Saints Head Off To Switzerland Wednesday, 4th Mar 2015 13:47 Saints head off to Switzerland to gorge themselves on Toblerone, Alpen and Milka chocolate bars. Saints owner Katharina Liebherr is believed to have booked the team into an Alpine resort after promising them all the chocolate they can eat after beating Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening. But the balls and cones will be left behind and this will be purely about rest relaxation and chocolate ans Ronald Koeman looks to give his players a hard earned break and secondly focus on team bonding and building something that he was unable to do in the summer with so many of his squad arriving since literally the start of August. “I think the break is good now. I think everybody will come back to start the first of the ten games what we have to play now and the break is good. “The best is the result. That is the best. “The rest and the then days what we have to prepare the Chelsea game will be important for us to try to play good football what we used to do and what a little bit was struggling in the last few weeks and that’s all about the confidence of the players.” The team have been kitted out in club Lederhosen for the trip with Sponsors name Veho emblazoned across it. Whilst there Saints players can expect a country that is well known for its neutrality, however that does not mean that they don't have an army although as a lan locked state their navy consists of a few patrol boats on a lake or two mainly engaged in stopping the illegal importation of fake Toblerone from Austria. The army consists of conscripts and all the structure of the Swiss Militia system means that all Army personel are expected to keep all their equipment including weapons at home, a little inconvenient unless the conflict is in their back garden. Switzerland hasnt quite made up its mind on what language it should speak yet, at the moment it has four official languages, German, French, Italian and Romansh although there is a clamour to add a fifth. The Swiss national anthem was adopted in 1972 and is the Deep Purple track Smoke On The Water, each year the surviving line up of the band who made this stirring and emotional track chronicling one of the countries biggest national disasters return to play the song at an emotional festival in Montreax on the Lake Geneva shoreline.
