“He is young, very talented and we want to see him during this period in training to teach him some principles. And probably he will play too, we’ll see.

“I’m happy to be where I am, but I know I haven’t done anything yet. I don’t know if I’ll get the chance to play, but it’s definitely a big boost and a great reward.
