      Why is ketchup banned by Premier League football teams as Steven Gerrard reveals Antonio Conte is not alone in food rule

      by

      STEVEN Gerrard announced this week that Aston Villa have compleley banned ketchup in a bid to improve player health and fitness.This comes after the news that new Tottenham boss Antonio Conte had banned all condiments and fizzy drinks.

      Some players won’t be happy with the decision, and may well be left asking…
      Why is ketchup banned in Premier League teams?
      A number of coaches have argued that ketchup contributes to poor fitness levels.
      Fabio Capello and Paolo Di Canio have also banned it in the past.
      Despite this extreme approach, Rick Miller, a London-based clinical sports dietitian, has actually argued that it is not a big issue.
      He said:ā€œFrankly, itā€™s one of the least problematic issues in a professional footballersā€™ diet.
      ā€œAllowing high-quality condiments can enhance the taste of blander foods and encourage healthier eating habits.ā€
      Former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood slammed Conte for the ban.

      He said: “Well, donā€™t underestimate banning ketchup and mayo because they will all of a sudden start passing the ball to each other and scoring loads of goals.
      ā€œItā€™s normally the secret. No, what a load of nonsense.ā€
      No matter how extreme the Italian’s methods appear to be, there is no denying that they have been successful in the past.
      He has won six major trophies throughout his managerial career, including titles at Juventus, Chelsea and Inter.
      Perhaps his dietary demands are the sauce of his success… More

      But one fight between former NBA and NFL stars Deron Williams and Frank Gore has been announced.
      The pair will clash in a four-round heavyweight bout.

      What has been said?
      Jake Paul: “It’s finally official. Timothy had no choice but to sign the contract so he could finally pay his bar tabs, afford a shirt for the club, and stop living off Molly.
      “December 18 in Tampa Bay I’m changing this w***er’s name to Tommy Fumbles and celebrating with Tom Brady.
      “Pucker up Timmy… it’s time to kiss your last name and your family’s boxing legacy goodbye.”
      Tommy Fury: “This is an easy fight for me. A real easy fight. I’ve been doing this job since I was 7.
      “He’s not a boxer. He’s gonna see that when we fight.
      “I will end his boxing career. Thereā€™s no more Jake Paul after we fight. Thatā€™s it.” More

      ā€œItā€™s going to be fireworks for sure. Itā€™s going to be something you canā€™t miss. Donā€™t go get your popcorn or anything like that during this fight. This is another tough task, but this is what Iā€™m made for.ā€
      But Cruz believes he has the beating of Davis.
      ā€œIā€™m ready to put on a show,” he said. “There were a wide array of feelings when I knew I got this fight, but most of all, it made me really motivated to be ready for this opportunity.
      ā€œWe are not overconfident in any way, but Gervonta has not fought anyone with my style and with my characteristics.
      “Weā€™re working really hard to make sure my style will work the best that it can.” More
