"He was already really, really good. Young, but really strong and agile. Technically, he was unbelievable. When I was playing with him, he didn't play too much because I think at that time he didn't always choose the right moment to use his skills and everything. But of course, we know that when you go to a big club, you learn this type of thing."
"And now it's just crazy. It's good because he keeps a little bit of his crazy side. I think he did well at club level and with the national team as well. So I'm really happy for him because he's a good guy. He was young, but he already worked like he was 30 years old."
