Bernd Leno's coach praises Broja: We've seen the best version of Armando

Burnley manager Scott Parker went and met Armando Broja immediately after he was substituted in the final minutes of the match against Newcastle. It was immediately apparent that it was a positive gesture for the striker and this was confirmed by the words the manager said in today's press conference.

He was asked about Broja's performance in that challenge and Parker did not spare praise for him, describing it as a very good performance from the Albanian national team striker.

"I was really happy with it, really. I think it was the best version of Armando we've seen."

He played the first game as a starter and to be honest I think he was great. At the beginning of the game, when we were 11 against 11, he was a platform for us, he gave us something. He did it even when we were down to 10, when that energy line starts to drop at that moment, when you are a number 9 up there alone and you can lose your enthusiasm because you are fighting alone there. But I repeat, he was great, so I am very happy for him.

"Rotation or selection? A bit of both. I thought we needed to freshen things up a bit after a busy week. But I also felt that in this game against a team like Newcastle, we would need to exploit the space they left behind us, so we needed that kind of player profile. As I said, it worked well ," said the coach, giving credit to Broja for his performance.
