Yousef Salech believes he and Jack Moylan are proving mutually beneficial as Cardiff City improve their Championship fortunes.
Salech scored the winner against Birmingham on Saturday after being included as a late starting change following a five-week injury absence.
Cardiff planned to use him for a maximum 45 minutes, but he lasted the full 90 in atrocious conditions, while summer signing Moylan also played his part in the win.
"I love playing with Jack. I hope he feels the same," said Salech.
"He's more mobile than me, but probably I suck in more defenders closer to me and give him space so I hope and think we both benefit from playing with each other when we do."

Salech's deft winner came in the 31st minute, making the most of Ollie Tanner's assist for the Dane's goal third in the league since the Bluebird's return to the second-tier for 2026-27.
Ex-Birmingham player Krystian Bielik was stood down shortly before kick off after suffering a groin issue during the warm-up, prompting Salech's promotion to the starting line-up "two-and-half minutes" before kick off.
Before grabbing the games only goal, last season's top scorer had earlier seen his penalty attempt saved by Blues keeper James Beadle.
"I think the best thing as a player is to see it as any other chance in the game. I've missed a lot of chances in a lot of games. I've also missed penalties before," added Salech.
"But that's not going to end the game. There's still 70 minutes left to play."
Salech's Aberfan education
The build-up to Saturday's encounter was filled with emotion, with boss Brian Barry-Murphy highlighting the importance of a fitting performance as they marked the Aberfan disaster of 1966.
In the week before facing Birmingham, the Cardiff City squad and management visited Aberfan, taking in the graveyard where 116 children and 28 adults who died in the catastrophe are buried.
Salech said: "First of all, I wasn't really educated or aware of this historic event before this week, but Brian and all of the staff of the club have informed us on Monday and we've seen almost a whole movie about it and also spoken between players."
He added: "It was very emotional to get out there and see the memorial and speak to people who were involved and who were there that day that happened and speaking about their beloved ones and classmates and family members and everything.
"And obviously I think it had a big impact on us on Tuesday and towards the build up towards the game... it seemed as though there was that little bit extra bite in every tackle, every chase for the ball.
"That comes from a team doing well anyway, but I just thought if that had played a little bit into it, it could have."
