Glen Johnson: Rice is the best player of the season, and the game against Real Madrid has improved his level

May 9th Liverpool's former player Glenn Johnson accepted an interview with the media and talked about the best player of the Premier League this season.

Glen Johnson said: "There is not only one best candidate for the season, but I will choose Rice. I don't remember the last time he was not doing well. He can play an impact even if he is not in his best form."

" Judging from his recent performance against Real Madrid, he can stand up when the team needs it, and after this game his level has been improved to a higher level."

"I know that the best player of the season is usually the top scorer, but I think if I were asked to pick the best team of the season, the first player I think that if I were to choose the best team of the season, the first player I thought of was Rice, because he is an excellent all-round midfielder."

"He is a leader, he is very hard-working in training and can contribute goals and assists, and the characteristics you want to see in a midfielder Rice has all the features you want to see in a midfielder."
