Training

Popped down to Llandarcy today with my daughter to watch the lads at work for the first time this season. Not as good as it used to be because they have attached a fine gauge green mesh to the chain link fencing, which makes it almost impossible to see through.

The gate was open, though, so we stood in the entrance and watched. The only trouble is the players were at the far end and I needed binoculars to clearly identify individuals. I could see the plays quite clearly however and the accent seemed to be on five a sides, moving the ball quickly with shots at goal fairly raining in. It seems to me that Laudrup is looking to improve the general finishing ability of the squad because there were far more shots than usual in this type of training module. It was all high intensity stuff and Laudrup was on pitch side directing operations.

I couldn't identify him at first but Huw Jenkins was standing nearby busy on his phone. When he had finished, I said hello and he pointed ML out to me when I asked. We chatted a bit about Landore and Fairwood and a few other things including the "revolt" but I assumed he wouldn't want to go into detail about it, so I didn't press him.

All in all, I enjoyed it and it was good to see the players working hard with a lot of enthusiasm. Oh, and on a side note, I spotted a beautiful red Ferrari in the car park with Spanish plates. Don't know the owner but I'm guessing it could be Pablo's wheels although, equally, it could belong to any of the other Spanish lads. Hard life isn't it? Getting paid to play football and rocking around in a Ferrari when you're not.

 

thanks for the report Ivor, nice to know they were working hard and getting on. hope we get to see the fruits of this shooting practice on saturday

I cant believe they are making Laudrup play on his own... he must really have upset them I feel a caption comp coming on

 

Nah, they were playing win the ball, Laudrup v The Rest. He won 17-0!

 

i think the ferarri is michu seen it a few months ago down the stadium **** myself when i walked out of the club shop and it roared past

 

Ivor, you should have gone to the other side of the pitch like i did today, good view ,Laudrup best payer to day, to many pepole beeping there horns and waving to me.It then dawned on me that you can be seen , and i better get back to work

 

smelters, I did think about doing that but I got chatting to Huw and ran out of time as I had to get to Clydach market by noon, which is when a lot of the traders pack up.

What did you think of the training? Did you get the same impression that I did regarding shooting etc?

 

Ivor, it looked like pass,shoot,pass,shoot to me? but i was only passing by

 

The Ferrari is chicos seen him driving and outside the stadium with it

 

Would the owner of the red ferrari parked outside the liberty please form an orderly queue...

 

I like De Guzmans White SLS Merc, the gullwing doors are brilliant.

 

So you had a day off work then ?

 

I can confirm that Va Va Vorm is indeed correct, and that the Ferrari is indeed Chico's, I would also like to confirm that he is also a Kung fu fighter!.........

 

LOL I think he has cheated though by telling them they have to keep one knee on the ground!!
