After Manchester United’s sensational defeat in the English League Cup, the team’s head coach Ruben Amorim shared his thoughts on the match. According to him, the main focus should not be on the scoreline, but on how the team performed on the pitch.
— For me, it is not about whether the team equalized or not, but about the signals they gave. Especially, the desire shown at the beginning of the game is of great importance. I believe the team that was stronger on the pitch won. Even the top players can lose, because any team, with the right approach, can surpass any opponent, — Amorim told BBC.
According to the coach, yesterday both the team and individual players made their statements on the pitch. — Yes, we lost. The stronger team won. But the players made very firm statements. Everyone understands what this is about, so we must keep moving forward, — he added.
Amorim also admitted that United failed to start the game with the required intensity. — We lost the initial power, we lost the pressing idea and looked like we were lost. That’s why I repeat: today the players expressed themselves on the pitch, — the coach concluded.
Experts believe this defeat was a heavy blow for United, but also a big lesson for the team. Fans, meanwhile, are eagerly waiting to see what changes Amorim’s side will show in the upcoming matches.
