“He Needs Players Who Can Match His Style” – Ferdinand on Amorim’s Man U
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand believes four players might struggle to fit into Ruben Amorim’s tactical approach.
Ferdinand pointed out that Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, and Rasmus Hojlund may not have the level of dynamism and athleticism needed for Amorim’s system at United.
Speaking after Man United’s 3-2 win over Ipswich Town in the Premier League, Ferdinand shared his thoughts on TNT Sports.
“I watched Sporting a few times, especially in Europe. They were an athletic, dynamic team,” he said. “That was one of the key qualities of that squad, and it played a big role in their success.
“But this United team isn’t built like that. They have other strengths, but when it comes to being physically dominant or outworking opponents, that’s not their strong suit.”
When asked if Zirkzee would fit into Amorim’s system, Ferdinand was doubtful. “No… De Ligt, Maguire, Hojlund – that’s not their game,” he added.
He emphasized that Amorim would need to find players who not only understand his tactical vision but also have the physical attributes to execute it effectively.
Portugal’s team coach, Roberto Martinez, spoke about the recent match and shared his thoughts. He also addressed the fact that he did not substitute Cristiano Ronaldo.
The coach praised the player, stating that he believes there was no reason to take the star off the field.
“It made no sense at all to take off Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the best goalscorer in history, off the field when we were looking for goals.”
Popular footballer Ronaldo is getting questioned and facing pressure ahead of his upcoming match this Wednesday.
This may be because Messi played last night and scored a hat-trick, and many people are creating an internal rivalry between the two players to see how well Ronaldo will perform for Portugal tonight.
It can be noted that Ronaldo’s last hat-trick was against Spain in 2018.
The coach of Iran’s club described his team’s journey as the most oppressive in this World Cup. It can be noted that the country was announced to play against Los Angeles after their draw with New Zealand.
The coach shared that they had already planned to rest for a day for recovery before returning, but instead were told to leave immediately.
“After the game, they said to us, ‘You have to leave immediately. We’ve been asked to get on a plane and return to our camp in Tijuana, and we are really troubled by that.’
“They are forcing us to go back early. They are making the situation more and more difficult, more hurdles, but we’re not going to let that stop us from doing our best.”
