Declan Rice covers Men’s Health and exposes the stunning nutritional secret behind the success of Arsenal athlete

Declan Rice recently said in an interview that it is “their turn” to see England claim a major championship in the run-up to the European Championships next month. As England tries to compete in Germany, the player—who paid £105 million for a trade from West Ham to Arsenal last summer—has been in extraordinary form and is regarded as a consistent component of Gareth Southgate’s squad. Though their limited near escape from beating Italy in the 2021 Wembley final suggests otherwise, Southgate’s team is generally anticipated to win the tournament.

Rice, however, stated in an interview with Me𝑏’s Health UK that the team’s potential is even more remarkable three years from now.  Rice asserted, “You must have confidence in your own abilities to succeed, especially with the team and players we have, and everyone in excellent condition.” This is our opportunity, and I am of the opinion that the time is now. Do you have any rationale for your stance? 

“Our management and support staff are exceptional, and they are a delightful group to travel with.” This summer, we have the capacity to accomplish something truly extraordinary.

As he posed for many pictures, the 25-year-old midfielder seemed absolutely relaxed. The cover of the publication mostly shows Rice’s interview.

Rice said had “complete confidence” in his ability to thrive under Mikel Arteta and that he got his transfer from east London under the same feelings he had about his hefty transfer cost.

Rice went on, “I got bought for a big amount of money.” I was aware of my skill as a player. I was completely certain that I could have an effect. 

“People no longer discuss the price.” It was a large sum of money, of course. The fans will decide if I can justify it.

“You can do all the gym work in the world, lift all the weights, do all the legwork, but you have to be mentally really strong,” says Rice, who views confidence as one of his greatest strengths. Self-assurance is really crucial. 

Regularly scoring seven or eight out of ten each week is, in my opinion, most crucial. One finds great importance in the mind. The manager of Arsenal, Arteta, has spoken with us about how our minds work. It’s easy to withdraw into oneself whether you make a poor pass or drop the ball and let the opposition score. Still, I have learnt to move on from my mistakes.

Rice also revealed one nutritional secret fuelling Arsenal's impressive Premier League title tilt

In the interview, Rice also revealed one of Arsenal’s best-kept dietary secrets: the pancakes the team makes, which the midfielder says a lot of players eat to stay energized.

Before a game, I eat four pancakes. drenched in honey or syrup. It really is the best thing, I promise to God. Rice took note.

“What is going on here?” was the first thing that sprang to mind when I saw the Arsenal players eating them when I first joined the club. To be honest though, it has changed the game. 

Though I have no idea what they contain or how they function scientifically, they truly provide me a great surge of energy. That helps to explain why I can float about the pitch so much.

Sometimes, when we start at 5:30 p.m., I may have up to eight pancakes in a day. I had some more about 3.30 p.m. after breakfast before we start.

It remains to be seen whether nutritional gains will be enough to show the difference on the last day of the season as Arteta’s team’s amazing title chase with Manchester City draws to an end. 

Although Man City loses to West Ham and Arsenal defeats Everton, the Gunners still have a chance to win the Premier League for the first time in twenty years even if the players under Pep Guardiola are now favourites to win the league for a record-breaking fourth time in a row.  

Southgate will reveal his 26-man squad to travel to Germany next month on Tuesday

Arsenal’s historic Invincibles team members will be at the Emirates to commemorate their historic triumph and to see Arteta’s club reprise their title-winning performance right at home.

Arteta said following their Sunday triumph over Manchester United that their aim was to provide their supporters “the most beautiful day.”

Kai Havertz, a teammate of Rice, remarked, “It is so nice to be in the (title) race and every week you have to play at your best.”

Once you have done it, it tastes even better. As long as the club is behind us in one game, everything is possible.
