Juric Lauds Lookman
Juric labelled the Nigeria international a “spectacular player”.
“I think we pushed him (Lookman) to play more than perhaps he should’ve done in these games because we wanted him to achieve match fitness,” Juric told DAZN Italia.
“He is a particular type of guy, but in training and on the pitch, he is a sight to behold, just a spectacular player.
” A winner, with incredible determination, and I am very happy for him. We were only talking yesterday he said if he trains like this, the goal will come, and today he scored a great goal.”
