Aston Villa Training and a Drinking Fountain
I went to watch Villa train once and they have a fantastic fully equipped training ground just like you would expect, for a top Premier league team. All of the stars turned out and it was the year that they made it to the league cup final at the new Wembley. The levels of skill were fascinating with Ashley Young sticking out like a sore thumb. His tricks and spatial awareness were superb and he ran circles around the rest of the squad. The players must have covered so much ground in the training games that you would be surprised how they managed to perform so well in weekend matches. There are so many England players that belong to Aston Villa including James Milner, Emile Heskey, Gabby Agbonlahor and Stephen Warnock. We are the only team in the league that could field an all English first eleven. The players looked exhausted when they finally finished the session and they all visited the drinking fountain within the entrance to their training ground in order to keep hydrated. When leaving the ground you couldn’t help but notice the selection of luxury cars parked in the car park, Lamborghini’s, Ferrari’s and Range Rovers everywhere. It makes you think how much good these players could do for those within society who are far less fortunate than them. I know that there are a lot of players that do substantial amounts for charity and these individuals should be commended, but surely there are many more that could follow their lead.
