How is Yankovic, it is said that he emphasizes self-discipline, physical confrontation and sacrifice, players with a body fat rate of more than 10% do not want to play football, requiring players to clock in 10 kilometers a day, must eat breakfast before 8 o'clock, and eat regularly and healthily! From Yankovic's point of view, it may not be a good thing for this group of reckless (fat) male footballers who eat and drink all day! But some netizens ridiculed that if the body fat rate is required to not exceed 10%, then the men's football team is not enough to play the lineup!
