"I see what Manu brings to training and in games - his performances are outstanding. For a long time, I only knew Manu as an opponent, but since we've been working together, his level has improved almost every week. He's already achieved everything in his career. Therefore, it's important to me that he enjoys the games. There are phases in your career when you don't feel any pressure,"
"Even though his mentality is certainly different, he'll see it differently; he still wants to prove everything to everyone. It's a mixture of focus and total ease. I felt that at the end of my career, too. As a young player, you're in full throttle mode; as you get older, you go with the flow of the game more and make decisions at the right moments. He's in that phase of his career now."
