Tackled by several former Manchester United players or other ex-players who have become consultants, Ruben Amorim is in an uncomfortable situation among the Red Devils which he joined now eleven months ago. Despite everything, the Portuguese technician remains confident. At a press conference this Friday before the match against Sunderland, the former Sporting CP coach spoke of the criticisms of which he is the subject, especially from the houses of the house. “It's normal, you can't veil your face. And then there is the weight of last season. Last season does not matter to me, given the system, we have already talked about it. We played six games this season and we lost three. Did we lose against Arsenal because of the system? It's up to you to forge an opinion. When you saw the match against City, the first thing that struck you at the start was the system? I don't think you thought of the system at that time. And Brentford. The way we collect goals, which we create opportunities, it has nothing to do with the system, it's my opinion. I am not saying that this team will be better in another system, it is not my point. What I mean is that if I watch the matches that we have not won, the most important thing is that we have not lost because of the system. This is my opinion, after all, opinions divergent, and that's normal. “
Then, he was questioned about understanding the system by his own players.“You can't say that a thing doesn't work when it works for a weekend. When it works one day and not the next day. This is a matter of doing the same thing. We have to do the same thing, in the same way, systematically, and we don't do it in the same way every day. Some of you have a different opinion, but it does not matter (…) It's not time to say, it's time to show. I can observe the matches of this season: for me, they are completely different. There are identical things, others different. There are other things that we cannot change. In other games, we are not the same team on certain details. I have nothing to say at the moment. My job is to prepare the team. ” A team that is eagerly awaited on Saturday against the Black Cats in the Premier League, just like Ruben Amorim.
