Former Manchester City physio Paul Webster likened the fitness of James Milner to that of Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite turning 36 recently, Milner has made 18 appearances for the Reds in all competitions. Milner made his debut in the Premier League at Leeds and has been a constant since then playing in every season since then. Webster revealed some of the training regimes that Milner has followed over the years.
“It’s the little things that he does every day that makes up a whole package,” Paul Webster said about James Milner. “When I see him play now, it’s like time hasn’t moved on; he’s like he was 10 years ago. James is probably a little bit more pedantic in his food and his drink and what he does in his general lifestyle, but that’s not to take anything away from some of the other players that would come in and work just as hard. But, originally, James’ overall package is what I noticed.”
“I watched him (Milner) against Chelsea and he was probably one of the fittest on the pitch. He looks young, he looks fit, he’s probably got eight percent body fat or something ridiculous,” he added. “He’s a bit like Ronaldo. I’ve never worked with Ronaldo, but I know people that have and I get the same impression. It’s all the little things that add up, and they have more little things to add up. It’s everything: drinking, James doesn’t touch alcohol; food, he’s meticulous with how much he eats; his timekeeping is perfect; he has goals – he wants to be fitter and stronger as months go by; his general behavior and his internal discipline.”
