The young star, who praised the experienced manager Unai Emery, shared the tremendous tactical impact of the Spanish coach on him with the public.

Stating that he was reborn thanks to Emery's vision, the talented player proved once again to the whole world the mastery of the Spanish manager in revealing the hidden potential of footballers. When the successful player's desire to improve himself and his coach's tactical genius combined, an unstoppable attacking force emerged on the pitch.

This tremendous development process turned into a story that will be shown as an example to young players in the football world. These sincere confessions made by the Senegalese star about his coach after the Fenerbahce match aroused a great echo in the British press and managed to enter among the most discussed sports news of the day. While football fans welcomed these honest statements with appreciation, the undisputed success of Unai Emery in player development was registered once again.
