The Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci he was the protagonist of the first episode of the new ‘Player Insight’ format on the FIGC website. It was an opportunity to talk about the many changes in the world of football in recent years: “Football has changed a lot since Roman 2006. Now the way to play is completely different and for this you have to adapt. Everything is faster, from the way of thinking to that of being on the pitch, as well as the timing of reading the situations. Now the attacker gives you a thousandth of a second, everything is very fast and the players who now make the difference a few years ago were normal players. Athletic training? I think the most important structure is the physical one, you have to be able to handle the intensity of the match every three days. Now the muscles must be fully trained. The difference is made by the preparation, the care and the nutrition. Speaking with the elderly they told me that what is now, in the treatment, they followed much less ”.
Comment on young people: “The other day I was talking to some young people from the national team and the club: if I had someone at their age who had told me to take care of prevention in detail, to go to the gym every day and to take care of the training and the smallest details , I would have thanked him. What I learned at the age of 25 is that to stay in the national team and in an important club like Juventus, if you have to spend half an hour in the gym you do it because it is the most important phase of training “.
