How did Mourinho and his staff succeed in reducing injuries for Real Madrid?

Much of this development can be attributed to the fitness coach Antonio Díaz, who has a long-standing relationship with the Portuguese manager. He relies on a comprehensive system that combines injury prevention, individual training programs for players, and continuous coordination with the Italian Antonio Pintus.

The impact of improved physical conditioning has not only reduced injuries but also extended to the team's performance during matches, as Real Madrid players have demonstrated a greater ability to maintain their energy until the final minutes. The team has succeeded in scoring 36.4% of their goals this season after the 75th minute, which has contributed to several comebacks.

Díaz's preventive approach relies on his experience in decentralized strength training, including the "Nordic Hamstring" exercise, which studies indicate can reduce hamstring injuries by between 56% and 70%, making it one of the important elements in the team's physical program.

Real Madrid have shown a clear improvement in players' fitness under José Mourinho, with injuries significantly decreasing since the start of the season. The team has suffered only 10 injuries, including two in October, compared to 123 injuries recorded by the club over the previous two seasons.
