Sid, those million things on his mind?

So just give us an insight.

Obviously, you live in Spain.

We're on the outside looking in.

We see glimpses of it.

But the scrutiny he's under is quite literally 24-7, isn't it?

You know, one of his biggest problems is going to be when he's not physically 100%.

That's what's going to turn into the mental pressure.

Because when he's 100% fit...

and flying, all the outside noise and whether he says the wrong thing at the wrong time, he can get away with that because he can step on the field and he knows when he's 100% he can produce at a certain level, which is miles away from most players in the world, let's be quite honest.

The problem he will have is,

When he's not 100% and he's carrying, whether it's an ankle injury or whether it's his groin and he's not producing, he has to figure out... He has to figure out how to live with that himself and not be listening just to the outside noise.

Yeah.

Because he's 18 and he's not...

Listen, in terms of football, he's mature.

But in terms of as a person, he's still got a lot of maturing to do.

You think what we were like when we were 18.

It's a completely different world.

And it's a completely different world.

You think you played with some of the best players in the world during your time, Stevie.
