Im listening to everything the manager has been saying and trying to put that into practice.To be able to train every day with so many class players has been amazing for me.Theyll come over and have a little word in my ear. Theyll tell me what Im doing right and what I can improve on. A lot of the senior players have helped me in different ways.Getty3
