I feel the smile of Alia through the cellphone. It will be the Tuscan accent, it will be simplicity in its answers, but just listening to it on the phone has put me in a good mood.
It was the same feeling I had looking at her Instagram profile, thousands of fans and real comments and fans who are waiting for nothing more than to see her on the field.

Thank you immediately for participating in our #LaRicettaCheUnisce challenge: "Have you always enjoyed cooking or is it the lockdown that inspired you?" I ask.

The quarantine, as for many people, was also an opportunity for Alia to rediscover the kitchen, which however has been a passion for a long time: “I have always liked to cook and think that I had also done a live cooking before they did it on Instagram all! Someone still asks me when I will make another one, but I wait for everyone else to stop at this point! "
For us he prepared a carbonara and pizza, which he tells me to be a regular appointment at home “I make pizza once a week. Then I try many different recipes, I like Italian cuisine, I love pasta, desserts. I don't really like spices even though I recently discovered turmeric, I made pizza dough!
Before, I was used to eating with the team and at lunch we had studied and balanced meals while in the evening, after training, I didn't really want to cook.
Now I have a lot of free time and the kitchen fills my days with joy. "

Exactly, the team, how does it work now?
“I miss training with my companions very much. Every day we do the workouts together on video and this is nice because training alone is not so fun. You have to do it and once you have done it you are satisfied and it helps to release the energies, but doing it all together is another thing. "

I guess discipline is important, how do you "import" your daily workout?
"In addition to training in video call, I train with the help of an app, that of Nike, which has many different workouts, with various intensities and this helps me not to get bored. But I couldn't not train, in the meantime because I can't wait to get back to playing and I have to be in shape for when we start again, but also because it's the best way to vent your energies and to make sense of these days. "

Many of our readers ask us how to stay in shape even in this period and Alia does not give us false hopes "Training is no longer a mental issue. At some point you have to tell yourself to just do it, there is no excuse. Especially if you want to abound with a plate of pasta, the only secret is to do a more intense workout. So then you are quiet and you can have fun in the kitchen and eat what you want! "

It seems almost feasible, I download and the app too, and in the meantime I ask you what you miss most in this period: "The team certainly, but I miss the game a lot. Take the field, run. That adrenaline that only the game can give. "
