A Romanian football club shocked its players by organising a pre-season training camp at a monastery.The Cetatea Targu Neamt side is spending 10 days at Neamt monastery, in mountains six miles from the nearest village.They chose the venue partly for financial reasons but also in the hope next season would be better if they trained "close to God".The players are training on the monks' sports field, eating only food cooked at the monastery and living in total silence interrupted only by religious music.Goalkeeper Vlad Condur said: "At first I couldn't believe we were going to have a training camp at the monastery."We were very shocked by the total quietness we found in our rooms. It is something we are not used to but I think it's going to be great for our training."Priest Ion Mihoc said he hoped more clubs would follow their lead."Since they're here maybe the footballers will come visit the church and pray for their health or to have a good championship next season," he said."I hope other teams will follow after they'll realise the advantages of such a physical and spiritual training camp."
