      Chelsea boss Graham Potter reveals what he is doing ‘to help him relax’ after morale-boosting Champions League win

      by

      GRAHAM POTTER admitted a weight has been lifted following victory in the Champions League – and turned to Elton John in relaxation. Chelsea beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 to progress into the quarter-finals, giving the club a much needed morale boost.

      Potter was asked if he listens to any songs to help him relax under pressure and he responded: “I’m still standing.”
      That is Sir Elton’s 1983 classic from his Too Low for Zero album.
      Chelsea travel to Leicester off the back of victory over Leeds at Stamford Bridge last weekend.
      But they remain in tenth, despite getting back to winning ways as Potter admitted a weight has been lifted with recent wins.

      He said: “Yes, in some ways.
      “It’s not something I get too bogged down with. I am the same as every Chelsea fan. It’s better if you win.
      “It’s really difficult to just play a game of football at whatever level and just come home and everything is fine.
      “That’s not to say I am a disaster zone around the family.”

      Chelsea are nine points off fourth-placed Tottenham and winning the Champions League could be their easiest route into next season’s competition.
      But Potter is refusing to prioritise the club’s European campaign to their dwindling league hopes.
      He said: “I understand the question, but I think it’s almost second guessing loads of things.
      “You can tie yourself in knots and ultimately football is just keep it simple. Next match, try to win.”

      Ripped Cristiano Ronaldo scoffs a football cake in his tiny boxers.. but fans see right through it

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO was fooling nobody as he posed in his pants while sat on a throne appearing to eat cake.Despite now being 38, the Portuguese legend remains in incredible shape due to his eating, exercise routine and sleep and rest following his explosive exit from Manchester United in December.

      We revealed last week how Ronaldo has raised training and nutrition standards since arriving at Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.
      He has just been named the Saudi Pro League player of the month after scoring eight goals and producing two assists in four appearances throughout February.
      With form like that, few would begrudge him a cheat day, but supporters were having none of it as he posted the latest advert for his CR7 boxers.
      The photo showed his ripped physique sitting in a throne in only his underwear, and he appeared to be tucking into a huge slice of a football cake.

      Ronaldo captioned it with: “Turn your hunger to win into your greatest strength.#CR7 #DEARYS7NS #CR7UNDERWEAR #GLUTTONY.”
      But his followers saw right through it, with one reply saying: “There’s no way he’d eat that cake… Diet is very important…”

      Another commented: “We know he didn’t eat that cake because he avoids foods that harm him. The man is a legend.”
      As we revealed previously, Ronaldo leads the most disciplined of lifestyles but can eat up to SIX meals a day, with fish a big part of his diet.

      Swordfish, tuna and braised cod are particular favourites.
      He regards chicken as ‘magical’ due to its high protein and low fat content.
      For breakfast Ronaldo will eat egg or ham and cheese and low-fat yoghurt and if he doesn’t have it for brekkie, the now Al-Nassr forward will wolf down avocado toast for snacks during the day.
      Lunch No1 could consist of chicken and salad, while No2 might be fish – maybe tuna with salad, eggs and olives.
      Dinner will see the ace, who was released by Manchester United in December after an explosive interview with Piers Morgan, fill his boots with meat or fish, maybe breaking them up in two separate sittings.
      Steak, swordfish or the Lisbon speciality of Bacalao a la Brasa – a mixture of braised cod, onions, thinly sliced potatoes and scrambled eggs should see him through till bedtime. More

      However, 22-year-old Palmeiras defender Menino, who was previously linked with Chelsea, has also tried to follow suit.
      But speaking to Palmeiras Cast, he revealed just how difficult it was to emulate the superstar.
      Menino revealed: “I called Mirtes, Palmeiras’ nutritionist, and asked her to make me a Cristiano Ronaldo diet. I wanted to look like Cristiano Ronaldo.
      “The diet was like this: breakfast was an egg and supplement. Pre-workout was a supplement, lunch could be grilled and salad. For breakfast it was more supplement, for dinner, again, grilled meat and salad, and before going to bed another supplement. That was it.
      “I was warming up and couldn’t take any more running. I just thought, ‘I’m going to die.’ Five minutes into the game, I couldn’t run anymore, I would need to be substituted.
      “She [Mirtes] saw from above that I was not well. She asked the masseur to bring me gel and isotonic.”
      Although Menino freely admits his struggles to stick with the strict regime, it is still paying for the veteran Ronaldo.
      He has just been named the Saudi Pro League player of the month after scoring eight goals and producing two assists in four appearances throughout February.
      He will next lead out Al-Nassr at home to Al-Batin on Friday.

      I scored on Marcus Rashford’s Man Utd debut… then l went on a diet of only fruit and saw pure darkness

      by

      FEBRUARY 25 will always be remembered as the date Marcus Rashford announced himself to the world.The Man Utd ace netted a brace for the Red Devils as a fresh-faced 18-year-old making his debut, and has barely looked back since.

      But on that evening at Old Trafford, another young talent also showed he had the ability to reach the very highest level.
      Winger Pione Sisto had netted a week earlier as FC Midtjylland took a 2-1 lead into the second leg.
      And he brought the Danish side to the brink of qualification when he scored a stunning solo goal by beating Daley Blind and makeshift centre-back Michael Carrick all ends up.
      Rashford’s brace then turned the game on its head as Man Utd ran out 5-1 winners on the night.

      But La Liga side Celta Vigo had seen enough of Sisto to complete a £4.4m deal to sign him.
      With Celta having a proven track record of bringing through Scandinavian players, the future looked made for Sisto.
      And in his first season he helped the Galicians reach the Europa League semi-final, where they were narrowly beaten on aggregate by Jose Mourinho’s Man Utd.
      International call-ups would follow with Denmark, but that was where things would start to go wrong.

      Sisto claimed he was “the most hated person in Denmark” following his performances at the 2018 World Cup, drawing further criticism from the media.
      But things would take a stranger turn a year later when Sisto decided to go on a fruit-only diet to explore “his subconscious mind”.
      In a video he posted on a special Instagram account, he said that the 21-day diet had made him “a little crazy”.
      He said: “I did break the fast, because it got really intense.
      “The cleansing part of it, the detox part, really started to show up. What happened was I was diving deeper into my subconscious mind.
      “Everything that you see, touch, smell, taste, all gets stored in the subconscious mind.
      “In order to see what happens in the subconscious mind, it can be done by fasting.
      “And what happened to me was I started to see what was really going on and I lost control.
      “I really did. I lost control of all the thoughts and all the emotion that started to show up and I started going a little bit crazy, honestly.”
      Sisto then explained his theory to hopeful footballers that while their conscious mind may have the desire to become professionals, it is only the subconscious mind that can make the ambition a reality.
      He added: “The subconscious mind is darkness. It’s pure darkness.”
      The fruit-only diet would leave Sisto too weak to train with Celta in the middle of a relegation battle.
      Matters were then compounded when he drove over 1800 miles back to Denmark during lockdown in 2020, leading to a club record £53,000 fine from Celta and his sale back the following summer.
      Sisto, who was born in Uganda to South Sudanese parents, would also reveal in May that year that he was subjected to racist abuse following the 2018 World Cup.
      Midtjylland would beat FC Copenhagen in a dramatic £2.65m battle as they lured the winger back to the club where it all began.

      Upon rejoining them, Sisto said: “It was my heart. My heart suddenly chose to go to FC Midtjylland. I found that it has always been my wish, but sometimes one gets tested.”
      He added that he was “a fan of intelligence” and “there will always be pressure when you are Pione”.

      Clubs across the English Football League offer advice on diet and weight loss to footie followers who want to shed excess weight.
      Nutrition and fitness experts come into the clubs for an initial 12-week programme before the fans take part in community activities.

      IT project manager Jonathan Sutcliffe, 39, has lost more than two stone since joining the Bradford City get-fit scheme.
      He said: “I’ve got two boys and before I didn’t have the energy to play football with them.
      “Now I can’t wait to kick a ball about with them.
      “The scheme has helped me with my overall well-being and I’ve even gone down one or two sizes when it comes to my clothes.
