Erasmus Questions Lack of Night Training Sessions
Concerns have emerged regarding night training sessions as teams prepare for important matches. The necessity for effective training under lights is critical in catering to players’ performance levels during evening games.
Lack of Night Training Sessions for Erasmus
Currently, the Erasmus team is restricted to training during the day, specifically from 2 PM to 5 PM. This schedule prevents them from acclimatizing to conditions they will face during evening competitions.
Comparison with India and Canada
In contrast, India has capitalized on training during the prime hours of 6 PM to 9 PM. Their decision to train at these times allowed them to simulate conditions similar to those expected during evening matches.
- India’s training dates: February 10 and 11.
- Timing: 6 PM to 9 PM.
Interestingly, Canada was also training at the same time as India on February 11. Their upcoming match is set for February 13, where they face the UAE at 3 PM in the national capital.
Upcoming Matches
| Team | Match Date | Opponent | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| India | February 10 & 11 | N/A | 6 PM – 9 PM |
| Canada | February 13 | UAE | 3 PM |
The variance in training schedules highlights the importance of night training sessions for optimal performance. As teams gear up for crucial fixtures, the lack of preparation under artificial lighting could affect their play. Proper scheduling may enhance their adaptability for evening matches.
