Two second half goals were enough to take Roberto’s side into the quarter finals of the competition but he took time out after the game to praise the Swans.<\/p>\n
“I think in any cup competition the important thing is to get through to the next round,” Martinez told\u00a0Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
“But tonight I thought that we saw two really open-minded teams with a very clear idea on how to play the game and I think it was a very exciting game from start to finish.<\/p>\n
“I think it had a little bit of everything, it was a really good cup game. I think that you can see that Swansea are going to have really good season in the Championship, and it’s always good to get through to the next round.”<\/p>\n
Roberto also praised \u00a36m striker Mauro Boselli who scored his first goal for the club in the second half and he added “You can see Mauro is a really confident finisher. A goal scorer in football is expensive and the hardest thing to find.<\/p>\n
“He is a real asset to our football club but we need to be patient and fair with him. He is coming from a different league, different environment, different culture.<\/p>\n
“If you look at the way he has adapted, the work-rate, the way he took the goal, it is very pleasing.<\/p>\n
“I am sure Wigan Athletic fans will see the best of him very soon.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
