Casemiro, five Champions Leagues but for me, if you want me to choose one, Thomas Partey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a debate in my head on who is actually the best holding midfielder I ever played with; the debate was between Fernandinho, Thomas Partey, and Rodri, but Thomas Partey, I don\u2019t know (in awe).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe (Partey) has everything. Rodri is absolutely so well fit for the City system, if you take him out, it\u2019s different City. He\u2019s like the main detail there.
