"It takes time. This season, I'm playing more, I'm feeling more confident and physically I'm in better shape. And, to be honest, I believe that I've been taking better care of myself in terms of recovery and diet too.
"I get on really well with him (Slot). I value his clarity and directness. He's very clear in what he wants from us players and I like that in a coach. I know where I stand and he knows what to expect from me.
"Plus, I love his style of play, building from the back - that's how I was brought up. The manager saw potential in me as a number six and I think it's been going pretty well so far.
"It required adjusting my game, especially defensively, but I’m quite happy with my development so far. Of course, there’s always room for improvement, for example I need to get better at anticipating play, being proactive instead of reactive.
"Sometimes I find myself waiting to see where the ball lands, but if I could anticipate better I'd beat my opponent to it. That's definitely something I'm working on."
