Koscielny - I feel like a young man

By Lloyd Webb 

Laurent Koscielny may be turning 30 - but he insists he still feels like a young man.

The defender has firmly established himself as one of the best centre backs in the Premier League since his arrival at the club in 2010.

However, Koscielny recognises that he now must put extra effort in during training to prolong his career.

“Footballer or not, after 30 is a big part of your life,” he told Arsenal Player. “For a footballer it is important as you are closer to the end of your career than you are to the start. But, I feel like a young man.

Nacho - The secret of Spain's success

Nacho Monreal believes Spain’s success is down to the hard work the players put in at youth level.

Between 2008 and 2013, Spain won two European Championships and a World Cup, and were named Fifa Team of the Year for six years running.

Monreal has been involved in Vicente del Bosque’s squad throughout this era of dominance and believes that a strong youth infrastructure is behind his country’s success.
