It’s Wednesday morning and the team is going through the paces, working a drill to build up out of the back. Fire defender Arne Friedrich has just played a ball to right back Jalil Anibaba and immediately hits the turf.
He’s not injured, rather he’s begun doing a furious set of 30 crunches on the field in the interim time while the ball continues to move forward.
Less than a minute later he’s back up on his feet, receiving a square pass from Austin Berry before launching a more ambitious ball to Gonzalo Segares on the left. As soon as the Costa Rican international receives it, Friedrich is back on the ground, this time on his stomach, doing some sort of reverse crunch.
