Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci is fired up by getting insulted in the dark and punched in the stomach, said his mental coach.
The Italy and Juve centre-back has for years been working with personal motivator Alberto Ferrarini, who also worked with Alberto Gilardino and Francesco Toldo in the past.
“Over the years I took Bonucci into my basement. Underground. In the dark,” wrote Ferrarini on Facebook.
“There, with a tone anything but kind or sweet, I offended him in every way possible. I judged him. I insulted him.
“If he made even the slightest attempt to glance at me, he’d receive a punch straight to the stomach.
“The objective? To win over judgement, so Leo would always be focused and ignore everything else around him. That’s how I started making him into a soldier.”
