Defender Liam Rosenior has said that the Brighton & Hove Albion players will benefit from having spent a training camp in Portugal during the international break.
Brighton currently sit in 12th place in the Premier League table, but back-to-back defeats to Everton and Manchester United in the top flight and FA Cup respectively have halted the club's momentum.
However, Rosenior feels that a break away from England has come at the right time as the Seagulls look to avoid a relegation scrap during the closing weeks of the campaign.
The 33-year-old told the club's official website: "We did something similar last year and then went on an incredible run after that - we won five games in a row. When you have good relationships between individuals in the group, it makes you work harder for each other on the pitch.
"It's a different environment when you're out together. You spend more quality time with each other and we managed to have a few team meals together and bonded really well.
"It was great for the newer players as well, the ones who came in January, because they got to know the squad even better and it creates the togetherness that you need to be successful."
Brighton are next in action when they host Leicester City at the Amex Stadium at the end of March.
