Michael Dawson has raved about Liverpool star James Milner on Sky Sports News (3:15pm, September 18, 2021).
The former Tottenham Hotspur central defender has said that Milner is “absolutely sensational” for going strong despite being 35 years of age.
Dawson made the comments about the former Leeds United star while watching him in action for Liverpool against Crystal Palace at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Milner stated at right-back against Palace and kept Palace winger Wilfried Zaha quiet.
Liverpool won 3-0.
Dawson said about Milner on Sky Sports News (3:15pm, September 18, 2021): “For any young player, watch James Milner. For what he is doing at this level at his age is absolutely sensational. What a pro!”
Model professional
Much has been made about Cristiano Ronaldo’s fitness, and righty so.
The Manchester United forward is 36 now and remains one of the best footballers in the word.
However, we must also praise Milner.
Milner is 35, but even at that age, he remains a hard-working footballer.
The former Newcastle United star – who earns £140,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac – can play in defence and in midfield and is always ready to help out his team.
Milner may not get too many games this season and will be used mainly as cover by his manager Jurgen Klopp, just like he was yesterday due to the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold, but you can always count on him to do his best.
