The red and black fans crossed their fingers, hoping to see Broja at least for a few minutes with Sylvinho on the bench, but that was not to be, as the coach decided not to field him for the last two challenges, stressing in the press conference that , Broja had not played any of the 4 challenges of the month, while he needs time to recover calmly after the serious injury.
In fact, they didn't waste time at Chelsea, but coach Pochettino collected it for Sunday's challenge against Man.City. Not only did he collect it, but at the most delicate moment of the challenge, when the "citizens" were leading 3-4, Pochettino threw it on the playing field, in the 90th minute.
On the first touch of the ball, Broja bluffed the entire Man.City backline winning an 11-yarder. From the penalty spot, Palmer proved to be accurate by leveling the scores at 4-4. At the end of the challenge, the English media did not spare praise for Broja, even The Sun rated him with a grade of 7:
"He wasn't on the field much, but he had a big impact by winning a penalty that brought the equalizer in the last minute," writes the British newspaper.
Coach Pochettino did not spare positive words either, who emphasized that this time the result was different since Broja was also activated. (A2 Televizion)
