Three Hundred and Three Unemployed Middle-Aged Interviews

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: [new] the fastest update! No ads!

After participating in a high-level sports science seminar in Europe, Gao Shen discovered that domestic competitive sports are lagging behind in all aspects.

Of course, this is a very complicated issue, and if we dig deeper, it is estimated that it will take a long article.

In European football, professional football is an industry.

What is an industry?

It is an industry with a very detailed division of labor and cooperation, a very high degree of specialization, and a very top level of scientific research.

How professional is it?

Why does Buenaventura attach so much importance to post-match and post-training recovery?

He said that based on years of scientific research, more and more evidence shows that training does not actually improve the level of players.

Is this subversive?

Training can't improve your level, so why train?

Very simple, the purpose of training is to fully stimulate the athlete's body, and recovery after stimulation is the key to improvement.

And these are not only the long-term practice of the coaches, but also many universities and scientific research institutions are engaged in these researches.

For example, the advanced alma mater Loughborough University is famous for its sports science.

Gao Shen still remembered that before time travel, he had read an authoritative analysis article, which contained such a data.

In 2018, Deloitte announced that,

Among the top five teams in football club wealth, there are only three positions in the coaching staff and physical rehabilitation-related positions in Real Madrid, which ranks first, and the positions are physical coaches and sports physiotherapists.

Manchester City, which is ranked fifth, has two fitness coaches, but assistant coach Buenaventura himself is an authority in sports physiotherapy, so strictly speaking, Manchester City also has three.

There are three clubs in the middle, and Barcelona ranks second, with a total of ten people, whose positions are physical fitness coaches, sports physiotherapists and rehabilitation doctors; Manchester United has fourteen people, namely physical conditioning directors, masseurs, intensive physical therapy directors, Director of Physical Rehabilitation, Exercise Science Researcher...

Bayern Munich also has twelve people, generally in similar positions.

It can be fully seen that in terms of physical fitness and physical therapy, the subdivision in European football is already quite detailed.

But all of this is actually very difficult to appear in front of ordinary fans, because the media does not report, most of them are not even qualified to sit on the coaching bench, but the role of these people on the team is very obvious .

From this, we can see two major trends, that is, body and energy.

Body, which means body, refers to some traditional basic physical training, corresponding to physical fitness coaches.

Ability refers to sports performance, how to help players exert more energy on the court, corresponding to fitness coaches.

These are two different positions, but they are often called physical coaches in China.

Gao Shen already has a world-class fitness coach like Buenaventura, and now he wants to recruit an equally outstanding fitness coach with the world's top level.

On the 27th, just after Christmas, Gao Shen took Buenaventura and impatiently flew to Milan in northern Italy.

At Milan airport, after receiving Zidane, the three headed to Turin.

…………

…………

In the past six months, Antonio Pintus deeply felt an unprecedented panic.

middle age crisis!

At the age of forty-five, he couldn't find a job.

He was not born in a wealthy family, and he received professional track and field training since he was a child, but unfortunately, he lacked talent in this area. A few years later, he began to study courses in physical training for athletes and successfully completed a major in physical education. With a postgraduate degree, he became a well-known track and field and judo coach in Turin.

At the age of twenty-four, he became the physical coach of an amateur team in Turin called Sedimo. This was only a part-time job, but he did a pretty good job. Coupled with the strong football atmosphere in Italy, he began to devote himself to Research, tailor-made personalized training programs for each player as much as possible, and achieved excellent results.

Five years later, in 1991, he received an invitation that no one could refuse, Juventus.

At that time, the head coach of Juventus was Trapattoni, and the physical coach was Claudio Gaudio, an authority in Italian football. Yes, he later worked part-time at Inter Milan and the Italian national team to help Italy win Fitness coach to the World Cup.

Pintus' job at Juventus was to be an assistant to Gaudino, which gave him another excellent learning opportunity.

Gaudino has been working at Juventus since 1981 and has very rich experience.

The two worked together, experienced the era of Trapattoni and Lippi, and also witnessed the glorious peak of Juventus in the 1990s.

It can be said that the peak of the Bianconeri in the 1990s is inseparable from the silent contributions of the two of them.

In 1998, Pintus got an excellent opportunity. The Italian Vialli coached the Premier League team Chelsea. Vialli, who has played for Juventus for many years, knew Pintus' ability very well, so he invited Pintus. Join his coaching staff.

In this way, Pintus began to have a unique opportunity.

Vialli announced his resignation after three years of coaching at Chelsea and left Chelsea with Pintus, but the latter soon received a new invitation to become the physical coach of Serie A Udinese, but this He has only been doing this job for a year.

It's not that he didn't do a good job, but that Deschamps, who is far away in France, coached Monaco and extended an olive branch to him.

Pintus stayed in Monaco for four years and helped Didier Deschamps bring this Monaco team to the Champions League final. Although they lost to Mourinho's Porto, Monaco's level is obvious to all.

In September 2005, Deschamps dismissed get out of Monaco, and Pintus also left.

This time, he took the initiative to be unemployed for a year.

Also in this year, he had plenty of time to rest, recharge and study.

In 2006, Deschamps coached Juventus in Serie B, and Pintus also returned with him, and proposed a new idea of ​​physical training, "reduce strength confrontation and increase more running."

At the beginning of the season, this was actually very optimistic, because Gao Shen shined in Naples at that time, with amazing running and crazy pressing, holding high offensive football, swept the entire Italian football world, forming a strong storm.

Pintus's new thinking is undoubtedly in line with Gao Shen's style of play. Whether it is Deschamps or Juventus, they are all looking forward to the changes brought by Pintus, so he has received strong support from the club.

But Pintus failed miserably.

Not only did Juventus repeatedly lose to Naples, but also because last season, muscle strain became the most common injury for Juventus, and everyone knows that the main reason for muscle strain is a problem with training.

Juventus players are not used to Pintus' training methods.

In 2007, Didier Deschamps led Juventus back to Serie A and left with a seal.

At first, Pintus was retained by the club, but Ranieri brought in his own fitness coach, Dr. Capana of sports science.

If it’s just like this, it’s actually nothing. The key is that when the contract was renewed, Piero publicly stated that he wanted to have a physical coach because he didn’t trust Pintus; Quite complaining.

So, before the season even started, Pintus was fired.

From July to now, he has been unemployed at home.

Originally, he was ambitious last season and wanted to push his career to a new level, but who would have thought that what he waited for was a miserable Waterloo.

No matter how ambitious he was at the beginning of his tenure, the loss after resignation will be as painful.

What's more, there are no secrets in this business.

Pintus' work at Juventus, Juventus players' attitude towards Pintus, these all make Italian football have a grudge against Pintus. They are all doubting whether this fitness coach is real ?

And you must know that in Italy, excellent physical coaches are not scarce.

And just like that, Pintus was out of a job.

Forty-five years old, some are old and some are young, what a frightening thing it is to be unemployed!

Since July, he has called and contacted many people, but he has never been able to get a new job. He even contacted many foreign teams, but there is no follow-up.

Either he doesn't like him, or he just doesn't like him, whether he is high or low, he just idles like this.

When I'm free, it's half a year.

Until the day before Christmas, Zidane suddenly called him.

"Someone is very interested in you!"

So, on the afternoon of the twenty-seventh.

The whole of Italy, and even the whole of Europe, are still immersed in the Christmas atmosphere, and Pintus ushered in an interview.

...

Gao Shen took Buenaventura and Zidane to Pintus' house.

In fact, his house is quite nice, in the urban area of ​​Turin, the location is quite good.

Football coaches, especially those in the top leagues, are paid quite well.

But he could feel Pintus' desire for a new job, since he's far from financially free now.

Pintus was really excited about the visit of Gao Shen and the three of them. Although he tried his best to suppress it, it still showed to some extent. Whether it was the gestures of greeting them, the reaction of his family members, or the tone of his words, everything was different. revealed that he desperately needs a job right now.

More importantly, Naples has a good prospect now, ranking second in the Serie A standings.

Gao Shen is now one of the hottest young marshals in European football.

It was reported before that Juventus wanted to fire Ranieri and dig deep into Juventus. If he really joined the high-level coaching staff, wouldn't he return to Juventus?

Pintus was a little afraid to imagine that scene.

But for sure, Gao Shen is very promising now!

Gao Shen is not like before. After all, he was just a fledgling kid when he approached Buenaventura, Borrell and others, but now he is quite famous in European football. .

Especially this season, his team has topped the Serie A standings three times and ranked second in Serie A before the winter break.

Being able to bring the newly promoted to this level, Gao Shen definitely contributed, and his reputation naturally followed.

But now facing Pintus, even though Gao Shen didn't hold it up, he was still like a friend, but it was more or less like an interview.
