Amorim Praises Bruno Fernandes After Hat-Trick Against Real Sociedad
Manchester United midfielder Ruben Amorim has praised captain Bruno Fernandes for his outstanding performance in their UEFA Europa League win over Real Sociedad on Thursday. Amorim described Fernandes as a major threat, especially when he’s close to the opponent’s box.
Fernandes delivered a brilliant display in the Europa League Round of 16 second leg, scoring a hat-trick in a 4-1 win at Old Trafford. The victory secured United’s place in the Europa League quarter finals with a 5-2 aggregate win. United will now face French side Lyon in the next round.
After the match, Amorim shared his thoughts on Fernandes’ versatility and determination. He said Fernandes is highly competitive and always eager to win, even to the point of being too intense at times.
“He’s the kind of player who can switch positions easily and still deliver,” Amorim said. “He can take set-pieces, score penalties, press high, and control the game’s flow late on.”
Amorim added that Fernandes’ ability to play as a No.8, No.10, or even No.6 gives the team more flexibility. He stated how dangerous Fernandes becomes near the box, with his ability to both score and create chances.
Nigerian footballer, Ademola Lookman speaks on Nigeria’s Bronze from the Afcon game.
It can be recalled that the country won the medal after their victory against Egypt.
Lookman stated during an interview “Everyone wanted to win the gold medal. We came for the trophy, but it didn’t happen.”
“We leave the tournament with the bronze medal, and that is enough.”
Moroccan player Brahim Díaz speaks after his missed penalty that resulted in the country’s defeat to Senegal.
The player expressed how sad he was about the missed penalty and blames himself. “My soul hurts. I dreamed of this title because of all the love you guys have given me, every message and every act of support that made me feel like I wasn’t alone.”
“I gave my all, with my heart leading the way. I messed up yesterday, and I’m fully responsible for it. I’m really sorry for what happened.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
