Quite unusual to be so frank about a player. Normally give a generalised answer.."very important player" etc. But this is the type of stuff the pundits say. And quite early on in the season to be so up front about a player.
I remember years ago Mourinho was asked the question when he is giving interviews what proportion of his answer is aimed at fans, what proportion is aimed at the media, and what proportion is aimed at the players.
He said 1st it is the players, 2nd it is the players, and 3rd it is the players.
