""If he plays up front, he does well, with runs between the lines... He's the same on the wings, with attacks down the left. He interprets every game situation. Yes, he's underrated.""
""Fortunately, I'll have to make decisions. We have a great youth academy and players for the future. "It's a source of pride, [the absences are] nothing to worry about. When you have doubts, football itself clears them up. I'm lucky. Today we saw other players.""
