"I think it's something that comes when you’ve been with a club for so long," he told the club website. 

"You start looking at the club a bit more than just as a player; than just something that you’re working for. And that’s the way that I like to approach things.

"Try to know how the fans would feel, how they feel, what they feel for the club, what they know about the club - these are things that I've always tried to know and to feel since I arrived.

"Obviously, when you spend more time on the pitch and you know the emotions that it brings to the fans, then you start becoming a little more like them. And think that's the best combination that you can have: when you play for a club and you have that love for the club, I think it's the perfect match."
