Christian Ilzer is an emotional coach. So, it's not unusual to see the Austrian from Hoffenheim making curious statements, but now he's gone a step further.

According to "Sport Bild", the coach prepared for the match against Freiburg last December with a motivational speech that probably no player will forget.

According to the aforementioned medium, Ilzer dressed up as a chef, with his hat and apron, and prepared an imaginary magical potion to which he added chili peppers, "the necessary spice" that his team in trouble was lacking. But the best was yet to come.

Ilzer asked his professionals to show "strength like men" and emphasized this demand with a sex toy he had brought with him. "You have to be as tough as this sex toy," he told his boys.

Hoffenheim has not wanted to make statements about this to "Sport Bild"

But does the sex toy work?

Meanwhile, the long-term effects of such a curious technique are debatable. Hoffenheim is still immersed in the relegation battle and has only won four of the seventeen official matches it has played under Ilzer's direction.
