Florentino Pérez Stands by Real Madrid’s Fitness Coach Amidst Injury Crisis

Real Madrid’s season has faced early turbulence, with a spate of injuries affecting key players and raising concerns about the team’s fitness levels. Crucial figures like Dani Carvajal, who is out for the season, and Eder Militao, injured prior to the international break, have been sidelined, while Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo are expected to miss a month after being injured during the 4-0 win over Osasuna. These setbacks have prompted questions about the methods of Antonio Pintus, the club’s fitness coach, and whether his approach is to blame.

Despite growing criticism of Pintus’ training regimen, including concerns over the physical conditioning of several players, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has chosen to support his coach. With rumors swirling that Pintus might be replaced, Pérez has firmly decided to keep him in his position, trusting that continuity and unity within the club’s ranks will help them navigate the challenges ahead.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is mindful of the mounting pressure, is said to have called for more intensive training ahead of the Champions League clash with Liverpool on November 27. But with two defeats in the opening four Champions League games, the stakes are high for the club across all competitions.

Real Madrid’s leadership believes that staying united in these trying times will be crucial in the club’s quest to remain competitive and contend for major honors this season.
