Аморим: Ги потрошив сите кредити, но сакам да останам во Јунајтед уште 20 години

Рубен Аморим имаше катастрофален старт на авантурата како предводник на Манчестер јунајтед, откако наместо да го спаси тимот по променливите игри под водство на Ерик тен Хаг тој влезе во серија слаби резултати со кои урна бројни неславни рекорди на гигантот од „Олд Трафорд“.

Управата на клубот му покажа доверба и го задржа екс-тренерот на Спортинг, давајќи му и значителен буџет за новата сезона. Тоа само по себе значи и дополнителен притисок, на Аморим му е јасно дека веќе нема простор за изговори и грешки, но португалскиот стручњак е решен да успее како предводник на овој англиски гигант.

„Сакам да останам во Манчестер Јунајтед, говорам од срце кога велам дека се гледам во клубот уште 20 години. Тоа е мојата зацртана цел во која искрено верувам…. низ кариерата имав многу среќа, верувам дека тоа повторно ќе биде случај и дека ќе ми се исполни оваа желба. Секако, се ќе зависи од резултатите, на сите им е јасно дека во првата сезона тие беа под секое ниво, дека ги имам искористено сите кредити. Така беше и во Спортинг, ми рекоа дека за три месеци ќе бидам отпуштен, но сите знаете што се случи, станав шампион и останав се додека не пристигна понудата од Манчестер. Свесен сум дека очекувањата овде се највисоки, дека разочаравме многу луѓе со игрите и резултатите минатата сезона, но сите сме мотивирани да не дозволиме тоа да ни се повтори“, изјави Аморим.

my goal and I believe, I always believe. Something will happen. At some point I’ll be lucky again. I’ve been very lucky in my coaching career so far. My idea is to stay here for many years, but we all know that the results will determine that. We know that last season I already used up all the credit of trust available, so now I’m ready to start fresh. It took me five years to choose this club, so I don’t want to fail. If you look at it, it was the same at Sporting. They told me that in three months I would be out. They also told me that I had a three percent chance of winning the title with Sporting. It’s not how I came home after the games last season, it’s how I left because I felt like we were going to suffer sometimes. All the difficulties we had in our games, I felt them before. That was the hardest part – going to the games and knowing that we weren’t going to be competitive. When I got home, I just looked at my family and tried to think about different things. But I was really disappointed. There were some moments last year that were really difficult for me. I felt like I just had to survive until the end. I felt like I was letting all these people down. In football, when you lose so many games, it’s hard for everyone to believe in an idea and the many things you want to change. Because I had to do everything from the beginning, with more time and changes that I couldn’t do at the time. I knew what I had to do to change the club, but three months before the end of the season the goal was to try and win the Europa League. We had a lot of difficulty trying to save players and play them for 60 minutes. You couldn’t do that at Manchester United. You couldn’t think like that. That’s why I was so disappointed because I couldn’t do anything. I had to wait, and waiting and being the manager of Manchester United is like going into battle empty-handed. When you lose, you have to change the culture, the standards. I feel like we are more organised now, everyone knows their place. That’s my job and everyone knows it. It seems like a small thing, but it’s a big thing. There are some things that I don’t know, so I need to have capable people around me to help me change the culture. I have the power. That’s my job and the club wants that. But there’s something more important – I need the whole club to move in one direction. We’ve improved everything – the medical department, the nutrition, the way we behave on tour, on the pitch. The rules. Everything is important. I know they’re not children and I don’t treat the players like children. But I think these small rules can help a group to be strong. “I’m really happy with the players we’ve brought in. They’re proven in the Premier League, they’ve got the physical qualities and I’m really happy with their character. We need to be a little more emotional in this team. With that emotion we’ll make more sacrifices, we’ll have more pace, more energy. The competition will help. This is the perfect year because we’re not going to be in the European tournaments. We can set the standards, so we’re really ready for next season, with the culture that’s already in place,” said Amorim.
