Amorim: If we can’t win, we have to find a way not to lose and get one point

Hupu News on November 9, Premier League, Tottenham 2-2 Manchester United. After the game, Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim was interviewed by the club’s official TV station.

Ruben, your performance in this game gave you mixed feelings, right? How are you feeling now?

I felt that the team was always in control of the game, especially in the first half. Our state declined in the second half because we played too calmly before and always felt that the game was under our control, so we thought we could just hold on until the end.

But we should do exactly the opposite - feel the atmosphere of the stadium, feel the tension of the opponent, and take the initiative to seal the victory instead of waiting for the game to end. This is a point that needs improvement.

In addition, in the last 10 minutes of the game, we lost Harry (Maguire), Casemiro and Ben (Sheshko), and lost two goals in a row, but the team still understood that if they want to score, they must push the ball to the front of the opponent's penalty area and fight for corner kick opportunities.

We did it, and we believe that the team has the ability to score goals, which is a positive side. But my feeling is that three points were within reach and we could have done better.

You just mentioned a few players. Although the game just ended, do you know their current status?

I don’t know yet, I have to find out. My biggest concern is Ben, not that the other players aren't important, but his specific situation needs to be figured out.

Like you said, this game could have been won, but the joy on the players' faces said it all - you kept telling them to never give up, to show the DNA of Manchester United, and we certainly saw that in the final moments.

This is very important. And our fans, their support for the team at the end of the game means a lot to us. I feel like we're building something, it's just the beginning and there's a lot to do.

But like I said last week, if we can't win, we have to find a way not to lose and get 1 point - we did it again today, which is really great.
