RALPH Hasenhuttl has not given up hope of keeping on-loan Armando Broja at St Mary’s next season, teasing “let’s have a look at what we do” and adding: “I know this would be good for him.”
Ralph Hasenhuttl said: “The interesting thing is that young players are not allowed to have, two, three or four bad games because it is not understandable. But it is understandable. After the first big impact he made in the league everybody knows him now and everybody is taking care of him. It is much harder. I know this as a striker. If nobody knows you and does not know your strengths, then it is easier to compete. It is completely normal that there comes a moment when you have a little bit of a setback. The important thing is that he starts working hard again and fighting to be dangerous up front.”
Ralph Hasenhuttl continued: “The more you do for the team, the more you invest, the earlier you get back to the situation where you get chances. At the moment when he plays, the number of chances is going down. He needs to invest a little bit more in some moments. Sometimes he must learn how to set his body. We have good examples of this in the team at the moment and they show this in an impressive way. It is good for young players to have situations like this, to go through it. This was the reason he came to us, to learn and to get better. It has been a very important first season for him.”
