So, yeah, he\u2019s a leader on and off the pitch, and also like personally, he&#8217;s always very nice to me when I came in here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;In my first days, he showed open arms to me, so it&#8217;s always a nice feeling when that comes from your most important player, the captain as well.
