The workaholic Napoli coach pulled the plug for a week. But he’s not the only one: tennis players are also asking for more breaks
Break. A short absence to oxygenate. A deep breath. Stop the world, I want to get off. The rest of the warriors. A coach who for years has based his strength on the constant, insistent presence of Antonio Conte, allows himself a week of absence. A champion and a champion, Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti, who give up the competition in which they have to represent their country for a few more days of “active rest”, i.e. stress-free training, which can bring benefits for an entire season, perhaps keeping injuries away. Because, as we know, real tiredness is the one that keeps your head always busy, always focused on responding to expectations and pressures, rather than that of lactic acid which poisons your muscles, but then everything is connected.
