Arnaldo Ribeiro warns SPFC due to overcrowded medical department | Fans

Thiago Carpini’s tactical style with few substitutions, pressure on all lines of the pitch and frequent use of starters led to problems with results and injuries for São Paulo. However, for a few seasons now, Tricolor Paulista has been concerned about the treatment of its athletes and has worried its fans. Journalist Arnaldo Ribeiro warned new coach Luis Zubeldía about the matter.

Arnaldo Ribeiro projects a problem for São Paulo

During their participation in Bandsports’ G4 program, sports commentators commented on the news that Wellington and Pablo Maia had injuries. Arnaldo Ribeiro read about São Paulo’s situation, pointing out how “it’s not normal” and said: “It’s not something from São Paulo’s medical department. The DM is no good. The DM doesn’t hurt the player. It wasn’t São Paulo’s DM who injured Pablo Maia in training. The DM recovers players.”

The sports journalist pointed out that the situation with midfielder Pablo Maia is similar to the case that happened with Luan during Rogério Ceni’s time. Arnaldo Ribeiro said: “The muscle, not the same, detached from the bone. And then I started thinking, what do Pablo Maia and Luan have in common? Several things. One, they play the same position. Two are trained in Cotia. Three were subjected in those times to a thousand methods of physical trainers”.

Therefore, the specialist believes that, despite several changes in technical committees, it is possible that there is a problem in the work of the São Paulo Medical Department. Arnaldo Ribeiro detailed: “For me, there is a methodology problem in the training and preparation of São Paulo players from the base. That’s a question. Because it’s not because Zubeldía’s coach took over that the guy opened his leg like that. It’s not because the DM was scrapped and now has NASA devices that opened its leg.”

Therefore, Arnaldo Ribeiro believes that while Tricolor Paulista only attacks the consequences and the large number of injuries, it may not see behind the scenes of the athletes’ physical problems. Finally, the sports journalist recalled that, for a few seasons now, São Paulo has suffered from many injuries and recurrences.
