Salisu did a good job on his debut- Southampton manager Ralph Hassenhutl praises Ghanaian defender
Southampton manager Ralph Hassenhutl has praised Ghanaian defender Mohammed Salisu after producing a solid performance on his debut for the Saints.The 22-year-old played lasted the entire duration as Southampton beat Wolves to advance to the FA Cup quarter-finals with victory at the Molineux.Salisu who joined from Real Valladolid in the summer had to wait for months to make his debut due to injuries and fitness issues.Second-half goals from Danny Ings and Stuart Armstrong gave the visitors a confidence-boosting win.It was a good performance from the team today. From the first moment, we showedthat we wanted to go into the next round, Hasenhttl said. I am very proud of the team.Its good that we have a few players back (from injury). With Sali and Kyle, it gives you more opportunities and gives us the chance to stick to the game plan and play a good game.Normally you get self-confidence with winning games, but we didnt win in the past weeks.It (self-confidence) can also come from getting players back on the pitch. Today we had a few more options, and especially Kyle and Sali did a good job today, and all the rest were really strong and well committed.After a few difficult weeks, it was important we picked a strong side and go for a win. It can lift you.
