"For me as a midfielder, Paul Scholes was the best possible teacher. When people ask me my hardest opponent, I always refer to Paul in training. Facing him improved me so much because his astonishing quality gave me something to aim for.

Seeing Scholesy made you stand back and realize you had a long way to go, because he was awesome."
