Amorim: We just want to win

UNLUCKY NOT TO WIN

"If you look at the chances and then look at the game, Arsenal had more possession, but we try to play the game in a low block. So it's hard to say that we deserve it as Arsenal also tried to win the game. But, if you look at the chances, I think we were quite close to winning the game. David Raya did really well to defend his goal and, sometimes, if the ball is 10 centimetres a little bit to the side, it can change a game. We were waiting for a mistake from the opponents, but we tried to win the game. We tried to find a way to beat a very good team and showed that today."

THE LOW BLOCK

"Of course, when you coach Manchester United, you cannot play this too much. The idea is to win the game. You imagine one way to win the game in this context. I know it's frustrating for the fans. Sometimes, we have to do things that are not popular. It's also the opponent. We try to choose the best moments to press high and had some moments of winning the ball. In the future, we're not going to play like that, but we just want to win games. I think our fans understood the moment."

THE GAMEPLAN

"We knew Arsenal are really good on the ball and we were tired from the last game. So we were knowing Victor Lindelof had not had many games and he did really well. So compact. Vic is really smart on the short spaces. Casemiro did really well and he didn't have to run a lot to press high. We try to make our players comfortable. To push in the second half was the idea and it was perfect with the Bruno goal because it helped us a lot."
