This time of year, you can always see it play out on the sidelines.
minute of an English Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Leicester City a couple years ago, a quietly profound scene unfolded: Just after sunset, Palace’s goalkeeper, Vicente Guaita, held onto the ball and stopped play. Players on both teams, Leicester’s Wesley Fofana and Palace’s Cheikhou Kouyate, scurried to their team benches to eat dates and gulp water and energy gels. Then they returned to the game without a word.
The change is major. But in the past, players had to get more creative. During a World Cup friendly against Portugal in 2018, Tunisian goalkeeper Mouez Hassan collapsed to the ground and faked an injury right at sunset. While the team’s medical trainers examined him, his teammates rushed to the bench for dates and water. Just six minutes after, an energized Tunisia side scored an equalizer and held Cristiano Ronaldo and his team to a draw. He did it again the next game.
