I try to learn everything about English football and it’s important for us to know how English referees react in situations because it was really different in the last weeks." “Of course, they are individuals but there was one situation on the sideline at Chelsea, very dynamic, where there was no foul but in my opinion they have to say to the player: ‘Please, if you hit the leg it is broken so wait, be calm and be cool in this situation’.

You should try to keep the ball always – that is what I want. But it’s important for me to understand all this and that is what I am trying to do at the moment.”
