“He plays as a winger and has to attack and defend as a winger”, Bielsa wants it that way and considers that he can achieve it thanks to the fact that he recovers his physical condition faster than the others.

He added 125 minutes, had a passing efficiency of 79% and gave an assist in the last game against Charlton.
