These days the Euro Cup is making a splash in the football world. Now the final match is to be played between Spain and England. Football lovers around the world are waiting to watch this match. There are many strange things related to sports, which many people do not know about. However, sports lovers claim that they know everything about their favorite sports. Today we have brought a secret related to football (Why footballers got holes in their socks), which even those who like football may not know about. Recently in England’s match, you must have noticed that the players’ socks were torn. This is not the first time, even before this players have been wearing socks with holes. Do you know the reason for this?
If you think that this is just a design, there is no big reason behind it, then you are wrong. Many times players (England footballers cut holes in socks) make holes in their socks themselves. No matter how torn socks look on the field, players get a lot of convenience from such socks. According to the report of Mirror website, physiotherapist Nikki De Leona has answered this.

This trick is amazing for players
Talking to BBC, Nikki said that the socks used by footballers are designed in such a way that they are very tight and keep the leg muscles warm while covering them. Along with this, these socks also help the shin pads to stay in their place. However, these socks are sometimes so tight that they restrict the movement of the players. The players themselves make these holes in their socks so that the blood flow to their leg muscles increases. Due to the holes, the socks can expand more.
Players are already adopting this trick
Nikki said that players feel that by making holes, players do not want to put pressure on their calf muscles, this makes it easier for them to play. He told that this is not a new trick and has been seen many times before the Euro Cup. In this way, players do not get cramps in their legs.
