Video: Gael Clichy Exclusive Interview
Gael Clichy is the final piece in the PUMA jigsaw, a world class full-back completing a starting XI to rival any brand or team in the world. The latest high-profile player to join the PUMA family, SoccerBible was invited to Manchester for an exclusive first interview with the Premier League star...
At 27 years of age, Clichy has experienced the highs and lows of football. A member of the Invincibles but on the bench for the Champions League final, Clichy has won two Premier League titles and shared training grounds with some of the best players in the game.
Now a key player for Premier League champions Manchester City, Gael Clichy is showing no signs of complacency. The hardest worker in training, Clichy would never admit to mastering the full-back position. Instead he believes only two footballers in the world could say they've mastered their position - Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Clichy will be the only UK based player to wear the new Silver/Green evoSPEED football boots; so our interview at the Hilton in Manchester was an opportunity to hear Gael's thoughts on his eye-catching new boots. Of course, we were equally interested to hear how Clichy is modelling his hair on Brazilian star Neymar, and that he'll never wear sunglasses when it's not sunny!
We mentioned before how Gael Clichy completes an impressive starting XI for PUMA. Well put his name alongside the likes of Gianluigi Buffon, Bacary Sagna, Nemanja Vidic, Giorgio Chiellini,Yaya Toure, Cesc Fabregas, Marco Reus, Sergio Aguero, Mario Gomez, Radamel Falcao and you start to realise how PUMA are upping their game!
Keep an eye on Gael Clichy this week, as he debuts his new boots in both the Champions League and Premier League. You can see our full review of the new Silver/Green PUMA evoSPEED football boots by clicking here. Join the conversation online, on Twitter and on Facebook.
