The situation
New training day for Real Madrid in Valdebebas. The Pintus method gives white footballers no respite and today they had to exercise with a surprise guest: the hypoxia mask. During the morning of Friday, they have been able to see the merengue players running continuously on the grass with said instrument. The goal is to be ready for the match on August 10 against Eintracht in the European Super Cup final. Four days before Madrid travels to the United States on its North American tour, the Pintus Whip has surprised everyone with the hypoxia mask, a formula that it already used last season and that achieved excellent results. But what is this mask really for? The objective is to try to simulate the effects of training at a high altitude by restricting the entry and exit of air during cardiovascular exercises. This method, which has been exhaustively studied by the general, was key to reaching the end of last season with the gas tank full: no one in the five major leagues has scored more goals than Madrid (23 goals, for the 22 from City and 21 from Liverpool) in the last 15 minutes of the match. He achieved the triplet (League, Champions and Super Cup) based on epic comebacks and with an enviable physical condition. Pintus has not only managed to improve the team physically, but has buried the ghosts of the 60 injuries of the 2020-21 season.
The details
For this new course the goal has grown: they want to achieve the six competitions that they will play throughout the year (League, Champions, Copa del Rey, European Super Cup, Spanish Super Cup and Club World Cup). With his mind set on Eintracht (August 10), his first stop will be the tour of North America: Barça (July 24), America (July 27) and Juventus (July 31).
