Del Neri cracks the Juve whip
Wednesday 7 July, 2010

Gigi Del Neri is holding four-hour training sessions and long tactical lectures to rebuild the new Juventus.

The former Sampdoria Coach has always been known as a hard task-master and he was fired by Porto before the season began reportedly because the players protested at the tiring schedule.

Considering the sluggish physical fitness of the Bianconeri last term, Del Neri is pushing his men into four-hour athletic training sessions.

According to Tuttosport newspaper, he also sets aside time at the end of the session for basic technique and ball control practice.

He then sits the squad down for long tactical lectures so that they can fully understand his 4-4-2 system.

“This is the fourth season in which I have been a first-team player,” said Paolo De Ceglie.

“We’ve had a good start and are working very hard. We must continue along this road.

“Obviously I hope for an Italy call-up and will do everything I can to earn my place.”

They could do all the strength and conditioning in the world, they won't get much faster. Players like Amauri and Diego would be very fit. By now they would have done more pre season trainings then you can count on both hands, they've played at least a game a week + training most of their careers. If they're not quick now, they'll never be. If we want pace we have to buy pace. Amauri's vertical leap isn't bad though.
Only anyone who has ever done any sort of sports training will disagree with you. Where's the speed in Diego's legs? Where's the power. There's a lot of muscle there, no doubt, but is it making him faster? And why does he run like that? He's always hunched over. Ronaldo's power comes from his hamstrings and glutes. Compare Ronaldo's muscles there with what Diego has and Ronaldo's by far stronger. I'm not saying that this means this is what Diego should strenghten, but it's quite obvious that Ronaldo's a better athlete. Maybe copying doesn't hurt.

@ the guy who asked me if Buffon wasn't an athlete: when I saw him play live in Bologna I immediately noticed the way he ran. It was nothing like the way he ran in 2003 for example. He moves very differently. Look at some footage if you will. It's almost as if he's got Trendelenburg. At this point right now, Buffon is less athletic than you and me I'm afraid, but the surgery should help.

Right,Buffon is not the same athlete he was few years back.
