Five Goals in the First Two Serie A Rounds, Malen: Eight Hours of Sleep and a Gluten-Free Diet Are the Complete Combination

Malen talked about his daily routine and dietary habits in an interview with Men's Health. The Dutch star has already scored five goals at the start of this Serie A season.

Now in Rome, fans have also become accustomed to calling Malen directly by his nickname “Donny.” He is one of the in-form scorers in Serie A recently. At the beginning of this Serie A season, he has already scored five goals: he scored three goals against Fiorentina at the Olympic Stadium and two goals away against Lecce. As a former Aston Villa player, despite going through the summer and the World Cup, he has maintained his scoring form.

Since making his debut under Gasperini on January 18 while representing Roma against Torino, Malen has made 22 appearances in cup and league competitions, scoring 20 goals and providing three assists, with an average of nearly one goal per game. He has improved Roma's attack and further strengthened his connection with Dybala. This has been thanks to both Malen and Gasperini, as well as his adaptation to the team environment and some personal secrets.

Malen said: “Eight hours of sleep, a gluten-free diet, drinking plenty of water, vitamins, magnesium supplements and electrolyte-rich drinks, this is a complete combination. Sometimes I can't always do it, but as soon as I don't do these things, I can immediately feel the difference.”

Malen introduced these lifestyle habits during his long interview with Men's Health, explaining that he usually pays great attention to details.
