London.- Italian Antonio Conte was announced a few days ago as Tottenham’s new manager, and drew attention for being late for his first press conference prior to a Premier League match. Later, as he explained to the subscription sports website The Athletic, this was due to a change in the dynamics of the team, which includes more intense training, game reviews, and above all, the application of a rigorous diet for his players.
Players have had to alter their diet to help their fitness on the field. Conte “has revolutionized the nutrition of the club,” says The Athletic, because some of the footballers are over the ideal weight. For this, decisions have had to be made such as eliminating sandwiches after training (a very common situation in the team), as well as ketchup and mayonnaise, these two “absolutely forbidden”. Even the juices have been eliminated, everything that is cooked with oil and butter, although of course, the technician does expect the players to eat more fruit.
According to The Athletic, within Tottenham “there is a vision that the players have learned more with Conte in one week than with Nuno Espirito Santo in four months.”
The media also cites the sayings of defender Sergio Reguilón, who pointed out that “one can see that the team is more aggressive and competitive on the field. We believe in the things we practice in the training field, that is the way. We have a lot to do. learning with Conte is incredible. “
