Olga García is of those people sonrientes by nature. "The most important is to be happy", repeats along the interview, and his tattoo 'Don't dream your life, live your dreams' insinuates a character vitalista, fighter, the typical of somebody that goes to by all and does not leave neither a bullet in the recámara. Precisely this attitude has done him arrive until where is, gunpowder of the FC Barcelona and of the Spanish Selection.
To his 25 years, the one of Dosrius has happened 14 of them in the FC Barcelona, with the 'impasse' of his course to the Raise years backwards for curtirse like footballer of elite under the control of Antonio Contreras. Now, after having renewed his sponsorship with Herbalife Nutrition, beside the general director of the company, Carlos Barroso, incide in the importance of a good nutrition to succeed in the sport and shows motivated of face to the challenges that has by in front, analysing besides the a lot of that is changing the feminine football, every time with more visibility mediática.
Question: A correct nutrition can be the turning point between two footballers?
Answer: Totally. The nutrition and the psychological appearance are keys. Fix you in the case of Leo Messi. It began to have to his dietista of Italy (Giuliano Poser) and look it now. Together with his talent and as it is now (physically), is God. The thing is that there is another person, Cristiano Ronaldo, that has arrived almost to the same levels to base of a work and a sacrifice that are to praise him. Although the gift of Messi does not have it anybody.
P: It can apply the same comparative Messi-Christian in the world of the feminine football?
R: Ufff... You kill me (smile). In the Barça, at least, now there is increasingly athlete. Before it was only football, but now the nutrition plays a much more important paper. We happen strict levels of feeding with proofs of fats. If you happen you of the weight, fine. These factors help to that you take care you, so much to have a good performance as in the personal life. Each player has to know control.
P: You finish to renew the sponsorship with Herbalife Nutrition. In which measure can help you Herbalife Nutrition so that have a nutrition balanced and surrender to the maximum on the lawn?
R: First of all, we are here to enjoy also eating. Neither it treats to deprive of a lot of things. The important is to know what eat in determinants moments of the season, but neither leave to eat meat or eat only salad. The well that has Herbalife is that, in addition to an alimentary consumption, at the same time helps you to take care you to sportive level, and this is key. Help in situations that are fundamental for the sport, touching all the important sticks, and this is an extra factor to take into account.
P: In addition to Herbalife Nutrition, increasingly big companies bet by the feminine football. You think that it could arrive some day to a level of equiparación salarial between boys and girls? What think when the PSG pays 222 millions for fichar to Neymar?
R: The football moves masses, but also money. This is like everything. So many vouchers, so much generate. If have a player that generates you 1.000 million euros in advertising, goes you to compensate ficharlo by 222 millions, because at the end it is somebody that also is very good. In girls is complicated this type of investments because it does not generate so much. Ojalá Some day arrive this equiparación, but to day of today is difficult. Yes they are important the sponsors like Herbalife, that in addition to helping with an alimentary improvement, at the same time does that the League Iberdrola have more visibility, and that other big companies also interest more.
P: From the point of view of the means, see also a change? You think that every time it gives him more focus to the feminine football?
R: Yes, it is one of the fundamental factors so that the Feminine League keep growing, because the means give the necessary visibility so that the people that can not assist to the parties know what has sucedido in Cyprus, here with the Barça… Are this type of things that those that do that the people can recognise to the players by the street, because it has seen them before by the television.
P: Recently more than a week was the International Day of the Woman. Which message would launch to all the girls that see you by television and want to be footballers of elite, as you?
R: As that we have to be happy and enjoy of what can do. And if you are happy playing to football, is something that have to take care and throw for forward. Only we have a life to enjoy it, and when be 60 years old will look backwards and will gladden me to having been in First Division, in the best club, and at the same time in the Spanish Selection.
P: Tied to what spoke before, think that are the generation that is breaking the ice in the feminine football? To state level, the progression of the feminine football Spanish is equiparable to which is doing the Barça?
R: Correct. For example, east is the first year that Irene Walls has been nominated like one of the best head offices of Europe. This means that the feminine football is evolving. Spain has happened to be the selection number 20 to be shortly in the Top-10. In the life had won an Algarve or a Cyprus Cup, neither had gone to the Eurocopa with this form. And we are doing a phase of classification for the World-wide in which for the moment we go first of group. We are those that are opening the brecha in the feminine football Spanish.
