Milner: Experience can aid my push
Aston Villa winger Milner is only 23 but has already clocked up more than 270 games at domestic and various international levels - including his first senior England start against Brazil in Doha last weekend.[LNB]The former Leeds and Newcastle player feels this gives him the advantage over his rivals as he strives to ensure he is part of the England squad heading to South Africa in June.[LNB]Milner said: "I'm getting more mature. It comes with playing a lot of games. You learn. I'm pushing nearly 300 games even though I'm still young.[LNB]"I started young, as a 16-year-old at Leeds, so it is an advantage that I've gained more experience than players my age.[LNB]"If you are in the first team, the amount of football that is played these days means you are never going to be short of matches. In one season at Newcastle I played nearly 60 games. But it is also about making sure you look after yourself and ensure you recover because the the games do come thick and fast."[LNB][LNB]
