At times, it was even a breath of fresh air for him. He was very often decisive. Even when he’s not decisive in terms of goals and assists, there’s content, because he’s extremely generous. He is on a very important series of consecutive matches. That he is more fulfilled thanks to his season, yes. It was the same during the World Cup. He received some criticism may be exaggerated. But it’s true that Atlético suits him perfectly.»
