00:00In terms of knowing the way we want to play, probably not yet. In terms of physicality,
00:06I think he's ready because he was already playing games there. So it's just to understand
00:10if he needs more time to understand the way we want to play. But overall, I think he can
00:17play. For me, he can do that fantastic, dropping and give us extra men when we need more passes,
00:24more possession, and then to find the right moment to attack. I think he can do that very
00:29good. He can play as an attacking midfielder. If we need, he can play also outside. He can
00:35play in different positions.
00:37Potentially, he's a top player, no doubt. Now, I've known Joao for many, many years.
00:45For sure now, working with him day by day, I will know him even better. As I said, it's
00:51a little bit like Mischa. I think we're going to try to help them to improve and to see
00:57if they can give one step forward to reach that kind of level for those players.
