JawaPos.com — The month of Ramadan always has a special meaning for every Muslim, but for Rizky Ridho Ramadhani, this blessed month has a double meaning.
Born in 2001, Ramadan is not only a holy month in religion, but also his birth month. However, Ramadhan at that time when he was still strengthening Persebaya Surabaya had a deeper meaning for Ridho.
For the player who started his professional career as a football player for the legendary club Persebaya Surabaya, Ramadhan during the Covid-19 pandemic brought new challenges and responsibilities.
As a professional player, Ridho realizes that his responsibilities are getting bigger, especially because he is now part of Persebaya Surabaya, a club that has long been an idol for him since childhood. “My responsibilities have increased because now I am part of Persebaya,” he said firmly at that time.
“I have to be more disciplined in maintaining my physical condition, even though the competition is on holiday like now,” he added enthusiastically, quoted from the club’s official website.

However, the challenges Ridho faces do not only come from his responsibilities as a professional player, but also from the situation faced during the Covid-19 pandemic. The government’s stay-at-home policy has made field training difficult. However, Ridho still tries to maintain his physical condition by training at home.
“Usually I go to the gym at night, and also cycle before breaking the fast,” said the player who led Persebaya U-20 to win the 2019 Elite Pro Academy.
One important aspect of maintaining physical condition during the month of Ramadan is managing your eating and drinking patterns well. Ridho explained that he continues to maintain the intensity of his physical training by carrying out intense fitness training, in accordance with the tasks given by the Persebaya coaching team. To prevent dehydration, Ridho also makes sure to drink lots of water at night and at dawn. Apart from that, he also consumes fruit and avoids foods or drinks that contain ice. “Also reduce the ice. “Sometimes I also drink warm ginger,” he said.

However, among all the foods he consumes during the fasting month, there is one dish that is Ridho’s favorite, namely the key vegetable spinach cooked by his mother. Ridho admits that nothing can beat the taste of his mother’s cooking, especially when eaten with corn omelette.
“I like it best when mother cooks the key vegetable spinach, plus corn omelette, it’s second to none,” said Ridho with a smile on his face.
In undergoing the month of Ramadan as a professional football player, Ridho emphasized the importance of discipline in maintaining physical condition and a healthy diet. Even though he is faced with various challenges, both in terms of career and the pandemic situation, Ridho still tries to remain consistent in carrying out his fast and maintain his physical condition so that he remains in top condition when he returns to competing on the field.
For Rizky Ridho Ramadhani, who is now strengthening the Kemayoran Tigers, Ramadhan is not only about fasting as a Muslim, but also about living life as a professional football player with full responsibility and discipline.
