There’s a witch hunt at Real Madrid, and the search is landing at an unlikely source – Italian physio Antonio Pintus.
The 62-year-old fitness coach has been with Los Blancos for all five of their modern Champions League wins, and he has god status with president Florentino Perez.
However, Relevo claim that the feeling is no longer the same in the dressing room, with many players starting to blame him for the club’s huge spate of injuries.
Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao and David Alaba have all been lost to severe ACL injuries, while others like Rodrgyo and Brahim Diaz appear to be struggling to reach fitness.
A source in the dressing room claims that Pintus is training ‘athletes’ rather than footballers, as in they’re at peak fitness, but more fragile and unable to perform the intricacies of football.
With Real Madrid in poor form after their 4-0 Clasico loss to Barcelona and little fluidity up front, the ‘Pintus Method’ is increasingly under the microscope, particularly as injuries continue to stack up.
