In the next match of the 36th round of the English Premier League, “Manchester United” faced “West Ham” at home and suffered a defeat, dropping to 16th place in the tournament table. This result once again proved that the team is experiencing one of the toughest seasons in its history in recent years.
In the post-match press conference, the club's head coach Ruben Amorim expressed open and sharp opinions about the team's mental decline and lack of internal discipline.
“The problem is — no one is worried”
“The most concerning aspect is that everything seems fine in the team. It’s as if the results are insignificant, and losing in the game has become a normal occurrence. This is the biggest problem. We no longer feel like a big club,” said the coach.
“There’s no sense of urgency for victory”
“Everyone is thinking about the Europa League final, but that is not the main issue at the moment. We have serious matters that need to be resolved. The team doesn’t seem ready for Premier League matches. Sometimes it feels like winning isn’t necessary. Accordingly, the mental decline has peaked.”
“It’s not just about the players — it’s a cultural issue”
The coach did not want to place the blame solely on the players, but rather focused on the overall spirit and culture of the club:
“I don’t blame the players. I’m talking about myself. This is a matter of club culture. If this feeling persists, then we need to make way for others and open the door for change.”
“There will be significant changes in the summer”
“We must make big changes in the summer. It’s not just about the players in this squad, but about the internal spirit of the team and the club. The next season should not start like this. We need to become a strong, brave team that fights for victory.”
Is the final important?
“To be honest, the final doesn’t torment me. It’s not the most important issue in the club. We have much bigger problems to solve. The responsibility for this lies entirely on my shoulders.”
It should be noted that the “Manchester United” team will take the field against “Tottenham” in the Europa League final on the night of May 21-22. However, according to the team’s head coach, this match will not heal the deep issues within the team.
Zamin.uz editorial wishes the team patience, strength, and success on the path to improving the club's internal environment, enhancing mental preparation, and restoring the true “United” spirit.
