Coach Zidane has received many compliments for the rotation of the Real Madrid squad in the final period of the last season. He has given his substitutes a chance to play against lower-rated opponents in La Liga to boost the UEFA Champions League's pillars.
However, to ensure the players are in the best physical condition at the end of the season, Real Madrid's medical team also plays an important role. Real Madrid doctor Mikel Aramberri recently shared about this issue on RNE radio channel in Spain.
The most important thing is clearly the principles of the training and competition volume for coach Zidanes players, although doctors with the help of physiotherapists have also restrained themselves.
We are a team that always wants to achieve the set goals and the most important thing is to give the players a break, have breaks. When they return, we assess the players to be 100% healthy but the most important thing is to give them a break.
In addition, the doctor further explained the work of him and his colleagues: The medical team of Real Madrid's first team includes 9 physiotherapists and 3 doctors. Our working day begins at 9:15 a.m.
We met to have a detailed assessment of the players: Those who have health problems, how the training process was completed, the training volume and many other things. After that, together with the coaching staff, we will give a training session for those who are not in good health.
In addition, Dr. Aramberri revealed the injury that made him most difficult during his time working for Real Madrid: "The most difficult challenge came to me in November 2015. Sergio Ramos suffered a shoulder injury and needs to be cautious in treatment. We have had many difficult problems with the coaching staff before.
The media at the time thought Ramos needed surgery. I was responsible for treating him and knew I didn't need to use this method. Despite the pressure, we are steadfast in our methods and have finally overcome the difficulties.
