What did Ruben Amorim say after yesterday's big win?

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, who won the first leg of the Europa League semi-final by a huge margin, gave his thoughts at a press conference after the match. According to him, the team should not lose its vigilance even after the victory.

“One episode changed the whole game”

“The result is certainly positive. But we need to understand it correctly. We faced some difficult situations at the beginning of the game. The fact that the opponent’s player was sent off completely changed the course of the match. That’s how it is in football – one episode can shake everyone,” said Amorim.

“All doors are still open”

According to the expert, a big victory over the opponent is not a perfect result, but an advantage in preparation for the next match.

“The number of goals could have increased, but we did not fully use the opportunities in attack. The task now is to play with the same focus and discipline in the match at Old Trafford,” the Portuguese specialist emphasized.

“In football, opportunities are for everyone”

At the end of his speech, Amorim reminded that we should not forget that the opposing team also has the opportunity to retaliate:

“Anything can happen in football. We have the advantage, but the opponent can also record a similar result at home. That is why we will not give in to any euphoria.”

Manchester United will now play the second leg at Old Trafford on May 9. While Amorim's team will be looking to maintain or secure their current lead to advance to the next round, their opponents will be looking for a miracle.

For the fans, football is once again showing its readiness for dramatic and unexpected twists.
