Southampton boss Ronald Koeman loves Graziano Pelle's passion.
Pelle has previously admitted he was too hot-headed working under Koeman at Feyenoord but the Saints boss will not seek to quench his forward's natural fire.
"He's an emotional guy, we are normally in Holland maybe a little bit cooler than Italian or Spanish people and, OK, that's a good mix," said Koeman. "And if I think he's doing that the wrong way, I'm the coach and I have to tell him what isn't good.
"We know each other very well and if I have any doubts about that then I will speak to him, and speak to any player, not just Graziano, because we must know that we have to work hard to be successful.
"These awards mean that we, not me but we, did a good job in September. It's a compliment for me as manager, for the technical staff and for Graziano as the player."
