What you should pay attention to when it comes to nutrition AFTER the match

Be sure to drink enough - at least 1/2 liter of liquid - definitely more if it's hot and not too cold!
It's best to eat something immediately , as the body can now absorb nutrients particularly well
Eat enough and nutritious food , as this is the only way to ensure optimal recovery
