Plus my highs - and a few too many lows - playing for England.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere isn't a current player who's been playing Premier League football as long as I have, and that gives me a pretty rare perspective into how the top-flight game has changed over the past seventeen years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, I explain how a footballer's working week unfolds - what we eat and how we prepare for matches technically, tactically, mentally and physically - and talk you through the ups and downs of a matchday. I reveal my penalty-taking techniques, half-time team talks and the differences between playing against Lionel Messi, Wilfried Zaha and Jimmy Bullard. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI've played for managers ranging from Terry Venables, Peter Reid and Sir Bobby Robson to Martin O'Neill, Fabio Capello and Jurgen Klopp. I tell you what it's like sharing a training ground and a dressing-room with team-mates such as Lee Bowyer, Mario Balotelli and Mo Salah. I also reveal the behind-the-scenes work that went into Liverpool's Champions League success - and the celebrations that followed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo this isn't an autobiography. The whole point of \u003ci\u003eAsk A Footballer\u003c\/i\u003e is that you, the fans, asked me questions and I have used my own experiences to answer them. I hope you like it, and don't find it too boring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Milner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529404967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529404968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quercus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.90d","brand":"James Milner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046497775871,"sku":"9781529404968","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6aadd428-5271-45b6-a2fb-91020d66c2ce.jpg?v=1778050022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ask-a-footballer-james-milner-9781529404968","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
