WHAT RUBEN AMORIM SAID
On substitute Hojlund, he told : "He is improving. He is more near the goal now. He knows better the movement he has to do. He could score more this evening, but he is scoring, working and controlling the ball better."
Amorim added on Amad: "He can be a good player in that position. We need left-footed players in this team to play that role. In the first half, he was coming for the ball too much. He needs to play near the opposition defence more. He will improve in the future for sure."
