The head coach of "Roma" Jose Mourinho praised Paulo Dybala, who opened the score in the match of the 2nd round of the group stage of the Europa League against "HIK" (3:0).
"Dybala scored the first goal and the team changed its attitude to the game. We acted poorly in the first half. It felt like we were playing 11 on 11. After Paulo came on, we switched to playing with two central defenders and knew we needed to score two goals quickly and make the most of the extra player.
I feel bad for HIK because they started well. It was difficult to adjust after removing a player. VAR made the right decision, but I've been in situations like this as a coach and it's difficult for the coach and the players," Sky Sport Italia quoted Mourinho as saying.
We will remind. that the 28-year-old Argentine came on as a substitute at the beginning of the second half and scored in the opponent's goal already in the 47th minute of the meeting. In the last five matches of the Romans, Dybala scored three goals and two assists.
