Maradona's confidant from his time as FC Barcelona, Fernando Signorini ensures the physical integrity of the Argentine squad

Fernando Signorini, trainer of the albiceleste, won the confidence of Lint during recovery from a broken ankle suffered in Barcelona. Then it was who accompanied him in the most glorious moments of his career. Assistant Diego from 1983 to 1993, will now oversee the development of Messi.

You prepared especially Maradona in '86. Now some work differently and punctual with Messi?

Individual training allows you to dig deeper into the person to be able to help not only from the muscle. I learned that one gram of brain tissue weighs more than 80 kilos of muscle. We must talk little and say a lot, that's all an art. And that has privileged Diego at the time of electing to accompany him on this adventure.

How to get Messi World Cup after a successful season but exhausting?

The problem of mine, and as I told Lionel, is that I will bring down the retinas: Can not believe it is their breakneck pace and frequency of movement. It's almost a miracle of genetics, because the same movement for six or seven. Is called to be one of the best ever and certainly in the next World Cup will be better than this. His talent will add experience. Regarding work, the idea is not doing more than we need. The players arrive fresh and to express the greatest potential. There is very little preparation time. We will not impose a new style of training, what Barcelona has made an almost optimal level unchanged. Will change the context, the essence remains the same, with the aim of making the game possible Messi.

"Messi gets very tired?

Yes, get tired at the World Cup. The damage is done and is irreversible. They worry about the doping controls but do not worry because the players played seventy games per year and have to travel from one point to another.

"They will kill the goose that lays the golden eggs"

Fernando Signorini rails against the system. The Argentine trainer does not like the forms of FIFA, so loaded the calendar and schedules soaring doping controls are made by surprise. "There are leaders who take measures which I wonder: have they ever been made antidoping control these managers? They came at seven in the morning of FIFA for antidoping controls. If it were me, were left waiting until the time that we had to wake up the campus. It's crazy to come at that time. Today the business has overtaken the sport itself, but that there are so many injured. We are putting too the neck to the goose that lays the golden eggs. And they will end up kill her. They can be so insensitive. As the theme of the ball: want more goals for the show is different. Soon they will play with a colored balloon ...", complains not without reason the trainer of the Argentina.
