Of course, we can only transmit a certain amount of information, but everything is about how they receive them, how they assimilate them and how they turn them into progress. And he does this exactly!
When he took the step to Newcastle, he started playing constantly and gained confidence. The coach there trusts him, uses him at a high level (…) and I think it was a brave decision on his part. But here it is developing and becoming a top player.

I don't try to compare to him, it's not about me. I offer him all my experience, everything I can from what I have accumulated. We have different styles, but I help him understand the basic principles of the defensive game, on all areas of the field.

The more they play, the better, I understand and progress, ”said Ashley Cole, who accumulated 107 selections in the national of England between 2001 and 2014.
