Jose Mourinho imposes strict new rules at Real Madrid with harsh fines. The days when the nutritionist was at the players' service are also over; now it's the other way around. They no longer eat what they want, but what they are told.

"Mourinho has eliminated the €200 or €300 fines for being late to training because he considers them ridiculous for people who earn millions," Diaz explained. The manager has also changed expectations surrounding injured players, as recovery is no longer something players will manage independently away from the club whenever they choose. "The days of getting injured and recovering wherever you please are over, and if you need to continue your recovery in the afternoon, you work at Valdebebas," explains the senior journalist Furthermore, nutrition has come under similar scrutiny. Rather than players deciding what they want to eat, Mourinho has placed greater emphasis on following the club's nutritional instructions.   submitted by   /u/SwimmingFireMen [link]   [comments]
