I learned a lot in the Minor Leagues, spending six years there. I honed my skills, as far as coaching goes. I was able to work with the players in a lot of facets of the game.
I'm sure Mourinho will make me a better player and a better person.
There are some agents who do a good job looking after players but there are others who stifle and mollycoddle them.
At Real Madrid, we have many good players that the team can learn from.
We have to let them grow, because young players can always improve. That goes for Jack Wilshere, too.
Arsenal have a history of bringing through youngsters, giving them opportunities, and turning them into world-class players.
In Germany, young players are given more time, more patience. In England, they prefer to buy already-high-level players rather than spending some time building up a really talented young guy.
You bring in Joao Moutinho and it's not just how he plays it's the experience he brings to the team and to the group.
What's being considered now is solidifying my place in the NBA. Keep focusing on the grass roots, because I want the next guys to be good. Right now, all I'm doing for camps and academies and stuff, I'm just finding the next NBA player.
I would be very surprised if Phil Neville didn't go into management and possibly Johnny Heitinga, too.
It is an important duty at Arsenal for the experienced players to show the younger ones that there is a chance to make it into the first team.
