Scrambled egg without yolk, almonds, dried fruit, avocado and whole-grain toast for breakfast and snack. If he has lunch, usually at the club, he doesn’t have dinner. Chicken, mainly, with salad as the main course.
Emiliano Vecchio’s diet is sacred. Also, your training routine. In fact, they were surprised in the Racing coaching staff, when he arrived less than a month ago to join the squad led by Fernando Gago. It is no coincidence that he has lost five kilos. He is at the optimal weight because he set out, as he said on Sunday, following his magnificent performance once morest Aldosivi, “be 10 points”. Because that is what the challenge he took on when he came to Mozart and Corbatta demands it.

Vecchio worked thoroughly on the machines that the Magician patented with the aim of measuring the power and resistance of soccer players. In fact, in his gym in Rosario there are several soccer players from Newell’s and Central who intersperse his routine, always under the supervision of the club’s teachers, of course.
“Emiliano took this as a revenge in the good sense of the word, he prepared a lot to arrive at that physical level. It is a phenomenon, when something arises in the head, he does it. The objectives that he sets for himself, he will undoubtedly achieve them,” Grazzini told Clarion.
The 41-year-old former footballer, who played 34 games and scored 5 goals in the Academia During 2009 and 2010, he said that he forced his friend to reach the light blue and white sidewalk of Avellaneda. “A little while ago I graduated as a technician and Ezequiel Videla works with me. I remember that we met in a cafe and it was just said that he might play in Independiente. ‘How’s Red going to go?’, we told him. Luckily, he signed with Racing”, he slipped between laughs.
Vecchio he trained conscientiously for two weeks in the center specialized in the activation of fast fibers that Grazzini has. He was advised by two physical trainers, Franco Susco and Emanuel Lillini. Later, it was time to enter the orbit of Gago’s coaching staff, which has Roberto Luzzi in charge of the comprehensive preparation, seconded by Angel Federico Trídico.
“Both Fernando (Gago) and the entire coaching staff are very demanding physically. I understood that to play at the rhythm of Racing one has to be 10 points physically. They have made me feel very good. And I thank the teachers because it is not easy at my age, almost 34 years old, ”Vecchio said on the field of play, a little while following his participation in three of the five goals that the Academia scored once morest Aldosivi. One of them, the first, of his authorship. He had plenty of rest to be the great figure: 20 minutes into the second half he was replaced by Jonathan Gómez.
According to those who are close to Vecchio, “He is very involved and focused on Racing. He wants to leave his mark”. His wife and his children stayed in Rosario because it was a problem for him to get the kids out of school in the middle of the year. Generally, he travels on his days off. 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 that he cannot give advantages from the physical. Especially, due to Gago’s demand. “I told him that I was coming to a hard-working group, with a way of living together and training. I made it clear to him that there are no undisputed headlines. I thought that he was going to fit in quickly because of the desire and the desire that he shows, ”said the coach. And he was not wrong.
Grazzini defined it in one sentence: “He rewinds the play for himself and plays two seconds before the rest”. It will depend on your perseverance to maintain such a level.
