"I had a great experience with him. It was my best year in England, the one in which I had my best numbers. He gave me great confidence to play and feel important in the team."

"He is a great coach and strategist who can't be described as defensive. Tactically he prepares very well for games, which helps us as players in this area. He's a great technician who knows when a team needs to attack and attack with all their strength. And when defence is needed it's the same attention to detail. He understands what could be the key to winning games, and looks at them beyond the context of what's occured in the last few matches."
