He will be great in the future.’ He continued: ‘We have to be careful to say to him things that he can improve at this moment, but not overload him. Even if he’s a talented guy, we have to leave him a little bit. ‘We already started to work with him on his body shape, with the movements and how to participate more in the game because sometimes he’s absent. ‘Normally we do video (work) with him and maybe (videos of) other players to show him how they are working. ‘I think it’s a process, nothing happens in one week or two weeks but he will be great.’
