Diego Sodinha, nicknamed “il bomber con la pancia” (“The striker with the stomach”), is gaining attention as a potential successor to Ronaldo’s legacy of overcoming weight issues while excelling on the pitch. Playing for Brescia in Serie B, the Brazilian striker has been prolific in scoring goals for his club.
Sodinha, who stands at 1.75 meters tall, has disclosed his current weight to be 82 kg, down from 85.86 kg just a few weeks ago. However, he expressed a desire to shed a further two kilograms, aiming to maintain a weight above 80 kg to avoid appearing unwell.
Despite his self-disclosure, some skeptics speculate that Sodinha’s weight might exceed 100 kg, alleging that he is not revealing his true weight.
The comparison to Ronaldo, who famously battled weight issues throughout his career, adds intrigue to Sodinha’s story as he continues to impress on the pitch.
