NFL | Super Bowl: Sebastian Vollmer warns Bengals and Rams

Ex-NFL player Sebastian Vollmer warns in front of the sows of a prolonged half-time break in the Super Bowl.

"What many teams fail is that you have to train the halftime," said Vollmer the message portal "Watson".

The break in the NFL final between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday (Kickoff: Monday / 00: 30 Mez-Time) is almost twice as long as in ordinary plays.

Depending on the game of the game one can not stand as a player between 45 minutes and an hour on the field, estimated Vollmer. The biggest problem was to "raise the body mentally and physically again," he explained. In preparation for the extended break came to his old team, the New England Patriots, after one and a half hours training a whistle. "Then we had to sit down for an hour and do nothing, except for drinking and keeping us warm." This had been the key advantage to turn the 3: 28 half-time residue in the final against the Atlanta Falcons in 2016.

During his time at the Patriots between 2009 and 2016, the 37-year-old was three times in Super Bowl. Twice he went from the square as a winner. That the La Rams are under pressure before the game in the home stadium, he does not believe. "As soon as you stand on the square, everything does not matter. You make what you have been doing and loved since the age of child, sometimes you do not notice that you are in Super Bowl."
