Maxi Araújo and Zalazar turn to 'secret weapon' before Sporting | OneFootball

In a football world increasingly focused on player recovery, one of the latest trends appears to be special glasses, in this case with yellow lenses, designed to boost recovery between matches and even training sessions. Apparently, Maxi Araújo and Rodrigo Zalazar have embraced the trend and surprised the local press.

This Thursday, the South American side’s delegation landed in India, and it immediately stood out that players such as the Sporting duo, as well as Darwin Núñez, Ronald Araújo, Santiago Mele, Fiermarín and Facundo Bernal, were wearing this accessory.

As for the glasses, it is known that yellow lenses help reduce eye strain and aid players’ physical recovery after training. According to scientific evidence, the use of these glasses relieves muscle fatigue and helps increase melatonin production.

It is worth noting that, at the Alvalade club, Maxi Araújo is already an open fan of this trend. In fact, when the green and whites travelled to face Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League, Maxi Araújo even joked that if they won the match, he would hand out similar glasses to his teammates. As it happened, Sporting ended up winning the game 3-2.

During this international break, the two green and white players remain focused on Uruguay’s commitments. Already in Calcutta, Diego Forlán’s side now have their sights set on a clash with the India national team next Tuesday, October 6. This will be the South Americans’ final friendly of the break, before Maxi and Zalazar - who may not be the only ones at risk for the match - race back to join Sporting, who will travel to Braga for another league fixture on October 9 at 8:15 pm.
