At 37 years old, the Croatian winger is not just a squad player for PSV Eindhoven; he is a central figure in their campaign. His importance was underscored during the recent winter transfer window, when the Dutch club had to actively resist approaches from Italian giants Internazionale, a team Perisic knows intimately from his past.\n\nThe story of Perisic's influence at PSV is woven into the fabric of their training ground, De Herdgang. A specific room, often used for various purposes including naps and language lessons, holds a piece of equipment that speaks volumes about his dedication. Inside sits a mysterious oxygen apparatus, used exclusively by the veteran Croatian international.\n\nAccording to PSV's sport scientist Ruud van Elk, Perisic is the sole user of this device. He regularly uses an oxygen mask to simulate high-altitude conditions, a form of mini-altitude training. This meticulous approach to physical conditioning is a hallmark of a player who has spent two decades at the pinnacle of European football, understanding precisely what is demanded at the highest level.\n\nPerisic's career is a tapestry of elite experience. He has represented some of Europe's most storied clubs, including Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan, and Bayern Munich, winning league titles and the Champions League. His tactical intelligence and physical robustness have allowed him to remain relevant long after many of his peers have retired. For PSV, acquiring a player of this caliber and mindset was a significant coup.\n\nThe fact that Inter Milan came calling in January highlights his enduring quality. The Nerazzurri, a club where Perisic enjoyed great success, clearly believed he could still contribute to their Serie A ambitions. PSV's decision to retain him, however, signals their own ambitions. They view Perisic not as a short-term stopgap, but as a vital component in their pursuit of the Eredivisie title.\n\nHis role transcends simple statistics. While his goals and assists are valuable, his leadership and professionalism set a standard for the entire squad. Younger players at the club witness firsthand the daily regimen of a seasoned professional, from his trademark tight-fitting thermal shirts that highlight his athletic physique to his dedicated, almost scientific, training routines.\n\nThe oxygen apparatus is a perfect metaphor for Perisic's career: a constant effort to gain an edge, to push beyond natural limits. It represents the unseen work that allows him to compete with players half his age. This dedication ensures he remains a dual threat: a consummate team player who understands collective structure, yet an individualist capable of deciding matches with a moment of quality.\n\nFor the Eredivisie, Perisic's presence elevates the competition. He brings a wealth of Champions League and international tournament experience that is rare in the Dutch league. His performances serve as a benchmark, challenging both teammates and opponents to raise their own standards.\n\nAs the season progresses, the mystery of Ivan Perisic is not about his ability—that is well established. The enigma lies in his relentless pursuit of excellence at an age when most have long since hung up their boots. His use of altitude simulation is just one visible thread in the complex tapestry of his longevity.\n\nPSV's ability to keep him from Inter's grasp may prove to be one of the most important pieces of business in their title challenge. He is more than a player; he is a living lesson in professionalism, a key to unlocking defenses, and a symbol of the winning mentality the club seeks to embody.\n\nBased on reporting from Voetbal International.","news","At 37, Ivan Perisic remains a key player for PSV, using unique training methods like altitude simulation.
