"I learned a lot from Xabi Alonso in Madrid. He was a top-level player who understands football inside out. Even though I was injured for a long time and couldn't train with everyone, his advice was extremely valuable to me. Now, I'm learning from Paulo Fonseca (my coach at Lyon), who is also very demanding. With an open mind, you learn every day from great managers, and that's what I'm aiming for," he said.
