Who is Pedro Ruiz ??
Some guy who few have heard of, but because he has a foreign name, he must be great.
So, lets watch a youtube highlight video, put a £50M price tag on and chase after him.

Nutritionist? No need, all every player needs is to make sure he is fit and healthy and is fast and can push a ball around well with his feet. And if he takes hemp seed oil(the best oil a human can take)then he will also have all of his essentail fatty acids. Just a simple case of him looking after himself from there on, and eating healthy food :)
