The ‘Pintus method’ works
The ‘Pintus method’ works. It shows that the team is not only going to reach the proclamation of the 2022-23 season full of gasoline; but also without exploding any engine . And it’s not easy. Because the demand of the physical trainer, Ancelotti’s right-hand man, is enormous , something that Modric himself recognized, with a humorous wink, after a session in Los Angeles: “ We are running a lot with Pintus, a lot, and it is very hard, the TRUE. But in the end it is important to be well for the rest of the season”. Time will tell how the team will be in January, but today, a few days before the first title of the season is played, the European Super Cup (August 10, 9:00 p.m.), the Valdebebas infirmary is deserted. Throughout the summer there has only been one small scare: Carvajal. The winger suffered a spectacular ankle sprain on July 22, which made him leave the UCLA training camp without being able to put his foot down; at that moment, the scene was drawn worryingly. But the tests determined that it was just that, a sprain . The side rested and was able to return to play the last friendly, against Juventus. The ankles have brought Madrid down the path of bitterness in recent years: Ceballos , in those Olympic Games in Tokyo or Hazard, are some examples of soccer players who, by forcing, only worsened their situations. Carvajal put his focus on the Super Cup and will arrive without problems. In fact, he has been training normally all week.
two feints
The rest of the team has worked this month without any problems. Mendy feigned with it, also in the United States, claiming some discomfort in the area where she usually wears a bandage, as a result of pain that is already chronic. But it only lasted a day. Hazard accused an overload and, like the Frenchman, returned without missing a single session. Everyone continues to submit to the demands of Pintus, who is finishing his last training sessions with a lot of physical work: as August 10 approaches, there will begin to be more ball and less sprints . Last Thursday he surprised with some series to close the session and on Friday, without time for breath, at the beginning of training he decreed explosiveness and power exercises. the italian trainer he has everything under control. Glimpse their success: see the players at 200% and without injuries.
