The "Red Devils" Manchester United will go to Anfield to challenge the "Red Army" Liverpool in the new round of the Premier League. Facing this highly anticipated focus battle, Manchester United coach Amorim said that the outcome of the game will be full of many variables, but the team has a greater responsibility to fight for victory.
In the last round of the league, Manchester United lost to Newcastle 0-2 at Old Trafford after conceding goals in both the first and second half. After only 1 win and 4 losses in the last 5 rounds, Manchester United is currently ranked 14th in the standings with 22 points.
As for Liverpool, Slote's team is currently ranked first in the standings with 45 points. Therefore, Manchester United can only have more chances to win 3 points away from home if they break through the shadow of defeat and fight hard.
Manchester United coach Amorim said at a press conference, "We have more time to train, and the team has trained for two consecutive days. I think this will help us, especially in the current situation. This is a difficult period because we have lost a lot of games. We will face the strongest team this season, but as I said, we are training actively, feeling more of the team atmosphere and preparing more fully, and hope to perform better than the last game."
"From the first half of the last game, we could see that we were lacking in possession of the ball and everyone was nervous. We are working on different aspects to improve, but I think possession of the ball and controlling the tempo of the game and how to organize the offense is the main focus this week."
In addition, Amorim also said, "Anything can happen in football matches, but if you look at the season as a whole, it is almost always the team with better performance that wins. The opponent's performance is currently better than ours, but we can win any game. What we need to focus on is the performance of the game, not the outside voices."
"We need to simplify things and get better at the simple things so we can be better prepared for games like this and we have a responsibility to fight for the win."
In addition, Amorim also said that striker Rashford will miss the game due to physical discomfort recently. Amorim said, "He is sick, so he can't participate in training. We will continue to observe what will happen next. Just like other players, I will choose the lineup according to the situation."
