That’s according to a report in ESPN published this morning.

Conte, who parted company with Tottenham over the weekend, is particular about the diet that his players follow(ed).

And, according to ESPN, the former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager was hugely impressed by how diligent 27-year-old Denmark international midfielder Hojbjerg was with his diet.

The report has stated that the Tottenham midfielder “is particularly diligent with his diet in the training ground canteen — an example Conte urged other players to follow having initially believed too many players indulged themselves with unhealthy meal choices.”

Impressive

In our view, that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg eats well and healthy is very impressive, and we believe that it is something that all Tottenham players should follow.

In fact, all professional footballers, especially those at the elite level, need to take care of their diet.

Football has progressed and evolved over the years.

Players are now ‘athletes’.

The margin of error is very, very tiny.

Players, such as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, are doing so well at the moment is because of how they take care of their body.

Hojbjerg has made 27 appearances in the Premier League for Tottenham so far this season.
