He had 4 interceptions today and usually it's 2-3 per match. Definitely something to brag about.
If the emphasis of his game are interceptions than I must say he's not excelling neither in that department.
He's back finally. I expect him to have a great game. His understanding with Tevez was quite something and always liked him when he was little further from the goal; he's not a great finisher, but all that talent and skill instantly become more useful.
