He told Sport: "For me, Michel is 'The Coach', with a capital letter. He's the one who has given me everything, and I will always be grateful to him. Just like with the others, but with him I have brought out my best version from the first day we arrived in Girona.

"That first day he told me to stay calm, to enjoy myself, that I would always play with him and that gave me incredible confidence to give my best. Then we had many arguments and quarrels, but in the end Sunday came and I was in the line-up.

"And that is the most important thing for a player, that a coach trusts you week in and week out. Michel has been fundamental in my career."
