Recently, Manchester United coach Amorin accepted an interview with media reporters, and The Athletic author Laurie Whitwell conducted a detailed analysis of Amorin's remarks.

Amorin was amused in the press room of Chicago's flame training base. Someone conveyed a passage from Ratcliff to him: Raj said he liked Amorin because the two of them were drinking and talking honestly at the Carrington base, and if Amorin felt that he had interfered in something other than professionalism, he would directly let him "get out".

Amorin talked about their way of getting along. "We talked on the phone, he sent me a message and also sent a picture. Do you call that emoticons?"

Imagine the 72-year-old Lager sent Amorin a loop picture of Leonardo DiCaprio raising a glass to celebrate in "The Great Gatsby" after Manchester United narrowly defeated Lyon 5-4; or after a defeat last season, Hodgson was excited to stand up and sit down in the offense against Iceland, but missed the opportunity. It's quite interesting.

"So this is the relationship," Amorin continued, "It's very easy to deal with Ratcliff. Where is the ease? As long as you know what you can and can explain the truth clearly, it's okay to get along with him."

"But if you want to fool him with some beautiful words, he can expose you immediately. So it's very simple for me. I will say what should be said with great respect, just like everyone else. I know he is the club owner and understand his position. But when it's time for me, I will say whatever I want, without going around the corner - I can guarantee this - it's just saying whatever I want."

"I don't beat around the bush, I'm very straightforward. I think he really appreciates this."

In Amorin's 25-minute interview with reporters, his speech and behavior were very popular among Manchester United fans. This interview was held at the high-end training base where the team stayed in the past two weeks.

In fact, he is more willing to talk less. The former Portuguese sports coach gave more interviews last season than his previous coaching career combined, with the Premier League and Europa League broadcast contract requiring him to make regular appearances. Sometimes he is obviously exhausted. On January 27, he joked when he celebrated his 40th birthday, saying that he looked like he was 50 years old.

He is much more energetic now. The Illinois sun shines him, thanks to his frequent running around the city and his insistence on fitness at 7 a.m. He is very happy to take the time to talk to reporters who are reporting on the American industry. This time, he is a heart-loving interview.

"Now I feel more motivated," he said, "I learned a lot. They are all details. For example, how to prepare for the game, and why not be too ideal. These are all over the article. I really think I can lead better in the new season."

had the intention to leave, but now I want to work for Manchester United for 20 years.

TA once reported that when Manchester United fell into chaos due to losing streaks and injuries in February this year, Carrington insiders realized that Amorin had seriously considered resigning. After losing the Europa League final, he also said: If the board of directors thinks he is not suitable, he is willing to leave directly "without charging a penny".

Every time, Ratcliffe, CEO Bellada and football director Wilcox gave him a reassurance.

Amorin explained how the record and atmosphere made him shake.

"If you want to leave, it is more of a matter of face," he said. "I am just like this. You see, Portugal Sports: I led the team to win the championship, and won the runner-up in the second year. In the third year, Nunes and Palinia left the team, and we fell to fourth in the league, so I took the initiative to resign."

"My agent always said that you don't have to sign a long-term contract. Because when things are screwed up, I will take responsibility. I may be too idealistic."

Amorin emphasized that the support of the club made him feel at ease. "I can always feel it," he said. "Sometimes last season, I was more worried about my position than them. But they always supported me."

"Think about it, which giants can still remain as head coach after losing so many games? There is no way to find it. So action is more convincing than words."

Since Ferguson retired in 2013, the Manchester United coach has only been able to work for two years on average.

" Amorin responded: "I want to work for 20 years, that's my goal, and I really believe that I can do it. There will always be a turning point, and luck will stand on my side at some moments. I have always been lucky in coaching career, and I plan to stay here for a long time. Of course the results are final. I also know the credibility I saved when I first came... I wasted all last year. But I'm ready to start over. ”

Amorin admitted that his reputation fell sharply in the first six months at Manchester United. He knew that he had to start a good start in the first full season. He currently coached 42 games, with a record of 16 wins, 10 draws and 16 losses.

The way he lost to Tottenham in the Europa League final disappointed many people inside and outside the club, but his successful experience of winning two league titles in Portugal Sports in four years supports his beliefs.

"You see, Portugal Sports was the same. It is said that I have to be dismissed in three months. The probability of me telling them that I will lead them to win the championship is only three%. ”

"Manchester United's pressure is different. But I don't like to change jobs. I like to build bonds with people. I'm waiting for the club on the right road. It sounds a bit crazy, but I chose Manchester United. I have a premonition. Whenever possible, I will take root here. ”

Speaking of pressure, Amorin said that it was really painful when he retired. He played 322 games in his club career (mainly playing for Benfica) and represented the Portuguese national team 14 times. At the age of 32, he had no choice but to rest for a year due to a cruciate ligament torn on his right knee.

"Now is not the time for the most stress in my life," he said, "the player career ends too quickly. I remember that I was counting deposits and expenses with my wife in Excel forms at that time. It’s a great responsibility to support the family. That's a lot of pressure. ”

" There is no such pressure at all now. It's more of a matter of face. I want to make a name for Manchester United coach. Don't want to mess it up. Just this little pressure. ”

"We just used this opportunity to polish the core lineup. If they were still Manchester United players after closing the window, the club would definitely treat them equally. "

Amorin responded for the first time that Garnacho found his next home.

"This child's talent is visible to the naked eye," he said, "but sometimes it's just wrong. The specific reason is unclear, but obviously Garnacho wants a different approach to leadership. I understand. This is nothing. Sometimes you play with a player, and sometimes people want to change places. ”

Amorin firmly believes that Manchester United's finances will improve, after all, the club's signature and global influence are there.

He asserted: "I have no doubt that some things cannot be bought with money - and Manchester United has them all, with a wealthy family background, glorious history, and fan base. ”

"We have money without the Champions League. Bellada and the others are making arrangements, and future funds will not be a problem. "

"When we reshape our culture, plus this foundation and financial resources, returning to the top will be a natural result. "

"Stealing the other coaches are not stubborn at all

Last season, Amorin's tactical system was repeatedly criticized. People asked him to adapt, especially when chasing points, which made Maguire a guest appearance as a striker. But he emphasized that he is also evolving.

"I have changed a lot in my coaching career in just a few years," he said, "I immediately learn when I see something useful. I've 'stealed' many coaches' tricks - tactics and warm-up methods. Really not stubborn. "

" If you want to become a strong team, you have to lay a solid foundation. The foundation is stable, let’s play tricks again. This requires a process. "

" When interviewing Manchester United, I said: I am not the kind of coach who insists on other people's tactics to ensure his job. From the first day I have recognized this path: to build a solid foundation. Will you suffer? certainly. "

Injecting vitality into the midfield is Amorin's focus. The signing negotiations are in progress, but he believes that the training of existing personnel is also effective.

"Of course some players can't improve their speed. But you can see the rhythms of the same group of people. This is my feeling. ”

Why? "I think the training is in place. Even the decision to make movements can accelerate - if you are confused about "jumping or not", the speed will be gone. We practiced to form conditioned reflexes: ‘jump when it’s time’. So ‘start earlier’. Sometimes it's only one and a half seconds away. This is the effect of combining tactics and body. ”

When defeating West Ham in a friendly match, Menu intercepted Areola to kick off and helped B score the goal, which is an excellent case.

"Menu's feet deal with the ball, as long as he finds the rhythm, he can come up with new tricks every time he catches the ball. Every time the opponent chases back, he can hold on. He will run faster and faster. "

The problem is that the Premier League giants are also strengthening. Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea all sign ups. But Amorin doesn't care about these.

"If it were the same, I might be more concerned about the opponent," he admitted, "but my own problems are enough for me. Just thinking about how to solve them is so excited, and I can't care about others. "

" I am very satisfied with the new aid. They are all tested in the Premier League, and they are not worried about their health and their personality is more appropriate. ”

" I dare say that Jason (Wilcox) and Omar (Berrada) also think so: any coach we want to buy. What to say is "not in line with my tactics"... I promise, whoever is the Manchester United coach will have to say "Mbemo, thank you! Thank you, Cunya! ’. ”

If Amorin can turn his bold statement into a performance on the court, the one who should say thank you will be Manchester United fans.
