“Out of the field, I don’t know him very well. But he looks like a guy who is really shy and really respectful. He always listens to advice from his teammates. He’s still young. He still can improve himself.

“I think he can put more aggressiveness in his game. I know he’s not a strong fellow, but he’s a fantastic footballer. Technically, he’s amazing, and he sees everything before the other players. I think he will be a really great player, but he needs game time. He needs to play more. But he has fantastic quality.

“He’s really clever. He’s got really great technique. The main thing I think we would love to improve is the impact in the physical way. He will get muscles – he will get strong. He’s still so young.

“Honestly, I don’t know [how big an impact he’ll have]. But he’s a really talented player. I think he will need to play several games at the high level internationally. He will take advantage of it, and his confidence will increase.

“I’m sure he will be an important player for the U.S. national team, especially because he is really clever and his technique is fantastic.”
