Depending on when the match is, he joins the rest of his team for practice drills or stays in the gym for injury prevention drills. During training for Euro 2016, he released a video of his insane training drill. It was about putting lots of water bottles in front of his goal and firing shots there. As the ball bounced in unexpected directions, he showed great reactions. You can watch the crazy drill here.

He further revealed that he eats eggs and some fruits for his breakfast along with coffee which for some reason is key for him. His other meals are broken down into three parts – fiber, protein, and carbohydrates.
