That they should not consume alcohol days before matches, that pizza is the number one enemy of the diet of every professional footballer, that care must be taken down to the smallest detail of preparation to succeed in the major leagues of world football. .
Yes and no. Or better yet, don’t try to do this at home! The reality is that there are many players who challenge nutritionists and sports experts and have the most curious habits before playing a high-demand game.
This was confirmed by Ritchie De Laet, Jamie Vardy’s former teammate, who made unexpected confessions about one of the biggest stars in the Premier League: Jamie Vardy, from Leicester.
“As a professional footballer, you know when you can go out and have a drink and certainly not when. But Jamie is the exception, par excellence … he can drink pints (beers) and eat pizza on the eve of matches, and still be fine. A couple of beer cans in the trunk of his car, and Vardy would be happy, “he commented.
Do you try? According to De Laet a hitherto unknown episode marked the night before the striker broke Van Nistelrooy’s record of consecutive days scoring in the Premier League: “In 2016, he broke Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record by scoring 11 games. Well, the night before we were in our hotel room, we got the team driver to buy us a bottle of Porto wine and hid it in our room, I drank a small glass and he took the rest of the bottle. the next day he broke the record. What a phenomenon, he really is a great guy. “
Beer and pizza before giving a display on the track. Only Vardy, no doubt …
