Throughout his career, Dani Carvajal had numerous physical problems that have hindered him and made him miss several important games, as he himself confessed in his last interview for the Universo Valdano program.

The Real Madrid defender, though, has already demonstrated a superb physical level during the last season and at the start of this season. He is like a bull, in one of the best moments of his career, playing a lengthy stretch of games without being injured and putting on excellent performances. And that is all because of a change in his diet.

"I eliminated gluten from my diet completely. I'm not intolerant but it causes inflammation, since then everything has changed. I think since then I had a problem with my soleus for 10 days after the World Cup. They are the worst for an athlete, without a doubt, and from here I recommend that people going through these times try to find ways out because there are many ways," revealed Carvajal, who also stressed the need to reduce the calendar to avoid injuries.

"You have a Champions League match, you arrive at dawn and in 48 hours you have another match. We are at the limit, and we are getting more and more matches. There is going to be a Club World Cup with more teams, a Euro Cup with more teams. With four days of training it's rare that your body doesn't suffer and you don't get injured. I understand that sometimes you have to generate more, but I think you have to reduce the quantity and increase the quality," said the Real Madrid player.
