ORIOL Romeu is enjoying his time at Southampton and wants to stay for as long as possible – with the Spaniard revealing he doesn’t spend much time thinking about his contract situation.
Oriol Romeu said: “I’m enjoying it. I’m feeling good physically. I’m probably feeling now, the best moment of my career. I’m looking after myself, I’ve found some habits that are really helping me, I want to carry on with that and then we’ll see how far we go. I’ve still got a year and a half left, I really don’t think of it much. I’m enjoying it here, I want to go year by year and see how far we go.”
Saints’ vice-captain clearly believes that his work off the pitch is allowing him to perform on it. When quizzed upon the habits he mentioned,
Oriol Romeu revealed: “Eating wise, I’ve improved a lot. I’ve changed some things that are helping me to gain more muscle and reduce fat within my body. Sleeping, resting, recovery – always things that are important nowadays. I don’t think I would be able to perform at this level if I hadn’t done this. Since I think it was lockdown, I started working with a nutritionist a lot more, looking every detail. It has really helped me, and it’s something I will continue and keep doing in my career.”
Romeu and Co. will have to hope their preparation is spot-on for the visit of Manchester City this weekend, with Pep Guardiola’s men seemingly marching unopposed to the title with 12 Premier League wins in a row. Saints themselves enter the fixture hoping to bounce back after a decent run of form of their own was ended with a 3-1 defeat away at Wolves last weekend.
