Although Vitsa Arnhem lost tonight (Thursday) 1-0 to Rome in the first game of the quarter-finals of the Conference League, Eli Desa has won much praise from none other than Jose Mourinho, the Portuguese coach of the team from the Italian capital. The Dutch were better in the first half and according to XG statistics were expected to score 2.01 goals, but were inaccurate in the last kick.
Mourinho was unhappy with the first half and although he went down to the break with a 0-1 lead from a Sergio Oliveira goal, he made a triple substitution with the opening of the second half, with two wingers, Insley Maitland-Niles and Theos Vienna, being replaced by Brick Kressdorf and Stefan Al Sharawi.
“The game demanded these exchanges,” he said Mourinho At the end. “Eli Desa has created a lot of danger. We had a lot of trouble on his part and after the changes we had more control. Luckily we had quality on the bench and I took advantage of that. “
