Be sure that those who are now playing football in Sparta already know very well with whom they have this honor.
Christian Clarup has the shoulders of a wrestler, a firm handshake and the title of head of physical training on his business card. That’s why you can trust him when he assures before Thursday’s Europa League match: “Rangers are very physically strong, but so are we. There is nothing to fear.’
Even last summer, Sparta could not be so confident. How has she changed?
At first glance, of course, in the fact that we are champions. But there are many more changes inside. When we came with Brian and others back then, it was a little different training here than we were used to. We needed to change the methodology and training system to make everything run exactly the way we need it to.
In football, there are simply requirements that a player must fulfill: follow a lifestyle, sleep well, do not run around bars at night. If someone didn’t fulfill this, I would be uncompromising.
