You can only hope that Ebereechi Eze and his teammates from England did not expect an easy few days in Spain after a tiring season.
Although it is only Andorra in a world cup qualification in Barcelona on Saturday, Thomas Tuchel has brought his players for the season through an unusual but unbearable fitness test while preparing for the baking temperatures at next year's World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico.
Although the weather was 26 ° C in Girona yesterday, it was much hotter in the tent where Tuchel let his players take a powerful bicycle exercise.
And it came after they had swallowed a biometric tablet to enable the FA Medies to get an accurate reading of how the players deal with extreme stress.
For Eze, his parties must have seemed a long time ago after winning the FA Cup final with Crystal Palace.
The Eagles Forward, 26, said: “After taking those tablets you had to be on the bike for about 45 minutes and you just had to continue.
“They have checked your heart rate and they have checked your actual body temperature.
“It was quite difficult to do and 45 minutes is on a bike for a long time.
“But it was something that was absolutely useful and it gave a little insight into myself and how I deal with those situations, which was interesting.
“It was the first time I did something like that.”
Chelsea Vooruit Cole Palmer, 23, added: “It was tough. It was 36C in the tents and we had to reach a certain Watt or something on a bike and maintain it.”
Ivan Toney knows everything about heat while playing in Saudi Arabia for Al-Ahli.
The striker, 29, said: “You can't go crazy more than 90 minutes.
“It must be tactical if you make the runs and things like this change your game a bit – but it's good.
“It's different, but I get used to it now.
“You have to change your game a little and maybe you have to lean back a little or keep the ball a little.”
The team certainly enjoyed this luxury golf resort outside of Girona since they arrived, after watching the F1 in Barcelona on Sunday.
The Camiral Golf and Wellness Center will detect the Ryder Cup in 2031.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola played golf here a few days ago at an event with Gianfranco Zola, while the football center was Girona's training field and Brighton and City stayed here in the preseason.
England will stay on site until tomorrow afternoon before he goes to Barcelona to prepare for the game in the Espanyol stadium.
The Tuchel team then plays Senegal on Tuesday in a friendly at the city in Nottingham.
Palace Star Eze certainly enjoys life with England. Scoring his first goal, for his tenth performance in the 3-0 win over Latvia in March, was clearly a big problem.
He said: “Yes, a special moment for me. I scored my first goal and that brought more confidence.
“I would say it followed the rest of the season, which was good for me and for Palace.”
When you mention that historic cup final victory for Palace against Manchester City, Eze simply cannot stop smiling.
He said: “For me, the most special thing is when you speak with fans and you see the faces of the fans and you understand what it really means to them.
“Of course, winning is important as a player – and being part of the first team that does for Palace is absolutely special.
“But it is only if you speak with fans and you see what it means for them … That is when you really understand how great it is.”
But will he still be in Palace next season? Spurs are one of the many clubs that are interested in him.
Asked if he is thinking of his future, Eze did not give much away.
He said: “At the moment, not so much.
“I feel that I am here at the camp with England and I try to work with England here at the camp.
“Those things will take care of themselves.”
