    Antonio Pintus deserves his own thread. His training and fitness methods have been crucial to so many of our past successes. There is a reason that Zinedine Zidane and Carlo Ancelotti always request him to be the trainer. As we all know from the viral video from Luka Modric, the hardworking players love him. He has worked wonders to increase the longevity of some of our more aged players like Modric, Kroos, Benzema and Marcelo.

    Many including myself wondered what this famed "Pintus method" was:
    Who knows where our team would be without his demands of our players. When teams get winded and slow down later in the game, our players come alive! It is incredible. People think it's some voodoo magic that creates all these incredible comebacks. No, it is the incredible fitness and stamina of our players. People don't realize that even with elite mentality, and rugged determination, it is sometimes not enough to get over the finish line. It is Pintus's top level conditioning that gives us the edge over superior teams.

    Antonio Pintus - the man, the myth, the legend.

    :( In before he gets convicted of doping in twenty years time :p

    I’m always wary of “superstar” fitness coaches, given the issues in sports generally but especially in football and cycling.

    Not saying Pintus is at it but nothing would surprise me in sports.

    The dude has a 34 yr old playing at a career best level and a 37 yr old running around like he has three lungs. An absolute genius.

    Pintus is peak. Zidane's worst move ever was when he got Pintus fired in his comeback because when Zidane left, Pintus stayed.
