00:00Yeah, for sure when he scored four goals, but I just said to Cole, he scored four, he

00:12I know Cole from many years ago, I had him already one entire season with under-23 at

00:16City and then with the first team. The best thing he has is that in the way he is today

00:21as a boy, he was exactly in that way three, four years ago. So goals, assists, best player

00:27of the Premier League, this doesn't change the way he is. He's a simple guy, he's a humble

00:31guy and this is, for him, for me, the most important thing.

00:36How special is he though?

00:39He's a top player, he's a top player. And the important thing about the previous thing

00:53assists, he's a top player, but he never changed. And this is the most important thing.
