This week Chelsea men’s team officially began their pre-season, with clips of new head coach Enzo Maresca putting the plaers through their paces having circulated online.
As is tradition among clubs, pre-season tends to feature the dreaded bleep test to help assess a players’ general fitness
The test requires players to run 20 meters back and forth across a marked track keeping time with beeps.
Every minute or so, the time between beeps gets shorter, which forces participants to run faster.
If a player fails to reach their marker in time, they are cautioned, with a second caution ending the test for that individual
Meanwhile, Malo Gusto wonned the fittest player and given a round of applause’ after winning the dreaded bleep test.
He (Malo Gusto) is a Very wonderful player, we’re looking forward for next season and we open door for more energy and experience in the team…
When you join a club you try to analyse what the club and team needs to improve and do the right things,” Maresca added….
The French full-back Malo Gusto was the last person standing for Chelsea as the squad underwent the gruelling fitness assessment.
Gusto was widely applauded by his teammates and coaches for the accomplishment.
