On Eddie:
“He’s the best coach of my career,” he said.
“It’s difficult to define in just one area. He has so many good facets.
“His training theory is first class, there is not even a hint of boredom in any meeting. What he announces always makes sense.
“The way he meets me on a personal level suits me extremely well. People are important to him. This is an outstanding component for him. He also asks a player on a day off; you can discuss very private matters with him. I’m in a very familiar relationship with him.”
