Original Title: Szczęsny “I like to eat, and although I manage to stay within the weight limit, I still broke Barcelona’s body fat record. I’ve never been a player who trained harder than others, but I’ve managed to maintain the same high level throughout my 18-year career.”

You play with your hands, but really with your head.’ Since then, whenever anyone tells me, ‘Wojtek, go to the gym,’ I reply, ‘Listen, it’s chess.’”
