Ferguson: ‘On fire’ Rowe won’t think about Premier League move vs. Aston Villa
Ferguson: ‘On fire’ Rowe won’t think about Premier League move vs. Aston Villa Scotland international Lewis Ferguson feels Bologna ‘still believe’ they can qualify for the Europa League semis despite a 3-1 loss against Aston Villa in the first leg and praises English winger Jonathan Rowe: ‘He’s on fire, our best player in the last three months. ’ Bologna visit Aston Villa in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final this evening, but the Rossoblu must climb back from a 3-1 deficit.
“Anything can happen, and we still believe,” Ferguson told TNT Sports. “A lot of people on the outside might think at 3-1 it has finished the tie, but there are still 90 minutes to play and we’ve not given up. We’ve got nothing to lose now.
We will give it absolutely everything. ” “We definitely have to take the positives,” Ferguson continued. “Large parts of the game we dominated and that’s not easy against a side like Villa.
Especially the first half, we created a good few chances, the one off the bar, the goal disallowed, a goal could have changed the game at that point and then we go in at half-time 1-0 down after conceding from a set piece. “Overall, we were really frustrated, but at this level it’s fine lines. It’s moments that cost us because over the piece we were good enough to get a decent result.
” English winger Rowe scored Bologna’s only goal in the reverse fixture, and Ferguson was full of praise for the ex-Norwich talent. “In the last three months, he’s been on fire. He’s been our best player.
