This might catch on.

The rich lads from the south of France are putting their goalkeepers through their paces with a very innovative method of coaching. They may have bags of money, but as this video shows, they’ve got a few clever ideas too when it comes to training, using crowd control barriers to good effect.

It could be argued that the crowd control barriers are not needed for crowd control on account of Monaco not being able to attract much of a crowd, but nevertheless, this is pretty cool…

There’ll be steel barriers going missing all over the country if this training method becomes popular.
