Annunciation Berrettini, speaking this time is not the tennis player who is trying to regain his best form but his mental coach. Here’s what he said
Stefano Massari is Matteo Berrettini’s mental coach. Yes, this is also needed in the world of Sports in these years, and the blue tennis player is not the only one who has relied on an expert in this field.
In the past years, in fact, we also remember Leonardo Bonucci, who more than once spoke about this very important figure for his professional career. Pure Berrettini, in short, needs such a character, such a figure. And, interviewed by Fan Page, Massari explained the work he does, and especially talked about what has happened to Matteo in the last period. The shenanigans, even resounding ones, were quite a few.
Berrettini announcement, Massari’s words
“With Matteo at this stage I do a different work not related to the field, but inherent to his desire for knowledge with readings, films, which is a part that we have always taken care of so much and that we are now following exclusively. My human relationship with him is always one of great love and affection, the professional one has transformed. I have a high regard and esteem for Matteo as a human being. I am convinced that if he is well, physically, he has every chance to return to the highest level. “
Then the subject of Berrettini’s criticism of his private life was obviously touched upon. Which, without a shadow of a doubt, very often exceeded the limit of decency: “Today’s champions are subjected to pressures that those of 20-30 years ago did not even dream of because there is a paradoxical development of social. A champion has to learn how to handle this, and it is very difficult. We live in a wild world, in the worst sense of the word. You risk being mauled, and even in this Matteo Berrettini had great fortitude, because obnoxious things have been said and written against him. An insult to humankind, we are talking about the only Italian tennis player who reached the final at Wimbledon, one who paved a way for other colleagues. There is no gratitude toward him, but only bar opinions in the majority on social.” Hard, in this case, to blame him.
