He\u2019s got a great football brain. He\u2019s a really good passer of the ball. He heads the ball well and when he goes in to tackle, he means it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You don\u2019t stay at Real Madrid for the amount of years he did and win Champions League titles if you\u2019re not an absolute top player and people see what you\u2019re really good at.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018So I think next season he could definitely give us a little bit more with his experience.
