The players had a tough training session in Austria on Thursday as pre-season continues.
The players had the chance to relax following yesterday's long trip and the evening training session. The majority of players chose to go to bed at around 22:00pm, while some went for a well-earned massage from one of the physio's. Massages are sure to prove popular over the next few days, as the players have several training sessions and three friendly games ahead. The squad awoke at around 8am on Thursday morning, before heading to breakfast at 8.30am. The coach was waiting to take the player to the morning session at around 9.30am, for the approximately 10km journey to Jenbach. Manager José Gomes and his coaching staff held the morning training session on the pitch of the local 5th division side.
The weather conditions are similar to those back in Hungary. The heat rose to around 35c during the morning session, but cooler weather is on the forecast in the days ahead. Sandor Torghelle is training on his own at the moment, while Zsolt Haraszti is also doing some ball work as he continues his rehabilitation. Lunch followed the morning session and a well-earned period of rest after that. The players then headed to the gym for some weight training, under the watchful eyes of new fitness coach Daniel Papp.
