Pires: I would only get chauffeur in England

Veteran Aston Villa midfielder has admitted that he gets a chauffeur to drive him from his home in Hampstead to training in Birmingham every day - and admitted it would only happen in England.

The former France international, who has rarely played for Villa since moving there earlier in the season, said: "What I can tell you is that he (the chauffeur) is very nice.

"Steve has been a friend for a long time now. And for me, travelling in the back of this car is so convenient.

"I can sleep, watch movies, make calls. It is a nice way to commute and I feel totally prepared for the training sessions at 10.30am.

"In any other country in the world, eyebrows would be raised because a car takes me from my home in Hampstead to the Midlands. Not in England, where players are always put in the best conditions."
