Lei Su Sports, November 29 In the Europa League match in the early hours of this morning, Beijing time, Manchester United defeated Bodo Glimt 3-2. Despite the victory, manager Amorim was unhappy with United's performance.
According to SPORTbible, in the first half of the game, Manchester United players frequently ignored Antony on the right, much to the displeasure of Coach Amorim. The United boss walked to the sidelines on several occasions to instruct his players to pass the ball to the Brazilian winger more quickly.
Amorim is looking to bolster his threat on the offensive end by using Anthony's pace and dribbling skills. However, the rest of United's squad did not seem to have fully adapted to the new tactical set-up, which resulted in Antony being virtually 'isolated' for much of the first half.
Entering the second half, Amorim made changes to his line-up and changed his tactical strategy to help United regain control of the tempo and eventually win. Even so, how to solve the problem of Anthony being "isolated" during the attack is still one of the key points that Amorim needs to consider.
In his post-match press conference, while Amorim did not mention this directly, he stressed the importance of the whole team understanding his football philosophy. The 39-year-old boss wants to build a more open, varied and efficient attacking system for Manchester United. In order to achieve this, he realised that he needed more time to communicate his philosophy to his players and assist them in adapting to the demands of the new tactics.
The match against Bodo Glim marked the beginning of a new chapter in Amorim's coaching career. It is too early to assess what specific changes he will bring to the Red Devils, but there are early indications that fans have reason to hope for a brighter future for United under the young and dynamic manager.
