Moise Kean confirms he has been on a strict diet and exercise regime to lose 6kg and find his form at Juventus. ‘I thank the coach, who never lacked for patience in explaining things to me.’
The 22-year-old Italy international has found the net four times in as many Serie A games, including this evening’s brace, earned with a lob over on-rushing Ivan Provedel and on the rebound from a parried Filip Kostic strike.
Arkadiusz Milik rounded out the result in the final minute by meeting Federico Chiesa’s assist.
In his post-match interview, Max Allegri praised Kean for working hard on his fitness, losing 6kg from last season.
“I got to work and it went well, I’ve been training really hard in recent months and also went on a diet,” Kean told DAZN.
“I had to stop eating certain things. I realised it was the best thing to do.”
He refused to say what he had given up, but insisted chocolate was not one of the now banned substances from his menu.
“I thank the coach, who never lacked for patience in explaining things to me, stopping with me after training to show the right movements. I do try to understand what he wants from me, even if I need it explained a few times.”
After Rafael Leao for Milan and Christian Pulisic at Chelsea, this evening Kean too did the ‘Griddy’ dance as his goal celebration.
“A friend of mine in America invented it for the NBA and NFL players.”
Juventus climbed into third place with a run of six consecutive Serie A victories, so are they in the running for the Scudetto?
“It’s too early to think about that, we need to just take it one game at a time and keep putting together results.”
you can tell he’s lost weight, he was a bit cubby around his waist, good that he’s performing, hope it continues, he need to be more sharper
As a professional athlete, a strict diet should be a no-brainer.
Why do you need to be told to diet, or focus?
Absolutely baffling.
LOL so he admits he`s a nutcase:
“even if I need it explained a few times.”
