He said, "The numbers that he is doing and continues to do, are a step in growth that I have seen playing together with (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic, who went from a 10 goal per season player to 30 goals per season.
“(Edinson) Cavani did the same thing.
“Cavani played closer to the goal. Ibrahimovic changed his attitude in that he used to play trying to make others around him better, similarly to (Marcus) Thuram, to becoming a striker that resolved games on his own.”
