Ademola Lookman has revealed the secret behind his impressive goal scoring form for Serie A side, Atalanta this season, reports Prompt News.
Lookman joined La Dea from Bundesliga club, RB Leipzig for €9 last summer.
The winger has settled down well in his new environment as he has become the leading marksman for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.
The Nigeria international has scored 11 goals in 19 league appearances.
Lookman revealed a number of things that has changed for him which has reflected in his impressive displays for Atalanta.
“Mentality, preparation,” he told The Times.
“My routine is a lot different to what it was. Everything’s focused on helping me perform. I watch interviews with people who are doing well in life like Jay-Z, someone at the top of the world who I can learn from. Jay-Z has come from basically nothing and is now a billionaire. That takes more than desire and guts, it takes execution and a plan, direction and confidence.
“I’ve started eating a lot of plain foods like white pasta, like more fish. That’s my diet. No sauce. Some vegetables. Sleep’s very important, trying to get in eight hours.
“After games, I’ll do recovery, maybe going into the cryochamber, doing some upper body [work], some stretching. As long as I’m doing everything I can in my power, and not cutting corners, the rest is up to God. Faith gives me that extra bit of hope and confidence.”
