The morning after their friendly, Philadelphia Union returned to the pitch at Marbella Football Center for a two-part recovery session. The group kept their renewed competitive spirits alive with soccer tennis, which coincidentally is known to have been invented by none other than Slavia Prague in 1922 as a method of keeping their ball skills sharp.
Each team consisted of three players, but it was a young trio in David Vazquez, Neil Pierre, and Eddy Davis III who came out on top, defeating the Sullivan brothers and Franke Westfield, fellow Philadelphia Union Academy products, in the final volley.
Afterwards, the performance staff led the group in a run before an afternoon of more head-to-head activities — this time, on the racetrack.
In his introductory Q&A in early January, Carnell told team media staff that he runs on 'caffeine and octane'. That rang true when he got behind the wheel himself during the team trip to Kart&Fun in Estepona.
