00:00Memphis Depay was one of Corinthians' key players in recent years, proving decisive in important titles such as the Championship.
00:06Paulista, Copa do Brasil and Supercopa Rei.
00:10The striker arrived at the club after being sidelined for two months due to a grade 2 injury suffered in
00:15semi-final of Euro 2024 against England.
00:19At Corinthians, he began a specific program to regain his physical fitness for the game and then get back into rhythm.
00:26On this Physical Education Teacher's Day, Lance spoke exclusively with Diego Pereira, the physical trainer who worked with the number 10 jersey.
00:34Dutchman at Corinthians and today is part of their individual preparation team.
00:39I had the pleasure of working with Memphis during my time at Corinthians in 2024 and 2025, where he came...
00:48two months without playing.
00:50His last appearance had been in the semi-final against England in the European Championship, and he was coming off a grade 1 injury.
00:592 in that semi-final, where they lost to England.
01:03So, I had to do progressive work, individualized work to minimize muscle strength imbalances.
01:10where we managed to achieve this balance and progressively free him up for controlled minutes and gain confidence, maximizing the
01:22that which is his best quality.
01:24And without a doubt, this partnership began back in 2024, when I managed to get him into peak physical condition.
01:35I believe, ever since he arrived in Brazil.
01:38And perhaps that was the reason he invited me to start a job after the World Cup.
01:45individualized with him.
01:46And Memphis is a very high-level athlete, a world-class athlete, and I believe he is...
01:52Perhaps at the peak of his career.
01:55Not only physically, but technically and mentally as well.
01:59So, I think that perhaps Memphis' biggest advantage, besides their physical attributes, is also a far superior winning mentality.
02:06of the average.
02:06Without a doubt, when you already know the athlete, you're one step ahead.
02:11You become familiar with their eating habits, and you can even start to identify aspects related to sleep quality.
02:18So, often you plan one thing and depending on the quantity and quality of sleep,
02:24You can recreate a strategy or adapt a workout that was planned.
02:29So, without a doubt, the more detailed and richer your training, the more qualified the work becomes, the more skilled.
02:37The training continues.
02:38And without a doubt, the results are much better.
02:41And there
02:41And there
02:41Let's go.
