Article about Qatars trip Qatar beneftis already showing -Roberto Martinez is pleased with what has already been achieved from Everton’s trip to Qatar. The first-team squad are approaching the middle of their six-day training camp, having flown out to the Gulf on Wednesday. Temperatures in Doha have reached the mid-twenties, with nearly 12 hours of sunlight a day. The welcome from the people in Qatar has been phenomenal and the facilities are terrific at the Aspire Academy,” Martinez said on Friday from the team’s base. We have had a few Everton fans come to the sessions and it has given us a feeling of home. We are working in the best facilities you can imagine and we can stay outside for hours because the weather is always what you want it to be. We are spending more time together. The benefits are very clear.” Martinez also revealed how the squad’s training in Qatar has been a mix of both high-intensity and tactical based sessions. The players who are on their way back from injury have also been able to work on their individual recovery programmes in a team environment. The Everton manager added: It is important now that as we are getting into the key months of the season, especially with our Europa League tie and the games coming up, we are working hard. Certain groups in the squad will need more specific work but our work has been more high intensity. We are feeling the benefits of being out there because the sessions give longer preparation for the players. It is like a pre-season within a season and we have got a lot of high intensity into our work but we are not treating all players in the same way. Certain players are working more than others because of the amount of games they have played this season. The facilities here are second to none and they have really helped towards our work.
