"He can play ball and he can go home without taking a bath, it's the same thing, it's unbelievable. It's the same thing, it's an incredible thing. He plays ball, the guy doesn't throw himself on his feet, he doesn't get dirty, he doesn't sweat. It's an incredible thing. Bellingham? Yes, he's very good, but, then, it happens that they're players of a fabulous level, it's just that we're going to go back to more or less the same thing, I mean, because, sometimes, they have so much recognition some of them...", he continued to introduce Carvajal into the conversation.
