Dutch International Fighting Tough For Fitness Using Kick Boxing

It is no longer anything to be discussed or argued that footballis played with the ball on the ground or when it is in the air of which players have to contest with their heads or sometimes with legs if the ball is not high enough.

It is rather strange that Galatasaray Holland international Wesley Sneijder is taking kick boxing training for the World Cup.

There have been reported cases of players kicking each other in a football game but they were not reported to enrol for kick boxing.

Well, Sneijder's kick boxing training is not to kick the players on the pitch but the ball itself.

The Galatasaray midfielder is only taking kick boxing training to get fit for the World Cup. The player is currently fighting to fitness to get ready for the World Cup and his club and country gave permission that he train with the kick boxing trainer in Istanbul Turkey where he plays his club football.

regarding the training, the Dutchman said ‘I got back to my optimal weight, like when I was 22.

''In terms of footwork and agility, I am back to my old level.

''It was explosive training.

''It has made me more explosive over the first few metres. I feel that I have benefited from it.''

Sneijder has been training with kick boxing trainer Gokhan Saki in Turkey.

Coach Louis Van Gaal would surely be glad to have the ex-captain fully fit for the team as they look towards another excellent outing in Brazil like they had four years ago in South Africa
