Time for Reds to go the distance

COMETH the hour, gone are the Reds.

Adelaide United is a great side until the 60th minute mark this season.

If games were just an hour old Adelaide would have had five wins and an extra draw - 19 points - instead of six points in nine matches this season. Adelaide has dropped vital points because of its inability to keep the opposition from scoring after the 60th minute including Friday's 2-1 loss to Brisbane Roar at Coopers Stadium.

But any mention of Adelaide not being fit enough to compete with their A-League counterparts at the business end of matches have been dispelled by club officials.

Adelaide coach Josep Gombau has dismissed the claims repeatedly and so have some of his players. But world famous sports physiologist Martin Buchheit believes some football clubs can be nonchalant when it comes to fitness.

Buchheit has worked with the French national football team and super club Paris Saint-Germain.

Buchheit - head of Aspire Football Performance and Science Department at the Academy for Sports Excellence in Qatar - was in Adelaide a fortnight ago helping to create a fitness plan for the Crows with Nick Poulos, the AFL club's physical performance manager.

"In football you always have players who are not as fit but are skilled enough to get by,'' Buchheit said. "There are some positions that don't require much running at all and defenders can cut corners and still do their jobs.

"They don't have to do as much running, as much sprinting, so players can be part of a top team with an average level of fitness.

"Of course you have to have a minimum base fitness.

"The professional football now is to make sure everyone is fresh enough to play but make sure they have the minimum range that's OK, and as long as they avoid injuries that's OK too."

Roar, arguably the A-League's fittest side, has been the best exponents of scoring goals - seven this season - after the hour while Adelaide is the leading side to score goals (3) inside the first 15 minutes.
