“He’s a very, very good manager,” Ahamada told Palace's match programme. “I played against him in Germany, when he was at Frankfurt.

“His team used to play 3-4-3 – a very good team, with very good players. Their tactics let them press a lot. They won the ball high, played well with it, and got forwards very quickly.

“For me, he's the kind of coach I've always known. His training is the same as in German football, so for me it's like I'm playing there again, except that I'm in London! I like this mentality a lot.”
