Secret behind Southampton’s success this season !?

Research reveals that a Saints player has gone down and received treatment between the 60th and 70th minute in 14 of their 24 Premier League matches.

Each time during the brief stoppage in play, stars consume energy gels as they take a quick breather. There is no question about Southampton players feigning injuries to deliberately cause a stoppage in play. These gels are believed to help players’ endurance, with results kicking in around ten minutes after consumption. Which gives them an advantage at the final stages of match. They require this boost of energy after playing an energy-sapping pressing style of football.

Former Wolves physio Phil Hayward told The Athletic: “I’m sure the sports scientists would have recommended it and suggested when it should be done, and Hasenhuttl has given it the green light.”
