00:00It's difficult for me to predict the future, but the long-term future, the only thing I

00:05can expect or predict is that he's in a very good place at the moment, he plays in a very

00:10good team that provides him with good opportunities and that he's able to do special things.

00:20What makes him, for me, even more special is that in the first hour you thought, before

00:27we scored the 1-1, you thought, hmm, he's not playing his best game today.

00:32And then come up with a half hour or 35 minutes, I don't know how long it was afterwards, with

00:36assists, two goals, having a shot on the bar, being a constant threat.

00:41That is something that many players can do if they've played the first hour like he did.

00:46So that is also what makes him special apart from, if you just look at the goals, his finish

00:53is so clinical.

00:54He's a special player, but that's what we all know.
