Amorim: 'I don't care what Slot says'

Before the match against Brighton in round 9 of the Premier League, which will take place at 11:30 p.m. on October 25, coach Ruben Amorim spoke out about Arne Slot's controversial comment after Liverpool's 1-2 defeat to Manchester United at Anfield.

Ruben Amorim are aiming for a third consecutive win.

Dutch coach Arne Slot once said that “it is difficult to play against a team that only knows how to defend low and play long balls”, referring to the opponent’s style of play. Amorim responded to that comment calmly.

He said Liverpool is now in the past and the important thing is to prepare for the upcoming match. The Portuguese coach affirmed that he does not care about what others say, because only he can properly evaluate his team.

Although admitting the team needs to play better in possession, Amorim stressed he was pleased with his players' ability to adapt flexibly to different opponents.

The win at Anfield gave Manchester United their first back-to-back Premier League wins since Amorim took charge. However, he did not see it as a major turning point, saying that talking too much about a “turning point” can sometimes be counterproductive. According to Amorim, the most important thing is to continue to maintain the fighting spirit and look forward to the next game rather than being absorbed in past victories.

In terms of squad news, Amorim said Harry Maguire and Mason Mount are being monitored for minor injuries, while Lisandro Martínez remains sidelined. In addition, 15-year-old JJ Gabriel has been called up to train with the first team to get used to the top-level environment. Amorim said that such training sessions help young players understand the intensity and harsh demands of professional football.

Amidst the controversy, Amorim remained focused. He directed all his energy towards a single goal: maintaining the winning streak and continuing to improve Manchester United.
