On the evening of May 11th, Beijing time, Real Madrid officially announced that left back Mendy suffered from tibial periostitis. "Aspen" and other media confirmed that Mendy's 2020-21 season has been reimbursed, and it is doubtful to play in this summer's European Cup!
Mendy's season reimbursement
The La Liga title race entered the final sprint stage, and Real Madrid lost the absolute main force. This is the epitome of Real Madrid's serious crisis-ZidaneThe team is full of wounded:
Hazard
The four main players in the back lineRamos,Varane,Mendy , Carvajal , all had injuries of varying degrees; Vazquez was recovering from injury, Marcelo and Odriozola were plagued by minor injuries. Throughout the season, Real Madrid's team has a total of 61 injury reports, Hazard, Benzema in striker, Valverde , Kroos in midfield, Ramos in defense , Carvajal... all suffered injuries.
There are even more shocking data: Of the 20 Real Madrid players (non-goalkeepers), a total of 17 had muscle injuries!
Faced with such a serious injury crisis, Zidane was helpless: as the coach, he was responsible for arranging troops, commanding on the spot, psychological massage. So, who is responsible for this part of injury management?
Real Madrid fans at this moment will think of one person: Physical training Antonio Pintus. In 2019, Pintus and Zidane parted ways and came to Inter Milan to cooperate with Conte . Unexpectedly, this "transfer" changed the fate of the two giants to some extent.
Pingtus and Cristiano Ronaldo
015-16 to 2017-18 season, Zidane led Real Madrid to win the Champions League 3 consecutive championships, and physical fitness master Pintus made great contributions. This bald man has inspired the fighting power of Modric , Ramos, Marcelo, Cristiano Ronaldo and other superstars, keeping the entire team in an amazing physical and physical state.
In May 2018 Zidane suddenly resigned and Pintus remained at Real Madrid, which also caused the estrangement between Zidane and Pintus. In June 2019, Pintus bid farewell to Real Madrid, and Zidane's coaching staff was replaced by DuPont. However, it turns out that DuPont’s training method and physical reserve method are far inferior to Pintus. In the past two years, Real Madrid has been continuous, which makes Real Madrid fans miss Pintus even more.
get Pintus' and Inter ? Let's use the data to see how much physical change Pintus has brought to the Inter team:
020-21 season Serie A , Inter only scored 26 goals in the first half, If is scored according to the halftime result , Inter Milan only scored 55 points in the 35 rounds, ranking 5th, far less than AC Milan's 70 points; however, Inter Milan's stamina is very strong. In the 35th round of Serie A, they scored 53 points in the second half, The halftime result was 24 With 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, the half-time score is 82 points , ranking first!
What does this mean? Nearly 70% of Inter's goals came from the second half , which is a testament to the team's excellent physical fitness; Inter Milan is also one of the teams with the fewest muscle injuries in Serie A ( Naples , Atlanta , Inter Milan's Muscle injuries are less than 10 times).
Back to Mendy.
Mendy's tibial periostitis is not a muscle injury, but according to "Aspen", the cause of this injury is "overload, fatigue ". In the context of a full battalion of wounded soldiers, Zidane could only use one lineup to carry it, leading to a vicious circle.
Real Madrid is full of wounded soldiers, Inter Milan is full of stamina, and the importance of Pintus is vividly reflected. In the face of such a serious wave of injuries, does Zidane regret the estrangement between Peace and Tus, which led to parting ways?
