Barry praises Reo Coker
Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry has praised fellow teammate Nigel Reo Coker and labelled him as one of the unsung heroes for Villa´s great season.
"We are different sorts of players," Barry said.
"Generally Nigel plays a deeper role.
"He does get forward a bit but, rather than try and play the killer ball, he will find me and hopefully I can get it up to the other lads.
"We complement each other very well and I think it is going very well. We both work hard to try to get the ball back although Nigel's role is one that won't get him the headlines.
"But we all realise Nigel is doing a job for the team and he is not the sort of person to worry too much about not getting the headlines.
"As long as he plays well and we pick up points, then that is more than enough for him."
