In his first match at the City Ground against Bournemouth, the Portuguese manager looks to snap a 13-game losing streak.
One of Nuno’s core convictions is that instead of leaving the field right away
after training, his players ought to have lunch together and stay until the afternoon.
We have a larger lounge area at the training ground, which enables the
players to spend more time and share meals together, the player stated. It’s the initial action.
Since most of our communication will be in English, those players who don’t speak the language must proceed with this.
They need to learn English in order to communicate and eat together, though of course I can speak to them in French or Portuguese if needed. You lose a great
chance to get the players involved if you let them leave the training session early and head home.
We have two nutritionists, so they have to justify their job! If you make sure the players eat well, then they can go home.
