Roma head coach Jose Mourinho spoke about the performance of striker Romelu Lukaku in the match against Sheriff.
Romelu Lukaku, Getty Images"Did you expect such a fighting form? Yes, I did. Because of his physique, he is one of those players who need to play and be as mobile as possible. This can only be achieved by accumulating playing time, so I put him in the game.
I thought about substituting him earlier, but given that I had already made four substitutions, I was afraid that something might happen to one of my players. That's why I only brought on Andrea Belotti for Lukaku in the last 15 minutes. The extra minutes were in Lukaku's favour," Mourinho was quoted as saying by Roma's official website.
