what I’m saying is that this is football and not rock and science.

We will try to bring the strength of the players out on the field, so that they realize that the team is above everything.

We try to achieve this in the way we want to play, they are all professional footballers and athletes. They have to be in shape and that is what we are trying to do. “
