Amorim loses to Pereira
Amorim loses to Pereira in the fight for new Portuguese bosses.
Vitor Pereira, the victorious Wolves manager. Was keen to deny any parallels between his rapid impact at Wolves and the difficult transition. Fellow countryman Ruben Amorim is going through at Manchester United.
Following his team’s 2-0 victory at Molineux, Pereira declared, “It was Wolves against. Manchester United, not Vitor vs. Ruben.” “I think Ruben is a great coach, and he will eventually prove himself.”
It is difficult to overlook some fundamental mathematical facts, though.
Pereira has led his new team to two wins in the two games since taking Gary O’Neil’s place at Wolves. Those six points are one less than. Amorim has earned in his seven league games since taking over as head coach after. Erik ten Hag was fired and. Ruud van Nistelrooy had a brief temporary stint.
The poorest showing by a new United manager since. Walter Crickmer in 1932 is Amorim’s five losses in his first ten games across all competitions. Out of ten, he lost six.
That is a rather impressive figure.
There are many who contend that it is also entirely pointless. On two occasions, Crickmer left his day job as club secretary to “take command of team affairs”. According to United’s own website, he was a part of a time when managers existed.
Amorim is also not a manager. His title as coach was a departure from the previous one. As it was a component of the new system for joint responsibility that co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe had instituted.
However, it is Amorim’s responsibility to find solutions, beginning with his team’s persistent incapacity to defend set pieces.
With Wolves aiming for Onana, Cunha “meant to go for goal.”
Pereira responded almost sheepishly when asked if Wolves had tried to score. Straight from a corner in an attempt to target United goalkeeper Andre Onana. “Of course, we analyse every match and try to understand the openings we can explore,” he said.
In an interview with Amazon Prime, goal scorer Matheus Cunha had previously revealed the outcome of the match.
His words were, “I meant to go for the goal,” “We practiced that over the course of the week.”
Given that Son Heung-min did the exact same thing for. Tottenham in the EFL Cup, United must have been creating some sort of unwelcome record in. English top-flight football by giving away two straight goals from corners in a week.
Should that be the entirety of United’s set-piece problems, it would be embarrassing enough.
That would be forgetting the two goals they gave up in that manner against Arsenal. Nottingham Forest’s early goal at Old Trafford earlier this month. And Bournemouth’s opening goal on December 22nd, which was scored by Dean Huijsen.
“The tiniest touch makes it incredibly difficult to collect the ball when you are jumping,” Amorin said. “Against Tottenham, it was on the arm, but today it was on the back.” “That is it.”
“Top player” Cunha demonstrates Wolves’ value once more.
In the ninth minute of stoppage time, Amorim gave up Wolves’ second goal since it came as. United was attempting to win the match.
The fact that captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off for the third time this season after clipping Wolves captain Nelson Semedo at the beginning of the second half after receiving a first-half booking, earning him a second yellow, a red card, and a suspension for Monday’s trip to Newcastle at Old Trafford did not make that task any easier.
