Will Hughes says he loves his time at Crystal Palace and he learns a lot from manager Patrick Vieira.
The 26-year-old joined Palace last summer and has got a place at starting XI over recent months.
Having been asked about how much he had learnt from the boss, Hughes responded.
“A lot, even more so in that midfield position. Look at the career he’s had - he has won almost anything," he said.
"Any little snippets I can get from him, he is more than happy to let the players in his office to ask him anything that you need. That has been a big help.
"He’s cool and calculated, but if he needs to tell you to do something, he won’t hesitate to do it.
"He has got that aura about him - he has got that respect that just comes naturally. It has been a pleasure working under him.”
The midfielder has also been asked about how his role has changed at Selhurst Park.
"Throughout the years, I have had to deal with that and adapted my game to a more defensive-minded player - playing at the bottom of a three in midfield or the holding midfield.
“I have definitely adapted. You have to adapt to get into teams. When I went to Watford, I was playing with some excellent players in my position that I couldn’t get near, so I had to adapt, and likewise here.
“Preferably, I would prefer to play as a number six, but that’s not to say I don’t enjoy playing further forward as well, because I do, and I am capable of doing that as well.”
