00:00Calvin looked quite comfortable at Centre Back, how did you rate his performance?
00:04It was really good and the problems that we had give presence.
00:08I know Calvin when he can get the ball and see all the pitch in front of him is a really, really good player.
00:13When I have him in smaller spaces I have even more problems.
00:17So that's why with the problems that we had and make an incredible effort being in this position
00:21he made, yesterday Juanma practiced some patterns to give confidence to him
00:26but with the ball was really good and helped us a lot.
00:29So I'm very, very pleased for his performance.
00:32You said at one point last season you couldn't see him in your system sometimes.
00:36Can you see him now?
00:38Well, when we have all the central defenders we have a lot of central defenders.
00:43So that's why it's not his position but we will see.
