Revealed: Why Fiorentina players eat sushi after every game
“Players take some liquid food within 30 minutes of the end of each game. Smoothies are made up of carbohydrates and proteins and each one of those vary according to the physical structure of each player as well as their roles.”
“Defenders, goalkeepers, strikers and midfielders do not have the same metabolism.”
“After the shower, they have solid food. We’ve recently been giving them some sushi because it combines carbohydrates of rice and proteins of fish.”
“When it comes to recovering from injuries, we prefer giving players a new diet rather than pills and or other medicines. That’s one of the reason why we invented the beetroot ice cream."
