The River coach, with many years in Europe, left a reflection that points to the youth of Argentine soccer.
Martin Demichelis spoke at a press conference on the eve of what will be River’s return to Monumental. In a week that he had as a great dilemma if Daniel Passarella Whether or not he would attend the tribute that the club will pay to the world champions, the coach offered his opinion on this issue.
“It seems to me that I have to focus 100% on everything that is my responsibility to prepare the game in the best way. Focus 100% so that the team from minute 1 to minute 93 plays well. The only protagonists are the players, I am not the protagonist, nor is anyone else, “was Demichelis’s response to avoid the issue and remain exempt from controversy.
However, and beyond the Passarella theme, Micho He left a reflection that generated a lot of commotion on social networks. It turns out that the former coach of the training divisions of Bayern Munich made a public request for the youth players of the institution and their representatives.
“Here I see, honestly I did not do it, but if I ask the boys from the reserve, the fourth or the fifth if they have a representative, they will say yes, that they all have a representative. Surely they ask the representatives for a better phone, the best booties… and I don’t want to go any deeper. I would advise the boys, I am going to tell them in front of them and I am sorry to make it so public, that they ask their representatives to solve their oral problems, ”he said.
“There are huge problems from that aspect, there are a lot of injuries. That they ask the representative, like the nutritionist, to go to the dentist, ”he concluded.
The importance of oral care in athletes
Unknown to many and perhaps alerted by Demichelis, poor dental care can cause physical problems in athletes. How is this? Different dental studies showed that the possibility of having muscular problems increases if there are cavities in the teeth. The reason is that these bacteria can travel into the body through the blood and reach the muscles. As a result, they can generate the loss of muscle mass and, consequently, some muscle injury.
There are different factors why athletes are more prone to cavities if they do not have the necessary care. First of all, and like all people, a bad brushing and having regular controls increase the chances of oral problems. Then, consumption of isotonic drinks -with high level of minerals and acids- and energy bars They also do not help the health of the teeth. Finally, dryness of the oral cavitya product of breathing through the mouth – a fact that is produced by fatigue – makes the appearance of cavities more propitious.
For this reason, and with the pertinent information, the request of Martín Demichelis makes more sense. The search for him goes through reducing the risk margins against injuries and thus being able to empower the young values of the club both physically and technically. A sentence in the press conference attests to this. “We have a talent in the Argentine boys that you cannot believe it, you fall in love “although he clarified: “It is clear that not everyone can arrive and more in an institution like River.”
