Lucas Blondel of Mouth and Ulises Sanchez of Belgrano of Cordova They were the new footballers of First division to join the painful list of ligament tears. He argentine soccer is going through its own pandemic in this genre and there is no solution in sight.
The side of Mouth suffered the knee injury last Saturday in the match played at the candy box in view of San Lorenzo; while the forward of Belgrano He suffered it in the away victory against Tiger a day before, where he scored two goals.

The defense and worrying reflection of Doctor Batista
Due to this, the Doctor Jorge Pablo Batista (doctor of Mouth) made a deep reflection and warning to the authorities and compared this reality with that of European tournaments. “It is NOT 18!!! THERE ARE 19. There is one more player who will surely be given information soon!! This weekend: 3 (Three!!!!!). Two weeks ago I uploaded a post that went unnoticed. “I did it last year too”began his release through a publication on Instagram.
In addition, the Boca doctor gave his reasons for why these injuries occur:
“Very tight schedule, playing fields in some cases in poor condition, trends in the use of semicircular caps instead of round caps, psychological stress (everyone has something at stake, relegation, qualifying for the final stages, etc etc), physical fatigue. Argentine soccer is extremely difficult, the work of the physical trainers is excellent. This means that the player does not have a second without receiving pressure from two or even three rivals. (Physical and mental stress)”Batista added on his account @jpbatista20.
Finally, he left a worrying reflection: “From all this I can think of only one conclusion: I DO NOT see a quick way out. More and more players will continue to break, this is INEVITABLE. There are no prevention programs that can be established because the variables to be corrected are many and they affect economic interests in many cases. A shame!!”he concluded.
The problem with boot plugs due to ligament injuries
As Doctor Batista mentioned, modern cleat plugs are being detrimental to the health of soccer players: 9 of the 18 cleats (of broken players) are associated with the speed range, where the sole is very aggressive. They are Adidas X, Nike Mercurial and Puma Ultra. Semicircular metal plugs.
