The injury suffered by Lautaro Martinez, who will need half a miracle to be on the field in the derby between Inter and Milan scheduled for March 8, is just the latest in a very long list of players forced to stop, many of them for more or less serious muscle problems. Trying to take stock of the possible causes is Professor Pier Paolo Mariani, an orthopedic physician-surgeon who, over the course of his career, has crossed paths with professional sports several times, having treated more than a thousand athletes.

“In modern soccer, the risk of injury increases because the number of commitments increases and the intensity grows: if we saw a game thirty’years ago, it would look like slow motion – Professor Mariani told ‘Radio CRC’ – Today we ask our body to behave like a Ferrari, no longer like a sedan. Prevention? It is a difficult factor to evaluate from a scientific point of view, because you cannot isolate the various specific factors that can cause ligament or muscle injury. The more a player plays, the more the risk increases”.

"Scandal" for Caterina Balivo: there's an uncle’s in the middle… interista
The presenter, super supporter of Napoli, told that in the family there's a black sheep. Indeed, nerazzurra.
He did so in a recent interview granted to the 'Gazzetta dello Sport'. "A scandal" she smiled.
So many concepts expressed by the good (and beautiful) Campanian conductor.
"Napoli is experienced as a true faith by those born and raised in the city".
His first times at the stadium go back to'childhood, in the Maradona period.
"There'was also Naldi’s Napoli in Serie B and failure. And I was there'I was"
"Then the slow rise with De Laurentiis from Serie C. And there'I was also there".
In the last three years Napoli has won two championships.

"Winning two titles in three years is something huge".

"Conte’s reappointment was the best news of the'year".
"Soccer looks like life: there are ups, downs, falls and restarts".
"When you are on a high you must rejoice without forgetting that nothing lasts forever".

“Sometimes I see on TV how many kilometers a soccer player does during a game and I am amazed: we are talking about ten, eleven or twelve kilometers per game. Once upon a time they didn’t do that many, clearly you also have to consider the fact that to achieve these results you also have to train a lot. Then we have to decide: do we want quiet, relaxed soccer or athletic soccer? As for age, it affects even if we don&#8217t realize it, however there are exceptions, such as Pedro or Modric”.

Practically all of the top clubs have one or more players in the pits due to injuries of various kinds: at Inter, Lautaro adds to a list that includes another starter such as Denzel Dumfries, among others, while second-ranked AC Milan still cannot count on Santi Gimenez, who is out with an ankle problem that has also forced him to go under the knife.

Even more difficult is the situation of Napoli, which cannot field Anguissa, David Neres, De Bruyne and Di Lorenzo due to injury, and will go to Bergamo for Sunday&#8217s match against Atalanta with the doubt related to McTominay&#8217s condition. Juventus, on the other hand, has not yet recovered Vlahovic and just lost Bremer, while Roma cannot count on Dovbyk and is awaiting the returns of Ferguson and El Shaarawy.
