In the narrow definition, there is actually only one magic triangle in soccer: Elber — Bobic — Balakov.
Even though it is a bit difficult to understand these days, from 1995 to 1997, the offensive forces of VfB Stuttgart frightened the entire Bundesliga. For younger readers: something like MNS at FC Barcelona.
If you ignore these components, there will probably be no successors for the above mentioned men in soccer Germany. We'll explain to you why recovery and regeneration in soccer are not just an add-on, but should be an integral part of every training routine. Especially during preparation.
“If you're fully involved now, you'll get tomorrow off” — every soccer player knows this coaching grip on the motivational bag of every preparation, especially during preparation.
However, regeneration is much more than getting a day off training after a heavy load and just putting your legs up.
By light physical activity Regenerative processes can be significantly stimulated. This is essential, especially during the training-intensive preparation period or even during the season due to weather-related English weeks. A regenerative, relaxed run is just as recommended as light stability exercises, swimming, cycling or an extended mobility unit.
The fact is that preparation phases are usually quite short and, especially at amateur level, not all players are always available to the coaching team at the same time. This means that it is not easy for coaches to raise all players to a common, higher level at the same time during preparation.
Intensive stress as part of training and the deferral of regeneration to the players are often the result. Which would also be no problem if the players would implement this.
Ideally, it goes seamlessly into regeneration after exercise. Of course, this includes running out after a session, active-dynamic stretching, contrast showers, diet suitable for athletes and a balanced dose of sleep.
And even active regeneration the next day. Of course, all of this is not exactly a little required of an amateur athlete. But if you want to play soccer more successfully, you can't continue to laze around, but must integrate light, regenerative measures into your training-free day. This is often not so much a temporal problem as a discipline problem.

When coaches and the athlete himself pay too little attention to the state of recovery, a fatal domino effect often follows. Inadequate regeneration — reduced training effectiveness — reduced performance — increased risk of injury. Muscle injuries in particular are sad by-products of too little regeneration. But serious ligament problems in the ankle and knee joints can also very often be attributed to too much stress combined with too little recovery.
In addition to adequate recovery, the topics of sport-specific stress and nutrition are also essential elements of the magic triangle. If you were to remove one of these pillars, for example, the athlete, like VfB Stuttgart, when FC Bayern Munich snatched Giovanne Elber away, you simply won't get close to this offensive level anymore.
