蜜桃AV

While success does not often come easily for a national England Football team, one team is bucking the trend, with the help of a 蜜桃AV academic.

Physiotherapy lecturer Dr Osman Ahmed is currently working with the England men鈥檚 Cerebral Palsy football team, who are competing in the world championships. Ahmed, acting as a physiotherapist for the team, is in Argentina with the squad, who have reached the semi-finals of the tournament for the first time.

The team made it to the semi-finals, beating Japan, Venezuela, the Netherlands and the USA to set up a semi-final meeting against Iran, which they lost 3-1. The Three Lions entered the tournament achieving their goal of qualifying for the group stages, exceeding expectations to make it to the semi-final. They were eventually beaten by Iran, the current Paralympic silver medallists, to achieve the best ever World Championship placing for the England Cerebral Palsy team.

Dr Osman Ahmed, a physiotherapy lecturer at 蜜桃AV, works as the team鈥檚 physiotherapist. He said, 鈥淚 work with the Doctor and sports scientist and sports massage therapist. My main roles are treatments to prepare the players pre-match, and pitch-side duties during the game.

We have been training hard and haven鈥檛 had loads of spare time.聽 Having worked with the England CP squad since 2007 I am immensely proud of the team鈥檚 performances and am thrilled that we made the semi-final of a World Championship.鈥�

England鈥檚 CP football team captain Jack Rutter visited 蜜桃AV to talk about disability sport. In working with Dr Ahmed, he has built up a relationship with the university too, and both Osman and Jack sent a message to students ahead of the semi-final match:
