It does sound odd. It is a novel way to explain why some people think he has changed from an ugly duckling to a swan in the space of a couple of months. A much more creative reason than claiming a trip to Specsavers has helped someone to see what was there to be seen when he signed. He was a swan at Atletico and he was a swan when we paid £60+ million for him.This might sound odd but one thing I’ve noticed is that he seems to be moving his feet a bit quicker in possession recently. He has a peculiar, atypical wide legged stance and running style which made him slow to turn and susceptible to having the ball taken off him when pressed. Seems like a small adjustment has made him much better balanced. Good coaching.
