Experts talk about the fact that young Barcelona players suffer from injuries: Due to the intensive schedule and high intensity, their bodies are facing overdraft

Young Barcelona players have suffered long-term injuries in recent years. The Daily Sports Daily asked many sports medicine experts about the reason for this situation.

Sports Medicine Doctor Tramulas pointed out: "Professional football itself is a high-risk profession, not to mention that children enter the top football field at such a young age, and are in a stage of physical and mental growth. Injuries are impossible to fully predict. It involves many factors. The key is to reduce the frequency of injuries caused by multiple factors. Diet and rest are crucial. Another early warning method is to use genetic testing to understand whether children have a genetic tendency to damage muscle, tendon or ligament."

A study shows that football players should not close themselves. Enhancing physical fitness is important, but mental health is also crucial. Players should not only focus on football, but also have parallel lives, such as learning English or participating in other activities, and interacting with friends who are not in the football circle, so that young players can better cope with the pressure from the club and even the family.

In addition, a reasonable diet, strengthening strength training, game management and playing time for players aged 13-14 are also important factors. Tramulas reminded: "Players who enter the top league too early may not be able to continue playing football at the age of 28 or 29, so a very detailed assessment of the training and game of young players must be made."

Tramulas mentioned that Frick is a good example. Although he does not know Frick himself, he knows that Frick attaches great importance to the opinions of the team. If a player can only play half the game, he will let the half the game. If he can only play for a few minutes, the same is true: "It's like the engineers of F1 racing, they provide advice and the team leader makes a decision."

Frick also warns the players: "The constituent meeting kills success", which is also appreciated by Tramulas. Tramulas said he had just finished reading Ryan Holliday's book "The Self is the Enemy", which emphasized the importance of teamwork, not only for elite athletes, but also for all fields.

Former Barcelona coach Koeman's physical fitness coach Albert Roca also agreed with Tramulas' view, believing that there are many factors that affect injuries: "From a physical perspective, a person may still be developing before the age of 25 and is not fully mature, so specific analysis is needed for each case."

Roca once witnessed Garvey's debut for Barcelona's first team at the age of 17. He said that Garvey was already a "very comprehensive and responsive" player at that time. However, he also said that like all players, Gavey faces the risk of being overdrawn due to the intensive schedule and high intensity of the game.

Roca has implemented afternoon strength training in Barcelona to prevent injuries and continues to this day, aiming to protect muscle chains and joints, as football is a complex sport. Roca emphasizes strength training in the lower limbs and regards personalized training as a crucial part.

Roca said: "Sprinters are more likely to be injured due to their strong explosive power. Pedri can play 70 games a year. Although he has encountered some problems and stress is an influencing factor, he has now better adapted to high-intensity games. His muscle fibers do not have strong explosive power. It can be said that he is a 'diesel' player, unlike Valde."

Roca had a clear standard for the use of players during his time at Barcelona. If a player's game time reaches 1000 minutes, it will be marked as a red alert state. However, the coach will also consider other factors, such as the importance of the game, whether the pressure to be dismissed, and whether there are other players available.

Roka believes that core players must be rested and rotated because there are many factors that may lead to injury, including under-considered factors such as travel fatigue, and stresses the importance of doctors, rehabilitators and psychologists in coordinating player stress management.
