Spanish national team nutritionist Tozcana Villar discussed the dietary habits of players, highlighting Yamal and Mikel Merino among others.
She stated that both the national team and clubs employ professional nutritional staff who carefully tailor players' diets to their individual physical requirements and match demands.
When asked in a rapid-fire interview with La Vanguardia which player was most attentive to their diet, Villar said many on the team were disciplined, but if she had to single one out, she would mention Merino.
Regarding who makes the most unusual requests, Villar said this was uncommon, but she felt Marc Cucurella stood out in this regard.
Speaking about the team's overall eating habits, she said there were no particularly "greedy" players, as everyone adhered to nutritional requirements: "Everyone eats a lot, but they eat more when needed, and they eat what they should."
Villar also noted that Llorente is the most knowledgeable about nutrition. As for player complaints, she said they were almost non-existent, partly because the team was already accustomed to discipline and following rules: "We don't let them complain."
Regarding diet planning, she explained that no foods are absolutely forbidden; instead, recommendations are based on performance needs. However, she specifically highlighted sweet potatoes as one of the team's most important foods: "This is one of our star foods."
When asked how Yamal usually eats, Villar replied: "He eats very well, just like everyone else. Everyone is very professional and knows what they should do. Honestly, I have nothing to complain about."
