Aleksandr Golovin: My Age Is Starting to Show

Russian national team midfielder Aleksandr Golovin has spoken about the main differences between his current state and his condition at the age of 20. According to the footballer, age primarily impacts the recovery process after games.

Golovin emphasized that during his younger years, his body recovered more quickly after physical exertion, and there was less need to strictly adhere to a set regimen. Now, however, he needs to pay greater attention to recovery.

"In earlier years, recovering after games was much easier for me. That's clear.

There's a big difference between being 20 and 29 years old. Now I need to dedicate more time to recovery.

When I was 20, I used to think that everything would naturally work out even if I didn't pay attention to certain things. But now it's different," Golovin told "Sovetskiy Sport" in an interview.

Aleksandr Golovin has been playing for AS Monaco since 2018. During this time, he has appeared in 241 matches, scoring 36 goals and providing 40 assists.
