Tottenham coach Mourinho praised Steven Belwyn, who signed in January, who scored his first goal in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Manchester City.
The Netherlands international completed a £25 million transfer last week, two days before the January transfer window closed. In Sunday's game against the Premier League champions, he went directly to the starting lineup and had an immediate impact. In the middle of the second half, he scored with a beautiful volley from the penalty area.
Seven minutes later, Sun Xingmin extended the lead for Tottenham, ensuring the victory and making Tottenham rise to fifth place.
Looking back at the results of the game, Mourinho praised his new signing in particular, but he insisted that his goals were only part of the 22-year-old's perfect performance.
Mourinho told Tottenham’s official website: “This is a goal for the debut, adding to the team’s good performance. In addition to scoring, I think his performance is very good, very tough and very mature.”
" We work hard in a week. He came to us on Tuesday, so he has a full week to work and learn as quickly as possible what we want from him."
"against a powerful enemy like Kyle Walker, It was a very tough performance, but then he cleverly appeared in other areas, trying to create some trouble for Manchester City. Defensively, he is very clear about his position, protection area, and coverage space. So very, very good, of course this goal It’s a beautiful goal and it’s very important to us.”
goalkeeper Hugo Lori saved Ilke Gundogan’s penalty in the first half, and he was also quick to adapt to Berwyn’s club. It left a deep impression.
"What a good goal, what a good start." The French international said: "It's not easy to enter the Premier League from a different league. He started the game against Manchester City. He did a good job and he was very decisive. "
" This will help him enter the team, enter the club, and even have a closer relationship with the fans here in the future. But he can't start in a better way."
