Swedish national team football players Gustaf Lagerbielke, Benjamin Nygren, and Noel Törnqvist have developed an unusual bonding routine during training camps, according to reports. The trio reportedly spends evenings on the beach, studying the night sky and engaging in philosophical discussions about life's big questions.
According to SVT Sport, the players began this routine during a previous training camp and now regularly go down to the beach to discuss diverse topics ranging from conspiracy theories to whether aliens exist. Lagerbielke told the broadcaster that they are "very bad at astrology" which led them to talk about how far away stars are and other cosmic questions.

The players' discussions reportedly cover a wide range of subjects, including the assassination of former Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme and whether the moon landing was faked. Lagerbielke humorously noted that teammate Noel Törnqvist is "close to solving the Palme murder."
In a lighter moment, the players reportedly considered going on a turtle hunt after seeing a warning sign about turtles in the area. The trio's beachside philosophical sessions have become a regular part of their training camp routine, providing a unique way for the teammates to bond off the field.
