Someone has to pay the price for the many consecutive injuries at Real Madrid, and it seems that the management has already found a “scapegoat”.
Eder Militao suffered a cruciate ligament tear for the second time in a year and a half, with 17 injuries hitting Real Madrid in less than 4 months since the start of the season.
The Athletic network highlighted that the Real Madrid management is analyzing what has been happening recently, and concluded that the famous physical trainer Antonio Pintus may be the cause of the crisis.
Pintus has become the most controversial figure within Real Madrid in recent weeks, after being criticized by the management as well as by coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Some of Pintus’s methods are seen as “old” and were among the reasons for the players’ fatigue and muscle weakness, which was ultimately the cause of the many injuries.
Pintus may be sacrificed in the coming weeks if the current analysis concludes that he is the main cause of the injuries that have hit Real Madrid’s ranks this season.
The strange thing is that a few months ago, Pintus was being glorified and considered one of the most important reasons for Real Madrid and its physical strength, so much so that everyone predicted that Kylian Mbappé would become a monster under his leadership.
Pintus has had an amazing career with Real Madrid and others, and NASA has hired him to lecture on physical training methods and help astronauts.
