Albert Ferrer: “So there are two things: with the ball he has to be more like a leader and, in terms of defence, he has to be thinking more about being proactive.

John Van ‘t Schip on Philippe Sandler: “I was immediately convinced of his footballing qualities. He has a great pass and a good cross ball.

“Philippe has the insight to play through the lines and he dares to play that ball.

“He is also a very good boy in the dressing room and empowered in the field. He has that from Ajax. It is a great advantage that he ends up with his mentor Kompany again.”

That’s all for today, but we’ll be back with more of the same tomorrow.
