Southampton FC played hockey on vacation in Switzerland, poorly

With a little less than two weeks between matches, Southampton manager Ronald Koeman took his team to Switzerland for a little rest and relaxation. The trip has also taught his players a valuable lesson: Stick to soccer.

The players tried playing hockey on Thursday and had a heck of a time just trying to stay on their feet, let alone trying to handle the puck.

Despite all the slips and falls, it seems like everyone had a good time.

The players enjoyed a day of skiing in the Alps on Friday, which seemed more successful.

The players had better enjoy their vacation while it lasts. They face a tough test when they come back against Chelsea on March 15.
