Eating once a day is ok when you get used to.
Fasting is not healthy. I don't care if people do it or not, but for a professional football player it can be very risky. It's not like he's going to die on the pitch, but it does complicate things. As for the so called health benefits.. well.. it's rubbish really. You don't cleanse your body by not eating. You're slowly killing it.

Everyone is supposed to be fasting in Iran. Swimming pools, restaurants and coffee-shops are all closed before iftar and league games are played after iftar even though most of players don't fast. Zlatko Kranjcar while being Persepolis coach was asked why he didn't play Hawar Mulla Mohammed (Persepolis Iraqi player) and he said because he was fasting all day long, indirectly claiming that none of Iranian players in the team was fasting :lol: And you know what, they fined Kranjcar :lol:

He still thinks that life in Iran was better than in Sharjah.

It's very likely. Shi'as are generally less strict and radical than Sunnis. As a non-Muslim, you'd feel yourself much closer to them compared to the Sunnis.
:tup:

Kranjcar is saying exactly the same thing here:

Maybe he was just flattering people of Iran, but I believe he really means it.
