"'I understand the nature of the game. If his commitment and focus changes, then it becomes an issue. But I don't see that with Youri at all. He's just so professional. He's a really respectful young guy.

'His representatives have a job in terms of trying to do the best they can for him. I try to concentrate on the football side and give him my best."
