Fernando Signorini, physical trainer who worked with Maradona and Messi: “This is the best version of Messi”

A privileged football and life. This is considered Fernando Signorini, renowned physical trainer who worked with Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi, who follows the Qatar 2022 World Cup, but does not enjoy it because of the way the venue was awarded and how it was organized. The Professor does not shut up and speaks what many do not dare to speak.

What did you think of the World Cup?
– Very serious things are happening in the world and football cannot be left out. In Iran they are going to execute a soccer player for demanding rights for women. In these conditions it does not generate much for me, it would be like accepting to be one more sheep of the flock that power manages at will with an insensitivity that worries. I hope the players show up.

–A World Cup that has been questioned since they gave it the venue in 2012.
– The venue was achieved thanks to acts of corruption that should disgust us, in addition to the deaths of thousands of people in the construction of the stadiums. Whoever lifts the cup must be careful, because his hands will be stained with blood.

Did you get invited to the World Cup?
– Yes, but I refused. I don’t want to be a part of this up-to-date Roman circus aberration. I am ashamed of opulence, the waste of hundreds of millions of dollars, when there are many people right there who have a hard time. Soccer is a business like the sale of arms and drugs.

MARADONA AND MESSI

–Maradona would have already raised his voice.
– In these circumstances Diego would have raised his voice and his fist, he always did it for reasons not as serious as those of the hour.

–And what does it feel like to have worked with Maradona and Messi?
– I am privileged. Sometimes I pinch myself because I think I’m dreaming how so many wonderful things related to the world of sport and football happened to me.

– Is this the best version of Messi today at 35 years of age?
– I think this is his best version, already with an 18-year career he finds him with a figure that allows him to be unbalancing and an experience that allows him to play calmly and read the games better. He is achieving an efficiency that is only allowed to geniuses.

Who gets to the final better?
– It is a very close final, Argentina has a certain advantage by having all its players, while France is missing three starters such as Kanté, Pogba and Benzema. Hopefully this final will be a great show that allows us to get excited. The last World Cups lacked that something that was emotional.

– What do you think of Mbappé’s statements when minimizing South American football?
– It’s part of the show. I like Mbappé, if he had not had that ability to play football he would be one of those who are wandering in the streets or would be up on the scaffolding to earn a living.

PERU AND CAVE

– Were you surprised by Peru’s non-classification to the World Cup?
– I thought Peru would qualify, but penalties are uncertain and many times it favors those who don’t deserve it. Peru can rest easy Gareca, his coaching staff and the players did everything they could or tried to achieve. Then firewood is made from the fallen tree. A penalty made the difference.

–An acquaintance of yours is Christian Cueva, with whom you worked in San Martín when you worked with Professor Cappa.
– A boy of superlative level. I remember him fondly, he is one of those players that I like to see play, because the different ones are the best.

–You are an admirer of the culture and history of Peru.
– From Latin America in general. I have a special feeling about Peru, it is a mystical, fantastic country, it has beautiful places, its people are beautiful. I am fascinated by the history of Tahuantinsuyo, of the Incas. I fondly remember that beautiful neighborhood of Barranco.

– Diego wrote the book from within, what is it about?
–It is the story of my experiences with Diego, the time I had the privilege of being with him in four World Cups, the Neapolitan saga and unforgettable moments. My life was condemned to be gray and boring, but Diego transformed it into a colorful and fantastic life.

– Are you encouraged to give a score in this final?
– No, but I think there can be many goals. There are players to give a show and hopefully the VAR does not have much influence because it is to complicate. Hopefully it will be a game that lives up to what a final means and that whoever deserves it wins.
