00:00In terms of the numbers, yes, but we always see a shift from Bukayo every single year.
00:05He's providing something else, he's adding things to his game, he's more and more consistent
00:12and as you mentioned now, his numbers in terms of impact in goals and assists is incredible
00:19at this stage of the season. He can only improve, he can only get better, he's got the right
00:23players around him as well to continue to do so and especially because he wants more.
00:29You spoke about when you grew up, you idolised Cristiano Ronaldo.
00:33Do you think those numbers that Ronaldo produced were quite remarkable?
00:36Bukayo should look to try and reach those sort of numbers.
00:39To look is always good, you know, and probably the way Cristiano started his career
00:46and when he joined Manchester United, nobody probably expected in the first few seasons
00:49to be able to do that. But again, it was about his mentality, his work ethic, how he developed
00:54his skill, his chemistry with his team and to play in a team that has the capacity to
01:00be dominant is very, very important. I think he's got that context and he's aiming for
01:06that and I think it's a positive thing.
