Mexican team isn't just playing well, it's eating well too

“We brought a lot of food and we also brought a chef to make every dish as the player likes it,” nutritionist Beatriz Boullosa told the Associated Press. "Players ask for their quesadillas and their tacos and that really helps, psychologically, because you bring them closer to home.

When Juan Carlos Osorio replaced Herrera in the fall of 2015, he brought back Boullosa and the team has been eating well ever since.

"Every player has specific needs, not just based on his position but also based on his physique and his performance in training and in games,” Boullosa told the AP.
