"I have to thank him for his performance. If he hadn't performed well, you would have killed me. He saved me today. I trust him. He's not perfect, but he will be. I can't compare him to Varane now. I also played him in the Champions League when he was this age. If he was a Turkish referee, he would have given a yellow card in the first minute and I would have had to change him in the fifth minute. Montella has a lot of players, but he is also happy with Yusuf's performance."hurriyet
