Over the years the game of football has evolved. Gone are the days of big, burly centre halves who scythe down attackers at will. They have been replaced with the silky samba skills of Brazil and nippy wingers who zip in behind defenders like they’re not even there. Stamina and fitness have become key attributes for the modern day professional footballer. Team baths have been replaced by ice baths, and pints down the pub with isotonic drinks and warm downs. The introduction of sports science to the modern game has revolutionised the way clubs are run and how players conduct themselves.Whilst they occasionally let their hair down and attend lavish parties, the majority of footballers look after their mind and body off the pitch in order to achieve peak physical performance on it. A modern day player needs to often play two games in one week, and when you’re covering 12km every game that is no mean feat, especially towards the latter part of the season. With the increased money in the game, the fans demand more and it’s up to the players to deliver through hard work and determination. If you’re not up for running 12km every weekend however, how about you do some of it playing the latest FIFA game from EA Sports? We’re giving away one copy of FIFA 14 thanks to Ladbrokes, who have just launched their Endurance challenge for September, which gives players the opportunity to build up points through their cash games and tournaments, qualifying for a cash reward and a pending bonus. For a chance to win your very own copy of FIFA 14…
We’ll pick a winner by Monday (30th) and announce the winner on the same day.
