He looks like he's a lot fitter than he's ever been.
it looks like he's picked up a little bit of pace as well.
I don't think this is something that Ruben Amarin didn't like.
One of the things, because his style of play, the way he moves, looks slow.
And I think it's deceiving.
He's not slow.
No, he's not slow.
And yesterday he looked quick.
He was quick in closing down.
And I mean, he's an intelligent player.
He actually said that to us yesterday as well.
He said that Michael's looked after him and he's not pushed him either.
Where, you know, some managers are...
They are nervous about their position, so they're pushing players, and they're pushing them in before they should be.
A really, really good example is, I go back to Bayern, because I think Vincent Kompany's done really, really well there.
So about a month ago, I asked him about Musiala and Alphonse Davies, you know.
Musiali's back, but he's not played nine things.
He said, no, I know, because I had so many injuries in my life, I know how difficult it is to come back from them, so I'm not going to push any player coming back from injury.
I'm going to give him 45 minutes there, 10 minutes there, and then slowly, and then we'll see how it goes.
And I don't think there's a lot of managers out there who, first of all, have that kind of experience, but also are brave enough to do that with key players.
