Amorin: Amad s explosive power is not as good as before. Casemiro has made a lot of progress

May 2nd News 21:00 on May 4th, in the 35th round of the 2024-25 Premier League, Manchester United will play away against Brentford. Before the game, Manchester United coach Amorin talked about some of the team's situation at a press conference recorded after the Europa League.

The results of the UEFA Cup and the Premier League are completely different. Can the players distinguish the momentum of these two events? Because Sunday is likely to have players rest again, which may affect the outcome of the game, but Thursday will have to start again

- it's hard to tell the difference at the moment, we know we always have responsibilities. But we have to take risks at this moment, and there are positions where we don’t have enough players, like Mazravi, who can’t play. The possibility of his injury has reached its limit, so we will handle this and prepare to face a team that is in great shape and wins today.

We always have the responsibility to perform well and we always have the responsibility to achieve good results. But at this moment, we must be clear. Our focus is on protecting players and striving to stay competitive. It may not be good to say this, but we need to understand the situation at that time.

Regarding Amad, he came on as a substitute in the last 10 minutes tonight. How much do you think he can play in the rest of the season? How does managing him feel during his injury? Because it was obvious that he wanted to play, and he was in good shape before the injury - yes, it was really hard for us because at that time he created a lot of opportunities and gave B money some passes. So it's really hard for us to lose such a player in that situation, and even more so for Amad, because he was in a good shape when he was injured.

But now he is back. You can feel that his current explosiveness is not as good as before, but he is a player with an iconic left foot and unlike Garnacho, he is good at one-on-one. And not many players on our team can do this, so it means a lot to us and he is another option for us.

Before tomorrow's training, do you come here with a huge lineup and plan to carry out large-scale rotation?

- First of all, players at risk of injury will not play anyway, which is something we need to take risks. We will then evaluate which players are best for starting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. We have to be cautious because we are Manchester United and we can't play without believing we can win. So the whole process is like this, it will be tough, but this year we have overcome a lot of difficulties. This is another difficulty we will take a look.

In March you said you are learning more about how to use Casemiro, you rely on him very much for the UEFA Cup, so what have you learned so far? Do you hope to work with him for a long time?

—He has also made a lot of progress. You can tell that I am not referring to his way of playing football, but his way of running. This is obvious. We have data showing that he works very, very hard, and he is a good example. He didn't have many chances to play before, and sometimes Collier's order of playing was ahead of him. Now, it's hard to replace Casemiro. So it's a lesson for all Manchester United players: No matter what happened in the past or last month, everything could change instantly.

And we also understand that he can't always press on the high position. We need to let them understand this. Sometimes it is best to arrange three defenders to serve as the fourth defender and let the wingback press on the high position. We understand these small details and we will try our best to adapt to the various characteristics of the team, but I would like to congratulate Casemiro.

You just talked about the difficulties players face when switching between the Premier League and the Europa League. But as a coach, what are the biggest difficulties you face? What is the biggest challenge?

- The most difficult thing is about the players, and some players understand that if you play on Sunday, you can play on Thursday too. This is the first point. Then we have to prove again the importance of every game at Manchester United, and we make more money in every place in the Premier League, so that's important.

Also, you have to fight for your honor, of course, we don’t have much to fight for, we still have the second leg of the Europa League, which is really important to us. We know that, but we need to be competitive in every game.
