One of the key areas that Pedri has focused on is his diet. Speaking to F\u00fatbol Fiesta (via Sport<\/a>), he revealed that he has started intermittent fasting, following advice received from Barcelona and Spain teammate Ferran Torres.<\/p>\n \u201cHe encouraged me to try it\u00a0and the truth is that I feel much better since then so,\u00a0for the moment, I am going to continue with it. I eat two meals a day, lunch and dinner. We have a good breakfast only on matchdays. I only drink water, because it is essential to maintain good hydration.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s very difficult for me to resist the ham croquettes that my mother makes. I only try them on occasion after a game.\u00a0I\u2019ll have time to eat as many as I want when I retire!\u201d<\/p>\n Pedri had struggled a lot with injuries before Flick\u2019s arrival, particularly those involving his hamstrings. However, he has turned a corner over the last 15 months, and he revealed that strength training has played a big part in his ability to avoid suffering strains or tears in his muscles.<\/p>\n \u201cWe found the key in the physical preparation that I lacked to try to avoid, as far as possible, injuries. (Strength training) helps to avoid injuries \u2013 it is what enhances starts, improves turns\u2026 It means that I can enjoy what I like the most: playing football.\u201d<\/p>\n Barcelona will be desperate to ensure that Pedri continues staying fit, as he will be relied upon throughout this season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Pedri reveals secret behind spectacular Barcelona form – “He encouraged me to try it”<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Barcelona midfielder Pedri has been one of the best footballers in the world since the start of the 2024-25 season, when Hansi Flick…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2647,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2645"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2645"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2645\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2648,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2645\/revisions\/2648"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/levante-ud-v-fc-barcelona-laliga-ea-sports-min-scaled.jpg\")
