Juve have had an excellent season so far, and Enrico Castellacci gave his opinions on the reason behind the physical fitness of Bianconeri throughout the season.
Castellacci, the chief of the Nazionale’s medical team, has remarked on the remarkable season Juventus are enjoying so far, as they have had the fewest number of injuries
during the season. According to a recently conducted study, Juve has had the best record of keeping players injury free over the course of the season.
Under the new management, the Turin outfit has had eighty percent less injuries as compared to 2009-10 and sixty percent less injuries than in their last season. The club
with the highest tally of League injuries is AC Milan who have lost their players for a total number of 218 games, that compared with Juventus, whose players have lost a total of 40 league games.
The chief medical officer of the Azzurri was writing in La Gazzetta dello Sport and in his analysis of the situation, he was of the opinion:
“Juventus’ players, after a slight decline in winter, have returned to run, run and run in the first half and second half, until the final minute. We saw it
against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 and here we are in April, when energy levels begin to drop, but it is as if fatigue does not exist and they are able to play every match as if it is the game of their lives.”
The medical expert also stated that it was not just luck which had favoured Antonio Conte’s men, and stated:
“Why them and not others? There’s no secret, just rationality, foresight and some
favourable combinations.”
The Nazionale representative was of the opinion that Conte has a lot to do with the progress of the team, as his mental conditioning of the squad also helps the team to
perform better. Furthermore, he stated that the lack of UEFA Champions League football worked in their favour as they had better schedules for the season, and did not have to deal with playing three times a week, something AC Milan have had to contend with.
