The obsession with diet in the Llorente family has passed from generation to generation. Probably, the diet of
sbo888uncle Paco Gento, the creator of the drama, was from the 1950s. His unrivalled speed came installed because there was nothing disgusting in a good steak.The asceticism of diet was cultivated by older nephew Jou, who carried on to his brother Paco Llorente, nicknamed The Lettuce, an unheard of name in a team of veterans in the era of the Vulture, such as the Agonies, the Tame, the Toddler.Journalism at the time had an obsession with The Lettuce when, in pre-season in between a morning and midday training session, Paco crossed the cafeteria at the training ground with a watermelon under his arm. He sliced it and put it between his
sbo888 chest and his back.This journalist even saw Paco take his own food to a wedding in a Tupperware; it was one of his peculiarities, such as bathing in iced water. There is a story that he broke the ice on a pool in Norway after a game for Real Madrid and dived in, with the onwatching Santillana thinking he was committing suicide.Now it is his son Marcos, grandson of the great Ramon Grosso, who lives the profession like a priest more than an obsessive, because time has shown that his father and his uncle were ahead of their age: it's about training well and eating even better.Whenever people talk about the strengths of Marcos Llorente, they talk about his Palaeolithic diet. But nobody comes to play in Real Madrid's midfield just by eating protein and dried fruit, and going without pizza
