"Astonishing": BBC pundit blown away by Liverpool star, compares him to Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Micah Richards has shared his praise on Liverpool midfielder James Milner. The pair played together at Manchester City, while speaking about his former teammate, Richards has claimed the Reds man's professionalism and fitness have been impressive throughout his career as he continues his playing spell with the Premier League champions. “Like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he is one of those players who can just keep on going. I honestly think Milner could still be playing in the Premier League aged 40, if he wants to." he said. “His mindset is astonishing; he never has a day off. Out of everything I’ve said, it is that character and experience that will really make the difference for Liverpool with what they are going through now. “I thought he was disrespected for long parts of his career because the focus was always on his work-rate when he has a lot more to his game than just fantastic energy. “I have been around some unbelievable players at club and international level, but he is one of the most inspirational people I have met.”
