Instead of spending his holiday on the beach, Arsenal’s
Abou Diaby is working on his fitness with famous French personal
trainer Renaud Longuevre.
The Gunners midfielder has opted against resting this summer, as
he wants to gain muscle power and reach the next level, Longuevre
has revealed.
As a consequence, the France international, who has been widely
compared to Patrick Vieira, will practice with the track and field
trainer for four weeks.
“When I feel that a sportsman is ready to give it all in order
to reach a stage, it suits me,” Longuevre told Les Dessous du
Sport.
“He is motivated and wants to reach the next stage on the
physical level.”
He added: “The English league is very demanding; as a
consequence his objective is to improve physically in order to be
stronger and more resistant.
“He wants to be stronger in challenges. That is why he needs
more muscle power.”
