He said, “He's an essential type of player in the squad. Every team needs players of his profile. Battlers. People with strength, character. He's naturally like that.

"He can be a big leader in the dressing room in the reconstruction process. When the veterans, we leave in time, people like him will have to take a step forward. It's very important in a team to count on players like Ronald. Football is not about putting on shorts and going out to play.

"You need more to create a good atmosphere. We are well served by the youngsters. Us veterans try and soak up what they teach us."
