In the passionate 17th round of the English Premier League, Manchester United lost 0-3 to Bournemouth despite playing at home at Old Trafford. After the match, Manchester United manager Amorim faced the camera and analyzed the team's unexpected defeat and drew a blueprint for the team's future.
Amorim said that Manchester United is going through a low period, the pursuit of continuous victory road is full of bumps, but the team has always insisted on the difficult. He particularly emphasized the loopholes in the game's set-piece defense, which is the "lifeblood" of the team's recent loss of points. He pointed out that the team was too loose in defending set-pieces, leaving a gap for the opponents to take advantage of.
In addition to the problems with set-pieces, Amorim also pointed out the players' nervousness on the field. He revealed that he clearly felt the tension of the players on the field, which undoubtedly had a negative impact on the team's play. Especially after the penalty was awarded, the team should have adjusted the pace of the game, but obviously United did not do that.
Amorim further analyzed the turning point of the game. He recalled that before the first goal, United did not give their opponents too many chances, and the team had seized some good scoring opportunities. However, due to the failure to capitalize on these chances, coupled with the distraction of nervousness, United failed to score first. Amorim believes that if United had scored the first goal, the situation of the game might have changed.
Looking ahead, Amorim emphasized the need for United to get back to business rather than focusing too much on mood swings on the field. He inspired the players to face the challenges and bear the pressure, and firmly believed that the team has the ability to get out of the difficult situation. Amorim said that United will continue to fight until the last moment and fight for victory.
The defeat was a wake-up call for United, but Amorim and his team did not give up. They know that the only way to regain the glory of victory is to keep working and improving.
