I don't know where to post this:
TURIN, Feb. 10, 2012 - It takes a physical beast for football to one hundred per hour planned by Antonio Conte: "We win only if we always give 120 percent." So Juve filled immediately fitted , for the development of muscles and prevent failures. So far it has worked out great, even if at Juventus home avoid talking about it and dusted amulets: 15 injuries in the first five months of the season, against 32 of last season. And with a lower incidence of muscular trouble, 6 against 16, debunking the legend of Vinovo fields: depended entirely upon humidity, half the teams in Premier League would be hospitalized for seven months out of nine. While the crack from the trauma, pilot pure fate.
For racing at this the speed limit, where the enemy does not come often, like the other night at San Siro, is training as a result: in fact, since the withdrawal of Bardonecchia, the sessions have always been mixed with athletic training, every day, every week. "He works harder and harder," confessed a few players. At first, Paulo Bertelli, athletic trainer, summed up the new philosophy: "All the ball, but even without exercises and gym work. Let's say that everything is geared to high-intensity, always to attack what you do. From playing to training: Conte tries to develop competitive aggressiveness, the most is applied because of his football. "
Moreover, as a player, coach Conte worked extensively with Giampiero Ventrone, the "marine" of Marcello Lippi's Juventus. The physical as well as the technique. Ventrone was not drafted, but the staff has been redone anyway. From his thirty-year archive of football, Beppe Marotta has so indicated Bertelli, known at the time of the Venezia of Spalletti. And he had the insight in the choice of Professor Roberto Sassi, 60, with which the Juventus Director worked in 1980 in Varese, while the Conte was known as an athletic trainer at Lecce. The other theory of muscle fibers is Julio Tous, 39, Spaniard, a former collaborator of Barcelona and players like Rafa Nadal and Carlos Moya: Marotta hired him at the time of Samp.
So Sassi described the team at the beginning of the adventure: "A group very well all together, each with their own skills. Bertelli is the closest associate of Conte, with whom the training processes. Tous is the expert in work in the gym with strength and innovative machines. I coordinate the Training Express." That is a novelty: Essentially all Juve workouts are monitored, from the first team to very young players, in order to advance the same type of training. Different loads in proportion to age, of course. All with the help of telemetry mechanisms , whose data are stored in a PC.
During some midweek friendly, for example, to the players has been applied a heart rate monitor, so as to control the activity of the heart during the various phases of the game. Just as during the season, the team has supported several fitness testing with the Mapei research center, which is another huge amount of data output. Reading them, you can meter the more appropriate loads of work, avoid exceeding the limit on duty.
Narrowed down the injuries, have begin also the cautious replacement of players because in some, for poor health or bad luck, trouble seemed to be become muscle pathology: from Traoré to Amauri and Iaquinta, protagonists of ailments and relapse. Of course, then also got to do with fate, or maybe the bottle of holy water of Conte: "Not everything that was wrong what they did a year ago with Del Neri, and everything is perfect today," admitted a few black and white, crossing fingers. Although, to date, this tells the reports. And the ranking.
