Planet Swans ArchivesTaylor – who earned himself a new contract at the end of last season – had just ten days gap between helping Wales to their famous 1-0 win over Belgium at the Cardiff City Stadium and coming back to pre-season training with the Swans.
And with Wales seemingly heading towards the European Championship finals in France next summer then it looks like it could be some time before the defender gets a proper break from the action.
But rather than bemoaning his plight which is the norm for so many players, Taylor is enjoying the way that things are going and revealed that it was Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben who inspired him to enjoy the way things are
รขโฌลWeรขโฌโขve had two solid weeks of training with double sessions already, and that will pay off throughout the season.
รขโฌลEveryone came back in great shape, while for me it was a little different as I was on Wales duty which meant I only had ten days away. The rule of thumb in football is that you only start to lose your fitness if youรขโฌโขve had two weeks off, so Iรขโฌโขve not been affected really.
รขโฌลBut I donรขโฌโขt mind that at all. I was told by a manager once that if youรขโฌโขre not getting a break then youรขโฌโขre a successful footballer.
รขโฌลI remember watching a programme about Arjen Robben once and he hasnรขโฌโขt had a summer off for about ten years because heรขโฌโขs been involved in the Euros and World Cup with his country while being at big clubs has meant heรขโฌโขs been involved in Champions League finals.รขโฌย
Taylor faces stronger competition for his place this coming season with the summer capture of Franck Tabanou but with the attitude of Taylor then you have to know that we have a great position for the coming season particularly with the left back position occupied by someone with the right kind of attitude.
