Hey guys, I haven't been posting on the forum in the last few weeks (I've been quite busy lately), but I happened to read this and I thought it was interesting, worth sharing:

Santos should learn from this, and find a way to keep Ganso away from injuries, and to keep Neymar away from that Ronaldinho/Adriano-ish lifestyle!!

AC Milan should also find a way to help Pato with his injuries.

They've really accomplished something with Messi...

Surprisingly, in before doping, HGH etc...

But seriously, the holistic approach to Messi's fitness is amazing. I wonder if every injury prone player in every club is treated this way, then would they achieve similar results?

Let me tell you this. At his time at Milan Ronie was every second weekend in Athens night clubs.
Bad influence is bad

I dont believe Ronaldinho and Deco were sold because of Messi, Xavi and Iniesta benefited most from their transfer

Basically they were in decline.
Selling them was the right thing to do

I have to admit the book is intresting, I might consider getting a copy.

Considering his chat scandal I'm inclined to agree about Dinho being out of control xD

Bestiality right there

If by similar results you mean often being fit for playing and not getting injured all the time, then yes.. I think it could be possible, and that's why I think AC Milan and Santos should contact Barcelona to learn how to prepare Pato and Ganso a little better lol.
