I try to see how they move. There are so many I look at, especially the midfielders. You have the guys from Barcelona , the guys from Manchester City. Jorginho at Chelsea now. There are so many to learn from.

“But I don’t think you can compare the two of us. He is so much better than me. He had so much quality. I will never reach that level. I don’t want to compare myself to Cruyff. And I think people who do that don’t want me to compare to Cruyff, they just see similarities in us. But not the same qualities. I watch his videos and he was amazing; the way he moved with the ball, the way he saw the game.”
