Donyell Malen credits strict routine for strong AS Roma start

AS Roma striker Donyell Malen has enjoyed a prolific start to the Serie A season, scoring five goals in the first two matches. At a recent Gran Galà del Calcio event in Milan, Malen was honored as the best attacker from the previous season and expressed his desire to continue his momentum, stating he aims to take the game ‘match by match’ rather than focusing on scoring records.

In an interview with Men’s Health, Malen attributed his high performance levels to a strict daily routine. His regimen includes ensuring eight hours of sleep, following a gluten-free diet, maintaining high water intake, and using supplements such as vitamins, magnesium, and electrolyte-rich beverages. Since joining Roma in January, Malen has recorded 20 goals and 3 assists in 22 appearances, significantly enhancing the team's offensive verticality alongside teammate Paulo Dybala.
