๐จ๐ฃ๏ธ Thomas Tuchel: "There is no doubt that Nico O'Reilly will become a TOP player. His rise is amazing, to be so influential in such a short time and to create an almost completely new role of a left-back."
"Even if he plays as a left-back, he spends most of the time in the left 10, or arrives in number nine positions to score decisive goals for his club. In training, he starts scoring so hopefully we can use his skills."
"He is very humble and hardworking. He has the body, the skillset, talent, and the mindset. He will have a top career. I am not sure if it will be at left-back because he can play as a left right and central midfielder. A top player." (BBC)
