At the break of dawn, the highlight of the 16th round of the English Premier League came to an end, with Manchester United infusing their team with a valuable three winning points with a miraculous 2-1 comeback victory over Manchester City. After the match, Manchester United manager Amorim gave an in-depth analysis of the thrilling match on the Match of the Day program.
Amorim exclaimed, "This match was beyond imagination and we deserved it. Despite the challenging journey, we always believed in victory. We struck a blow at the end of the duel and it was a moment that meant a lot to us and our fans."
He continued: "We held on for the full 90 minutes, which not only showed our resilience and team spirit. When I think back to the match against Arsenal, we played well in the first half, but we couldn't have the last laugh. But today, we are full of confidence and finally turned the tide."
Amorim recalled a special moment, "We also had a 'Ferguson moment' where everything seemed to go just right and a lot of magic happened. It was a great day for me and for the team."
Amorim understood the fans' wild celebrations: "The fans wanted this kind of victory and so did we. The way they celebrated was unique and it was the result they had been waiting for. But we can't be complacent, we need to keep working hard and the club needs more wins like this."
Meanwhile, Amorim also admitted that there is still room for the team to improve: "Even when City were ahead, our performance was still solid. There are many things we need to improve on, but the players deserved this win today. They held on until the last minute, which is crucial for us."
Finally, Amorim spoke highly of young player Amad Diallo: "Amad is versatile, humble and has great potential. We have to be careful with Amad because he is sometimes put in special positions. We need to stay calm and give him enough room and opportunity to grow."
