Stoke City players have been told to improve their fitness as head coach Narcis Pelach made strong claims about the team’s physical condition. Pelach noted that the team’s fitness levels have been “through the roof” in comparison to previous standards.
Reflecting on his career and past injuries, Pelach shared: “I have suffered a load of injuries over the years, and I think it has impacted the way I move. My body had to adapt to certain things. Before, I never really got injured. I was still pretty young and could play all day, every day.”
He added: “After the injuries, it probably had a bit of an impact, especially with the metal in my leg, which can affect the body. I wish those injuries had never happened, but I’m proud of what I’ve done in my career. To come back and still play at a high level, I’m proud of that.”
