AS Roma manager and Portugal international, Jose Mourinho, has opened up on why he doesn’t speak highly of Former Chelsea star Tammy Abraham.

This is dspite the fact that Abraham plays a decisive role in his side’s UEFA Europa Conference League semi-final second-leg 1-0 victory over Leicester City on Thursday night.

Mourinho stressed that he refused to speak highly of Abraham because he believes the striker can do better, adding that he is a great player with the potential to be even greater.

Abraham’s early goal ensured Roma defeated the Foxes at the Stadio Olimpico, giving Mourinho’s side a 2-1 victory on aggregate after the first leg ended 1-1 in England.

Roma will now face Feyenoord in the final at the Air Albania Stadium on May 25.

“Tammy knows I refuse to speak highly of him. Because he can do better and he knows that,” Mourinho said at his post-match press conference.

“He is a great player with potential to be even greater.
