Atlético de Madrid and the Piñedo miracle
Atlético de Madrid has an empty infirmary at mid-December, something that did not happen in the last seasons. The new physical trainer, Piñedo, has modernized the training methods with palpable results since the summer itself.
The players do not accumulate fatigue and the infirmary is practically empty. Piñedo measures in detail the GPS data of acceleration and deceleration, total kilometers, high-intensity runs. He has remodeled the gym facilities and has adapted the workloads to the physical and capabilities of each player.
Atlético B was one of the teams with the fewest injuries in its category and now the first team is also enjoying that good health. Atlético has practically seven casualties to face the games ahead.
They were Nahuel and Giménez, it was Koke, and Correa, and Memphis, and Söyüncü, and Witsel, and Barrios, and De Paul, and Lemar, and Savic… A constant headache. With an infirmary that never emptied. Now, the infirmary is empty and the players do not accumulate fatigue. Piñedo has achieved a miracle.
