west ham united Star Crescencio Somerville has revealed he has a whole team of people working behind him on 'Team Somerville'.
football primer report comments From today onwards, from an interview with Voetbal International this week.
'Team Somerville'
The 24-year-old is currently making headlines in the Netherlands after being included in Ronald Koeman's Netherlands squad for the World Cup.
This is the first time that he has been included in the senior international team and he recently made his debut in a 1–0 defeat to Algeria. He then added a second appearance and an assist in a 2–1 win over Uzbekistan on Monday.
It also means the West Ham man is now being asked about everything, and that's also the case with the Voetbal international. They want to know about the team the forward has assembled behind him, covering issues such as nutrition, media and physiotherapy.
Asked about them, he said, "Ha, Team Somerville, what a great word, I'll keep it."
"I really work with experts in different fields. I have my own physiotherapist, business consultants, a media team, a chef. Everyone makes sure I can focus completely on football and be in the best possible shape.
"Nutrition is very important for a top athlete. When I started playing football at West Ham, I hired him. Three days a week, he is in our kitchen at home. For example, the chef prepares recovery meals and shakes for me after the match.
"The entire menu is tailored to my body's needs at each stage of the week."
focus on progress
As for the forward, his focus is on becoming the best player he can be. This season has been a breakout one for him in the Premier League, especially after the turn of the year.
He is already being linked with a big money move this summer. This is certainly the case below West Ham's exit from the Championship. And of course he always has an eye on progress.
"I want to take advantage of every opportunity that can help me become a better player," he said.
"During my time at Leeds, I also had someone in my team with whom I analyzed match footage. At West Ham, I did the same with experts at the club. This way, I am working on my development in all areas."
