He may have reached 36 now, but o Hulk remains one of the most fit footballers in the world.
The Brazilian striker did not get the nickname that accompanies him by chance with the world being… ignorant of his real name, Zivanildo Vieira da Souza.
In her fight Atletico Mineiro with Tobense, he not only scored the winning goal in the 89th minute (1-2), but ran so far that he lost six kilos during the match.
His team uploaded a video of Hulk weighing himself before the match and showing 97.6 kg, while after his weigh-in at the end of the match he had dropped to 91.9 kg!
Hulk had lost six kilos “round” not long ago, in the match against Flamengo in 2022. “I almost got dehydrated then,” Hulk had said.
The reason for losing so many kilos is both his non-stop running and the fact that he sweats very easily. “He’s the first player we run to give water or isotonics at every stoppage because he’s losing so much sweat that he’s at risk of dehydration“, emphasized the physiotherapist of his team.
