“For me he can play until he is 50. He looks really sharp and he looks so good,” Martinez told FootballersLives.tv.
“He makes things look easy – it’s the hardest thing to do. To understand how well he hits the ball is something.
“He puts the ball there and looks at you and hits the ball top corner, if he misses he hits the post, or crossbar.
“That left foot. He is small, but so strong.”
