"I predict a sweet end for the Spanish team"

Lluc Crusellas (Santa Eulàlia de Riuprimer, 1996) already knows what it means to be a world champion. Last October he won the World Chocolate Masters, in Paris, after two years of preparation and with around twenty people under his supervision. His passion for cycling (he will participate in the Titan Desert for the first time, in 2023) influenced his way of working: he treats pastry as a highly competitive sport.

Are you a soccer fan?

Not too much. I am culé because at home I have sucked it. Now I'm going back to follow football a bit more because Ferran Jutglà's father works with me. He is a pastry chef who brings serenity to a young group. He is very positive for the team.

He speaks as a selector.

When you have to choose someone new the decision falls on me. My personal trainer told me to act like a soccer coach and surround myself with the best. I did it like that. I also take care of my body and mind.

Like an elite athlete?

I managed the pre-competition pressure with a nutritionist and a psychologist. I worked hard for months and got little sleep. On a physical and mental level, I had to be fine to be able to perform.

He innovated in his sector.

I think so, that's why so much echo has been done. As a child I competed in cycling and I try to transfer its values ​​in my day to day. Two weeks before competing I took it easy to get focused and give it my all. It is not usual.

What rival was he afraid of?

Those with a chocolate tradition like Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland... and the Asians push, like in the World Cup, right?

Sweet or bitter ending for Spain?

I think it will be sweet. They are doing well although it can be improved.
