“It’s the nature of English fans, it’s the nature of big clubs when the player is big in the club and is an important part of the club history,” praised the former Real Madrid manager.
“Every club in England does that. I can only speak by Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford but in both stadiums when we got former important players the reception is normally phenomenal. He’s at home and I believe that one day he will be back home.”
