heart, cow liver, filtered water and dad’s lasagna- Corriere.it

The obsessive attention to detail is the peculiarity of the samples. Above all the attention to nutrition. Erling Haaland knows something about it, the boy breaking records who scores in an avalanche without stopping, to the happiness of Manchester City and its coach, Pep Guardiola. Lasagna brings good luck to Pap Alfie on the eve of every match, everything has already been said. But now the Norwegian striker is thinking about revealing another secret.

First of all, he has repeatedly admitted to having adopted the Cristiano Ronaldo model to heal his body. Haaland aims to eat healthy and train hard. Mission accomplished: the muscle growth he had in Germany, in the Bundesliga, in the experience at Borussia Dortmund, confirms this. Secondly, the champion of the Citizens, in a documentary entitled Haaland: The Big Decision, told the background on his diet. Its daily requirement provides for the beauty of about 6 thousand calories.

To get to what is necessary, Haaland uses not only chicken, pasta, fish, vegetables without oil and salt, but also other things: pieces of heart and cow liver. You don’t eat these things, but I worry about taking care of my body. I think that eating quality food that is as local as possible (a reference to the possibility of closely following the production chain, ed), is the most important thing. People say meat is bad, but which one? The meat you make fun of? Or the local cow eating grass right nearby? I eat the heart and the liver, Haaland said. No snags even in liquid substances. No sugary drinks, just water, the one filtered by a complex system that returns the best possible quality: I started filtering the water I drink. I think it can have great benefits for my body.

Without forgetting the care of the body, like ice baths and sun exposure as soon as you wake up in the morning. Situations that are very reminiscent of the training and sacrifices that Cristiano Ronaldo undergoes and that have allowed him to be one of the best in the world. And Haaland has no goals. So much to smash record after record: 15 Premier League goals in 9 games (one goal every 50 ‘) and 3 goals in 5 Champions League games (one every 41’). And just the beginning.
