The modern football little or nothing to do with a few years ago. Leaving aside the media impact that, we will focus on the great change that has experienced from the point of view training a professional club. Seeing a few pictures and we realize that things have changed a lot.
How have football training evolved??

As you can be seen in all these pictures and many others of the time, in those days almost military techniques were used. chairs, wheels, banquillos… cualquier cosa era válida para efectuar un determinado ejercicio, nothing to do with the techniques prevailing today with all sorts of technological advances with the use of heart rate monitors, pedometers and so on.
