“The truth is from day one he has given me a lot of confidence," he added.
"I train with him and I’ve played five games with the first team. He talks a lot with me, what needs to be improved, and is very supportive.
“He says that I have to improve without the ball, and then I have everything, but he is happy. He wants me to press without the ball even more.”
