?Seasoned Premier League striker Jermain Defoe has revealed the secret to his seemingly ageless footballing vitality, claiming that freezing cryotherapy chamber sessions are the source of his powers, although his mum is ruining his vegan diet by cooking up meat.<\/p>\n

In a report by\u00a0?The Sun\u00a0newspaper, Defoe has claimed to be reaping the benefits of these sessions, having already proven footballing pundits wrong with his impressive performances at the ripe old age of 34.<\/p>\n

Defoe has already found the net for the struggling Black Cats an almighty\u00a014 times in just 28 league appearances and returned from international four-year exile with a goal against Lithuania in their World Cup qualifier on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was testament to a striker who has refused to give up on achieving footballing notoriety, despite repeatedly being written off by pundits, and is heavily relied on at Sunderland to score the goals in their bid to stave off relegation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The striker harbours ambitions of making it onto the plane for Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad in Russia in 2018, despite the strenuous fitness he demands of himself:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe intensity of the modern game means the physical demands on the players are so high these days”, said Defoe.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it is all about recovery and how I look after myself between matches \u2014 and I seem to have got that to a tee. But it\u2019s not easy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"England<\/div>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

”There\u2019s a lot of things I do away from training and playing that help me to perform on a match day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a better understanding of my body thanks to all the sports science and I know when I need to have a rest day and when I need to work hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spend a lot of time in freezing temperatures in a cryotherapy chamber, which is not fun.<\/p>\n


\n<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cI have a lot of massages and ice baths, which I don\u2019t want but I know that I\u2019ll be rewarded at the weekend.\u00a0I\u2019m also trying to turn vegan, which is a funny one because whenever I go to my mum\u2019s, she\u2019s got every meat you can imagine out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy girlfriend puts on these documentaries about meat and said I have to go vegan.\u00a0It helps to have her around to drive me on but it\u2019s not easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"England<\/div>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cI still eat a lot of fish and I\u2019m feeling good. I\u2019m not fatiguing towards the end of games and I\u2019m feeling fresh and sharp, so I\u2019ll continue to do it.\u00a0It\u2019s just a case of trying to tick every box so I can continue playing for as long as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNothing is too hard for me as I know the feeling I get scoring goals still outweighs all the negatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never been a person who wants something on a plate, I always want to work hard for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
