The COVID-19 outbreak has led to a worldwide lockdown indefinitely, and the growing uncertainty over the conclusion of the football campaign is leading to frustration and disappointment. The players are currently in isolation at home and Ryan Jack, the Rangers midfield ace, has opened up on the current situation.
The Scotsman believes that the players require at least a couple of weeks to regain sharpness irrespective of the strict diet chart and fitness program set by their respective clubs.
“Ultimately if you’ve been training at home an hour a day you’ll lose that match sharpness and you could pick up something. For me, it’s got to be a minimum of two weeks of training to try to get the sharpness back. Right now you’ve just got to deal with it as you go along.”
The above was revealed by Jack while speaking to Clyde 1 Superscoreboard. He, however, has emphasised on staying fit in order to ‘be ready for when the call comes’.
Why Jack Has Been The Most Eminent Figure At Gerrard’s Rangers
Although he is missing the game as much as everyone else does, the priority remains the safety of millions when dealing with this difficult time. Yet Jack has highlighted on the necessity of staying disciplined in life being a footballer and Rangers can indeed count on the 28-year-old who has been a revelation under Steven Gerrard.
Despite not having the best of starts since joining the Gers on a Bosman move from Aberdeen, the midfield maestro upped his game gradually to become one of the most consistent and dynamic individuals of the Premiership. His versatility helped Gerrard restore stability in the middle of the park and dominate the big games with more possession, composure and work ethics.
Jack is not only confident in featuring as a deep-lying playmaker but also suits in a destructive role or box-to-box as a chief ball carrier from the deep to operate in the advanced areas of the pitch. He has added some goals to his game too while assisting as well beautifully exhibiting his vision, experience as well as game-reading attributes.
The gaffer roped in an array of midfield names since his arrival at Ibrox. Glen Kamara, Steven Davis, Joe Aribo and Scott Arfield – all had their highs and lows, but it was Jack who managed to maintain his consistency and therefore, cement a place in the centre of the pitch. His upsurge earned him an international status and the midfielder has eventually emerged as an irreplaceable figure for both club and the country.
