Amorin previously said, "When I want to change my philosophy, I will naturally change. If I don't change, you have to change people. I believe in my way and I will stick to my playing style until I want to change myself." The Manchester United coach insists on his own system.
But celebrity Schmeichel believes Amorin made a mistake in the post-match press conference because he "put himself above the club."
Schmeichel said: You must always remember what the head coach's responsibility is, your job is to win the game. At Manchester United, that also means winning the trophy, and now he is not doing that. His winning rate is about 36%, which is the worst result among Manchester United coaches since World War II. It is obviously not feasible to stick to your own opinions.
B Fei said after Sunday's game that playing football is very difficult when there is always one less midfielder because you can't cover all areas. This system looks good when it works, but it hasn't worked. I don't think the system itself should be the most important thing. For me, the art of coaching is to maximize the potential of existing players. It's clear now that not all players are playing at their best.
Manchester United currently seems a little confused, especially in the back line. This requires the head coach to re-examine and make adjustments. During my time at Manchester United, the team was in the reconstruction phase, but always maintained a high standard. One of the most important principles is that “no one is more important than a club”, which applies to everyone from coaches to players to staff. If someone tries to be independent but fails to succeed, then this behavior is unsustainable.
Sir Ferguson has developed a very simple and easy-to-understand framework for the team. First, not concede the ball, and then recruit players who can both withstand pressure to defend and take risks in the offense. Players like Gary Palist, Steve Bruce, Paul Parker and Dennis Irving all performed this tactic well. This system is effective because it is both simple and in line with the players' mentality and abilities.
However, Manchester United is not fully playing to the level the players should have. They can do better. So the head coach has to change his way. I don’t agree with the head coach’s statement a few days ago, “If you want to change, you have to change the coach”. Although I like the coach and his leadership, dealing with a lot of tough issues when taking over the team, as a member of Manchester United, I can’t accept this kind of vocal that puts an individual above the club.
You just need to look at the game against Manchester City on Sunday to see how unhappy B Fee is. He usually looks a little depressed, but this time it's different, he's really unhappy.
The reason is obvious, because Manchester United is at a disadvantage in the midfield throughout the game. Regarding B fee, it is actually very simple. Why do we have him? Because he is a world-class player and is excellent in possession of the ball. He can create opportunities, pass goals, and score goals. But you can't let him start the attack from a deep position. I would rather see him play in a higher position. He was never a No. 6 player, he didn't have that physical fitness, and it would be unfair to ask him to do such a job because it would weaken his real advantage.
I know sometimes people complain that former players are too critical of the team, and I admit that I am one of them. But I used to play there and I knew how much effort it took to put in, and I needed to give it all in everything.
No one likes to be criticized, but this is not a personal attack. When we talk about these things, it is to make suggestions for improvement. This is out of love for the club, not to win headlines.
B Fei is the captain, he speaks on behalf of the players, so when there is such a discussion, of course it will be uncomfortable, but it is necessary. Manchester United now has new people at the helm, including Jason Wilcox, Omar Berrada, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Christopher Vivier. They are all newcomers and do not have a deep understanding of Manchester United.
This is why the voices of people like me, Roy Keane, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes are important. We used to play there, we know what is needed, and when we see things going in the wrong direction, it is important to stand up and speak, at least to make those in power think.
