"He's a special player, a special talent – he's just special!" Williams said, speaking to the media at Chloorkop.
"He brings that Brazilian flair that they are known to have, and besides that, he is willing to learn. There's a lot of things that the coach and the players want him to do, especially the counter-press. We always fight with him to do it, and against SuperSport you saw that. It's just key for him to remain humble and calm and maintain the consistency that he brings since he's joined. It's amazing."
