Great Britain’s dream in the London 2012 Olympic football tournament was cut short but it was not just another football tournament. Beautiful football was displayed and experience was gained. One who has agreed is Manchester Utd’s Tom Cleverley. To him, experience and fitness boost are what he has gained from the tournament.
Tom was featured in all 4 Great Britain’s games and was extremely impressive during the 3-1 victory over UAE at Wembley. “It was fantastic and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was a bit different from your normal league games, but on a personal level, it was good for me. Including the friendlies I managed to play five games and I feel confident and fit from it. It’s a shame we didn’t get a medal, but the overall experience was enjoyable,” he told reporters of the experience.
Tom has not gotten his first cap for England but he will be hoping to make his debut for the Three Lions against Italy comes Wednesday. Speaking to the press, to represent the country is a massive honour for any footballer and its always something he always dream of.
