More from Valencia's Argentinian:

Roberto Ayala: "He is the best talent I have seen in a long time. All of the big players have a temper. You need that to be special; if you take it away you take away the player.

"He can do special things at the World Cup next year. I saw him at Euro 2004 and he was so young and yet so talented that he was probably the best player in the tournament. England now have a player who can give them something special, something different and that will make them successful. He is unpredictable.

"To win tournaments you need big players. Brazil have many - Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Robinho. Italy have [Francesco] Totti. That is what sets them apart and now England have another."
