In the past Champions League final, people once again lamented the metaphysics of Real Madrid, after the Champions League was restructured, they won 9 finals and won 9 times, and never lost in the final. From Zinedine Zidane to Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid were always able to seal the win in the second half of the game.
A miracle is called a miracle because it doesn't happen again and again. In other words, there must be some reason behind Real Madrid's extremely solid Champions League performance.
Whether it is the third consecutive Champions League or the 15th championship in the current team history, behind the Real Madrid players there is always the man who is known as the number one physical coach in football today: Antonio Pintus!
In the past few years, it is difficult for people to accurately describe the style of Real Madrid's football, and it often seems to be five or five against other teams, but it can always lock in the win, so fans use metaphysics to describe this phenomenon.
If you really want to talk about a more distinctive feature, it is that you can't run to death. Real Madrid always have a better physical reserve than their opponents, so they can be superior.
The man behind the training of Real Madrid's top physical fitness in football is Pintus, the physical coach coveted by today's football giants.
Kroos, who announced his retirement at the age of 34, has been in excellent form in this year's Champions League final, the 38-year-old Modric is still in good form, and the 24-year-old Vinicius has been running relentlessly to burst into the opposition defence......
The players played a great game of skill on the pitch and couldn't get away from the great fitness they developed before the game. In July 2016, Italian fitness coach Pintus joined Real Madrid. At the time, many fans didn't know what kind of magic he had.
I only know that he is an old acquaintance of Zidane during the Juventus period. If we look at Pintus' career, we know how extraordinary he is.
Antonio Pintus, born on September 26, 1962 in Turin, Italy, was a judoka and runner, but was considered to be poorly gifted and specialized in his studies, earning a degree in physical activity and exercise science.
In 1986, at the age of 24, Pintus became a physical coach, from the amateur football club Sétimo, to Juventus, Chelsea, Udinese, Monaco, West Ham United, Marseille, Palermo, Sunderland, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and other European giants, with a coaching career of 38 years.
In July 1991, Pintus first entered professional football with Juventus. With Pintus' help, the Bianconeri won the Serie A title in 94-95, 96-97, 97-98 and the Champions League in 95-96.
Among them, from the 95-96 season to the 97-98 season, Juve reached the Champions League final for three consecutive seasons, showing excellent physical fitness. Most people didn't pay attention to the strength and conditioning coach at the time, but he began to make a name for himself in European football, and it turned out that Pintus was behind it.
gradually made a name for himself at Juventus, Pintus has assisted Lippi, Deschamps, Conte, Zidane, Ancelotti and many other football coaches.
Whether it is Deschamps leading Monaco to the Champions League final, Conte leading Inter Milan to win the Serie A title, and then Zidane winning the Champions League three times in a row, Ancelotti won the 15th Champions League in team history, you can see the super physical fitness that Pintus has trained for the players.
If before coming to Real Madrid, Pintus was only admired in the industry. Then after arriving at Real Madrid, he has completely entered the field of vision of fans and can be called the No. 1 physical trainer in world football.
As a veteran strength and conditioning coach, the 61-year-old Pintus has always led by example, running 9 kilometers along the streets of Madrid and Real Madrid's training base. Super physical fitness, so that the stars are convinced to train according to the plan.
One of the more iconic is that players train with oxygen barrier masks that simulate high-altitude conditions to improve performance through a good blood response, which allows players to exercise their respiratory muscles.
As early as 20 years ago when he was working for Monaco, Pintus had been training this way and it had a good effect.
Pintus was not moved by football at first, but after working in the world of football, he was able to combine scientific physical training, the physical condition of football players and the needs of the game, and develop a reasonable training plan and training intensity. Let the players improve their physical fitness without affecting the improvement of football skills.
Pintus also interacted with the players on a regular basis, encouraging them to remain confident and face challenges positively, and was a key figure behind the success of the Real Madrid team.
Pintus had just signed a three-year contract with Lyon before Pintus signed a three-year contract with Lyon before being invited by Zinedine Zidane to join Real Madrid in July 2016. At Zidane's insistence, Real Madrid president Florentino decided to pay liquidated damages to bring him to Madrid.
Pintus did not set an actual deadline with Real Madrid at the time, and in fact Florentino used this unprecedented condition to persuade him to join. So theoretically, Pintus could always play for Real Madrid.
Since the development of football, the success of a football club has gone far beyond the cooperation between players and coaches to win games for the team, physical training, nutritional recovery, and youth training are all very important.
And Pintus is the GOAT of the world of strength and conditioning coaching!
The players love and hate him, but he is also deeply loved by the players and coaches, and he has achieved the best in the world in his field.
After 38 years as a strength and conditioning coach, Pintus has forged a legendary career in world football. He is the real secret weapon of the White Army, the hero behind the creation of Real Madrid's metaphysics!
