Plenty of ball work makes Manchester City training sessions a pleasure according to Gael Clichy, who’s revealed what goes on behind closed doors at the City Football Academy.

The defender is the latest player to give CityTV an exclusive insight into what happens on the training pitch and the routine he employs to ensure he’s in the best possible condition come matchday.

From what time he wakes (spoiler: his daughter decides that!), to how sessions have changed during his 15 year career, the Frenchman discusses all aspects of a professional footballer’s training regime.

And the full-back is certainly enjoying working with Pep Guardiola and his coaching staff, who he says are always on hand to assist should you want to put in the hard yards once training has finished.
