    PREMIER LEAGUE footballers often have strict diets but one superstar uses a special ingredient to get ahead.Broth – for soup, to use in rice or even to DRINK.Diogo Prego is a personal chef to a Manchester City starCredit: Instagram / @golden_chefs_Diogo quit his own restaurant and prefers life as a personal chefCredit: Instagram / @golden_chefs_His client’s favourite meal is a cod fish from PortugalCredit: Instagram / @golden_chefs_That is the ingredient one Manchester City star eats every day, often multiple times.His personal chef Diogo Prego is a big believer in the ingredient due to its health benefits, as he makes sure his client maintains a healthy diet.Diogo told SunSport: “It is always in the freezer and I use it for soup, to cook rice and even to drink. Beef broth is very healthy and full of collagen.”We use natural food like steaks, spinach, broccoli – all this healthy stuff.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”He does not eat sugar, we follow a healthy diet with lots of broth – broth that I prepare for him.”No sugar means thinking outside the box when making snacks and cookies.Diogo does his grocery shopping every day in Manchester’s Northern Quarter to ensure the City star always eats the freshest ingredients.The player he works for is a big fan of Poke bowls and Pad thai pre and post-match but his favourite is a cod dish from back home called Bacalhau à Brás – a mix of salt cod, potatoes, onions and eggs.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSThe City defender is also a fan of poke bowlsCredit: Instagram / @golden_chefs_Diogo always uses fresh ingredients to ensure a healthy dietCredit: Instagram / @golden_chefs_Diogo is proud he has opened up the Prem winner to new dishes although he still likes his cheat meals – burgers and pizzas.He continued: “Pre-match and post-match we need to do slow-absortion carbs, nice protein and fruits.Inside Man City’s £300MILLION new stadium upgrade with futuristic Etihad project to rival Anfield”Barley, homemade pasta. Post-match normally it is a poke bowl, it is full of omega three, carbs. It is great for recovery.”I prepare all the time homemade protein bars, homemade cookies without sugar. Immunity boosts which I batch cook.”Diogo was trained as a chef in Portugal and he quit a restaurant he owned for five years before getting to work with the City star.He is happy to have the hard work and long hours of restaurant life behind him and has become friends with his client, even going to concerts with him.However life working for a Prem star is not without its challenges.Diogo added: “The only thing that makes me cook a little more than I was expecting is Beef Wellington.

      My pal said ‘sorry about your dad’s dementia’… that was news to me, reveals Dean Windass’ son Josh

      by

      JOSH WINDASS revealed he only found out about his dad’s dementia from a Sheffield Wednesday team-mate while they were in a coffee shop.The attacking midfielder, 31, was oblivious that Hull and Bradford legend Dean Windass had been diagnosed with the condition until Owls defender Max Lowe unwittingly broke the news.Josh Windass reckons his dad being ‘a bit of a nutter’ make him popularCredit: GettyDean Windass, a cult hero with fans, has been diagnosed with dementiaCredit: GettyAnd Windass told SunSport: “I found out in a coffee shop. Max said, ‘Sorry to hear about your dad’s dementia’ and I thought, ‘Oh! That’s news to me!’”His dad’s diagnosis at the age of 55 was publicly revealed by former Manchester United and Blackburn star David May during a TV interview, with Windass’ blessing.It sparked an outpouring of love and support for one of the biggest English football characters of the 1990s and 2000s, who has more recently been a Sky Sports pundit.Windass Jr said: “He’s well loved within the football community. He’s a bit of a nutter and people like that about people.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL“I don’t think he’s struggling too badly. I speak sometimes to my brother, who is keeping tabs on him. He’s sound.“When news like this comes out people always think the worst. But it’s not a severe grade at the minute and he’s not having too many problems.“The first thing I asked was if he still knew my name and he did, so I didn’t ask him too many questions.”Windass Jr is chasing a second promotion with Sheffield WednesdayCredit: GettyHis dad did a national TV interview this week where he raised concerns about the perils of heading a football, which has been proven to increase the risk of developing the disease, and fears for his own son’s safety.Most read in ChampionshipWindass Jr scored the winning goal at Wembley with his head to clinch Wednesday’s promotion from League One in the play-off final against Barnsley in May 2023.Former Premier League star Dean Windass suffering from dementia as ex-Man Utd ace reveals diagnosis live on BBC And the Owls ace himself is passionate about raising awareness on how to prevent suffering from such conditions in later life.Research shows adopting a healthy, balanced diet can reduce the risk of dementia.Windass has a strict diet plan and last season enlisted the help of Tyson Fury’s nutritionist, Sheffield-based Greg Marriott, to help his recovery from an injury.And he said: “You don’t want anyone getting dementia or any other illness.“You want everyone on the planet to be healthy in an ideal world so it’s important to raise awareness to help people prevent it.“Even things like eating healthily. It’s not just for making you look good at the beach, it’s great for your lifestyle and health.“It’s something me and my missus speak a lot about — curriculums in schools, people don’t get taught enough about diet or illness and stuff like that. There needs to be more focus.“A lot of the stuff that gets people excited are the things you probably shouldn’t do such as drinking alcohol and eating bad food.“There’s a time and a place for that but it’s important to raise your kids especially to drink water, eat fruit and vegetables.“When you’re 50, I’ve seen people who go on all these diets and things — but by that point it’s a bit late.“I’m on the side of the fence that you can have a good time but our bodies are more important. People don’t take care of themselves as much as they should.”Windass even believes that a good diet could help stem the increase of mental illness cases that have been highlighted in recent years. He said: “If you’re eating and drinking things that are going to damage your brain then you’re not going to be the happiest person in the world.“If you can do little things that can help make you feel a bit better, you’re going to be happier and healthier.”Windass certainly would have been feeling more jubilant after scoring his first goal since New Year’s Day by snatching the all-important equaliser at Norwich on Tuesday as Wednesday roared back from 2-0 down to win 3-2.It was a crucial three points, hauling Danny Rohl’s men back into the play-off picture — and moving them to within just five points of the top six.Windass is set to feature in Sunday’s Steel City derby when bitter rivals Sheffield United make the three-and-half-mile trek across town to Hillsborough.That Wembley goal was nice — but a League One promotion isn’t something I talk about too much as it’s not such a big achievement.”Josh WindassHe has always thought the Owls needed to still be in the mix by the final whistle of the derby clash to stand a chance.Windass has scored 11 goals this season with nine games left — and he said: “I felt at the start I needed to score 15 from midfield for the team to have a successful season.”One of those strikes was a 60-yard worldie against Derby — which will surely win the goal of the season gong at the EFL awards.It was so good that pundits Paul Merson and Clinton Morrison rated it better than the famous one David Beckham scored from the halfway line for Manchester United against Wimbledon in 1996.It sparked a January bid from Brazilian club Santos — which was rejected.But Windass said: “I scored a better one last year against Blackburn!”He has been at Hillsborough for five years and is firmly established as a cult hero for his play-off winner — but he would dearly love to see the Yorkshire club win promotion to the Premier League.READ MORE SUN STORIESWindass said: “I guess that Wembley goal was nice — but a League One promotion isn’t something I talk about too much because it’s not such a big achievement.”A play-off final winner this year certainly would be.

      KSI’s team reveal new term for Jake Paul grudge fight to finally make £230million bout happen

      by

      KSI’s team have revealed the new terms they hope will finally get the Jake Paul fight to happen. The pair of YouTubers-turned-boxers have failed to deliver a blockbuster grudge bout – with the finger continuing to be pointed. KSI’s team have new terms to fight Jake PaulCredit: GettyJake Paul recently moved up to heavyweightCredit: GettyIn recent times, a difference in weight has stood in the way of the fight, which is valued at £230MILLION.Paul moved up to heavyweight for his last win- against Mike Tyson – and weighed a career-heaviest 227lb (16st 2lb). But he had been campaigning at the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb – which is still over ONE STONE heavier than KSI’s fight weight. The British superstar returns on March 29 in Manchester against Dillon Danis, 31, at a catchweight of 185lb (13st 1lb).READ MORE IN BOXINGAnd KSI’s manager Mams Taylor fears Paul is continuing to move the goalposts when it comes to meeting in the middle. Taylor told SunSport: “If Jake Paul doesn’t come to the table and make some compromise, then the fight’s not gonna happen because we’re not gonna keep going up in weight.”And look, Jake’s middle keeps changing. So now his middle ground is 192.5. The middle keeps going up for KSI.”KSI is like, ‘Alright, let me put on some weight and fight you at 180, 185.’ And now Jake’s like, ‘Well, no, I’m not gonna fight you at 185, I’ll fight you 192.5.’ Is what he’s saying.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”I bet you it’s part of a negotiation tactic for them. They’re not straight up about it, if KSI goes up to 192.5, they’re gonna be like, ‘Oh, we want it at 200.'”They’re not gonna fight KSI unless they have massive advantages and we just want to fight Jake without anyone having a distinct advantage or disadvantage. We want it to be a fair fight.Tommy Fury opens talks with Misfits Boxing over return fight with huge KSI rematch on the cards”It’s so much on the line I think, I think the bragging rights for that fight is worth more than the money and it’s a massive money fight too.”It’s a $300-$250 million (£230m) fight, it’s a massive fight. I don’t think there’s that many bigger pay-per-views than that.”Paul, 28, beat Tyson, 58, in their controversial fight in November as 100 MILLION tuned in on Netflix to watch. KSI, 31, meanwhile has not returned since losing a disputed points decision to Tommy Fury, 25, in October 2023. That was at a 183lb catchweight and Taylor believes fighting Paul at 187.5lb is a fresh compromise they hope the American will agree to. He said: “I think 187.5 is a bit uncomfortable for us and I think it’s a bit uncomfortable for him. And I think that’s the fair, new middle point. READ MORE SUN STORIES”I think that’s really what it is because if Jake says 200 and we say 175, that’s right in the middle there.”And listen, if Jake fights the top 10 boxer at 200 pounds, at the at the cruiserweight limit, let’s be honest, he’s not gonna have a good time.”KSI and Jake Paul clashing in the ring in 2020Credit: Getty Images – Getty More
