Real stars are like Batman's 'villain'
Ben may remind you of the masks of David Alaba and Rudiger. Ben is the villain of the movie 'The Dark Knight Rises' released in 2012. The difference between his mask and the masks of Real Madrid players is minimal.
Real have started pre-season training. Alaba-Rüdiger faced such a mask in practice at Valdebebas. A few days ago in Spain, the death toll in the terrible fire exceeded eighty. Many have taken to social media to question why Real players are practicing wearing masks again this summer.
As everyone has been wearing surgical masks during the covid pandemic, this mask is nothing like that. This blue colored mask looks like a gas mask. Vinicius Jr. and Alabad have been seen practicing wearing such masks.
Ranging from running, stretching and other physical exercises, Real players have done it. Questions are also doing the rounds on social media whether this mask is for good breathing or whether the mask is causing breathing problems.
According to media reports, Real's fitness coach Antonio Pintos asked Vinicius to wear the mask. The Madrid club's fitness expert has come up with a new plan ahead of the season. The Pintos are preparing the players from now on to ensure that they are in top form at the end of the season.
Players get shortness of breath while playing at altitude. Bolivia's La Paz Stadium comes to mind as an example. Brazil national team players sometimes have to breathe through oxygen cylinders while playing there. This mask is designed to help Real Madrid players adapt to such conditions.
Pintus thought of something else. After seeing how the players perform while wearing the mask, Pintas will determine how to practice for each player with a different practice schedule and the rest of the season in mind. Real Madrid's fitness coach has already gained a reputation for revolutionizing physical exercise. Pintus was not the first to discover such things.
During the 2021 preseason, the Pintos had players practice wearing masks. Before a Copa del Rey match against Athletic Bilbao in January this year, Pintos trained the players with masks on their faces and backpacks on their backs.
Speaking on Real Madrid TV about this technique the players practice, Pintos said, 'This mask has five layers. This is definitely not a simple oxygen uptake test. This exercise is to see how players react to aerobic and non-aerobic conditions. This mask analyzes oxygen and carbohydrates. Such exercises are necessary to know how well the players are doing at the moment. As a result, it will be understood how to train the players.
