Absolutely right. Usain Bolt was always pulling his hammy. Whereas marathon runners hardly put any load on their bodies. In fact, when they retire long distance runners are known to have no issues with their joints at all.

Mate, stop embarrassing yourself.
Literally you could as well just repeat "I'm an imbecile" over and over. Would get the same results.

I mean... seriously... comparing sprinting in perfect conditions on perfectly designed hard surface with everyone FORCED to stay in their line. Vs sprinting on natural grass with opposite team challenging you. You seriously compare those things?

Then you don't appear to make difference between joints and muscles? Remarkable.

While you are already exposing us to your unlimited (near Godly) wisdom. Do you perhaps also suggest that marathon running is all about always running at your highest possible tempo at any given moment? Or could there be... you know.. something like actually managing the effort, pacing yourself and so on? :sonhmm:
 
There is always option to rotate. It is managers job to balance everything. When playing time gets absurd, you can pick lesser player in some moments to give superior player rest. But you obviously cannot grasp difference between short term success and long term success.

I don't fully get what you mean by 2nd chapter.

Not surprised.

I stated most basic of logics - if we restart game faster, there is less time to recover for players. You do follow that logic, right? And now if there is less time to recover, it means higher working load.

How you measuring that working load? With sprints again? or with KMs ran?

And higher working load tires players. Still on board I hope? Now final step is - more tired the player is, more likely some injuries become. Also, conveniently we face the worst injury crises in the league. So the logic is there.

If by logic you mean massive assumptions based on bang average analysis without most of the important information, then yes I see your logic.
 
Its funny to see how every single injury in other clubs are quickly used by you for making fun from people that have rightfully serious doubts in Ange management. Keep going, maybe some day it will prove your point :)

So far it only proves to me again that discussion with you re: injuries is completely pointless.

PS: dont forget to post again link to that article Ange and injuries from his Celtic days.

I'm making fun of people who say things that I think are funny. That's how this site works no?

if you don't like people making fun of other people, this might be the wrong forum tbf.

It's the training, no it's the rotation, no wait it's not that, it's the sprints and the tactics.

Is that what I need to say to avoid this embarrassment you are talking about?
 
there's short sprints and there's desperation 60 yard sprints because you're woefully out of position. i don't even know why i respond to you guys. you're willfully deluded trolls
Ange Bhoys have a certain amount Magical thinking that goes along with being an Ange Believer. Any evidence brought to you can either been negated by injuries or a snap shot of the season. They even ignore him calling the current players who are fit shit because they have played as hard as they can and not won in the league in months. That all players have been injured for 2 1/2 months. No other manager could have done better. Ignore all opposition injuries.
 
yes it does

do you run? have you ever played sports? sprinting is more strenuous and unstable. you absolutely get injured more sprinting full out, especially when you're desperately chasing someone down.

I run/ran a lot of long distance. I can run almost indefinitely at a steady pace.
If I try to sprint I fall apart in seconds.
If I try to change direction suddenly

I think we are like 500 sprints ahead of the team in second place or something. It’s not that they are being asked to run, it’s how much and for the sake of it.
It's more sprints over longer distances from more players.
It's bonkers.
You expect a few pacy players to put in sprints. But we're expecting the whole team to either sprint towards an oppo player with the ball, or anyone with the ball to sprints forward with it.
It's dumb. The thing no one seems to have mentioned though, is that we do all those additional sprints in short bursts during games.
Have you not noticed we go from scoring 4 goals in 20 minutes to looking utterly neutral for the next half hour or more?
So they're not even spreading their horrendous workload out over 90 minutes.
