The rigorous plan that allowed the Vecchio to “score 10 points” on a physical and footballing level

Scrambled egg without yolk, almonds, dried fruit, avocado and wholemeal toast for breakfast and snack. If he has lunch, usually at the club, he doesn’t have dinner. Chicken, mainly, with salad as a main dish.

Emiliano Vecchio’s diet is sacred. Plus, your workout routine. They were in fact surprised in the Racing technical staff when he arrived less than a month ago to join the squad led by Fernando Gago. It is no coincidence that he lost five kilos. He is at the optimum weight because he proposed, as he said on Sunday, after his magnificent performance against Aldosivi, “be 10 points”. Because this is the challenge he took up when he came to Mozart and Corbatta demands it.

With a sturdy build, Vecchio tries to keep his figure. After his departure from Rosario Central, driven by his relationship with Leandro Somoza, which was not bad but it was “Lack of feeling”According to those close to him, the 33-year-old midfielder has decided to return to the great football scene. And since he had the pass in his possession, he trained at MAG Power, Sebastián Grazzini’s training center. Yes, another hitch that he was able to wear the Racing shirt.

Vecchio worked extensively on the machines that the Magician patented with the aim of measuring the power and endurance of the players. In fact, in his gym in Rosario, there are several players from Newell’s and Central who alternate their routine, always under the supervision of the club’s teachers, of course.

Emiliano took it as a revenge in the good sense of the word, he prepared a lot to get to that physical level. It is a phenomenon, when something arises in the head, it does. The goals it sets itself will undoubtedly reach them, “said Grazzini Clarione.

The 41-year-old former footballer, who played 34 games and scored 5 goals in the Academy During 2009 and 2010 he said he forced his friend to reach the blue and white sidewalk of Avellaneda. “A little while ago I graduated as a technician and Ezequiel Videla works with me. I remember we met in a bar and it was said that I could play in Independiente. “How will Red go?”, we told him. Luckily he signed with Racing ”, he slipped between laughter.

Old he trained conscientiously for two weeks in the center specializing in the activation of fast fibers available to Grazzini. He was advised by two physical trainers, Franco Susco and Emanuel Lillini. Then it was time to enter the orbit of Gago’s technical staff, which has Roberto Luzzi at the head of the global training, flanked by Angel Federico Trídico.

“Both Fernando (Gago) and the entire coaching staff are very physically demanding. I understood that to play at the pace of Racing you need to be physically 10 points. They made me feel very good. And I thank the masters because it’s not easy at my age, almost 34, ”said Vecchio on the pitch, shortly after his participation in three of the five goals that the Academy scored against Aldosivi. One of them, the first, of his paternity. He had a lot of rest for being the great figure: On 20 minutes of the second half he was replaced by Jonathan Gómez.

According to those close to the Elder, “He is very involved and focused on racing. You want to make your mark“. His wife and his children stayed in Rosario because it was a problem for him to get the children out of school in the middle of the year. Generally, he travels on his days off of him. The rest he spends in Buenos Aires and takes advantage of the gym where he lives so as not to miss a beat.

He knows he can’t take advantage of the physique. Above all, due to Gago’s request. “I told him I was coming to a group with a lot of work, with a way of living together and training. I made him understand that there are no undisputed titles. I thought he would adapt quickly because of the desire and the desire he shows, “said the coach. And he was not wrong.

Grazzini defined it in one sentence: “Rewinds the game by itself and plays two seconds before the rest”. It will depend on your perseverance to maintain that level.
