pete 2,499 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I was watching a film on Dutch TV about the young German coaches, laptop trainers and tactics.(It was made before the WC?) A programme for Rousseau. It contained a piece about a machine some of the German clubs are investing in. I know Dortmund and Hoffenheim have it already. The Footbonaut. It looks really great fun and fantastic for improving your touch. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 10,489 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 That looks like a superb machine for improving your first-touch, and distribution because you need to take a look around before your receive the pass. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
les186 271 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Me and my pals used to play football with an old tennis ball in the back courts of Glasgow tenements, just as good a way of honing your skills ?. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Portuguese teams have been using this for a while too. I believe (though could be wrong) that they pioneered it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending 2M on that machine (if that is what it costs) might be an easier decision for richer clubs in more lucrative leagues but I'd agree with Les, that there are other much cheaper ways of doing very similar. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The supplier\manufacturer was on the programme I saw and he said the price was far nearer 2mill than 1mill. That is euro's of course. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franc Ergs 1,629 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Considering what we paid for Pena, i'd say this machine is a snip at two mil. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malangsob 1,264 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 My first question is...how could this possibly cost $2M? Are they including the real estate? Cool toy though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
