Pep's training and injury issues

[shemnel]

Hi all,

i'm not a big follower of what happens in training but i like reading about the training reports etc, so I wondered if some more clued up Blues could chip in.

Do we know if Pep's training regime is far more intensive fitness wise than other recent managers? (i'm guessing it is due to on-pitch workrate)

Do any Pep scholars know how Pep's squads fair with injury come the New Year as a result of this?

Has he brought his own medical staff?

I wonder how all his methods etc will fit in with no christmas break, this must be a major consideration for him.

Can be said that he had a poor injury record with Bayern, but it was mainly to do with other teams kicking his players around because they just can't cope with Pep's tactics, as opposed to training injuries.

He had a fantastic injury record at Barca with more games and a shorter Christmas break and an awful one at Bayern with a lighter schedule and longer break, so make of that what you will. There were rumours of rows with the Bayern team over their use of an 'unconventional' doctor iirc.

Imo it comes down to the medical team more than training records, Mancini would have had the most physically intense training sessions of any modern City manager and we had a fantastic injury record under him until he changed the doctor over a row.

Guardiola won't be as intense as Mancini was physically in training, he'll be doing more work with the ball as opposed to doing hill sprints with weight jackets.

how many training ground injuries dos we have during pellegrini's tenure and you can't really envisage his training being that intense?

Wonder whatever happened to that "hill" they had at Carrington ?

Someone burnt their lips on a joint once and I know someone had sore thumbs from playing Fifa on the Xbox.

Nasri's hamstring disagrees.

How many injuries have we had since his arrival that have occurred during training? I know Silva has picked up a slight thigh strain but has there been any others?

Imo, you only have to look at the way City are playing & the workrate of our centre mids, to know it can't be sustained, especially with people kicking them all the time.

So either Pep rests & rotates, or he does a Manuel & they're all fucked by Christmas.

Imo, he will rest & rotate, but because of the start, imo he should be doing it now & we are entering into the danger area where Pellegrini fucked up last season, particularly KDB.

Delph and Sagna seemingly. Sagna picked up a knock though so could have been during a game.
