Ruben Amorim addressed the matter of handling pressure at Man United.
After a five game unbeaten run in the Premier League, a 1-0 defeat to 10 man **Everton**was a bump back to earth. The team recovered with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace on the weekend, and they look to keep the mood turning in a positive direction against West Ham United on Thursday evening.
“They are talking about Manchester. Not because I don’t agree. Most of the times I agree with a lot of things that you say, guys.
“But it’s a way of me being healthy because it’s enough when we lose, when we draw, when I know that we play bad, my feeling as a coach is enough. I don’t need another feelings around the club.”
“For me, the only way, there is no other way. The only way is to protect myself. Of course, I lose money in sponsors. In Instagram, I could win a lot of money. But for me, the quality of life, the protection of my family, the way I can live a normal life, because I guarantee you, I live a normal life, It’s not worth it.”
“Some more dollars or pounds is not worth it. So I protect myself. No one can be tougher than me when we lose and when we don’t play well. That is the only way, but nowadays, it’s really normal to have that abuse. For me, it’s the only way to survive in this world.”
“I had no doubts that Nuno Espirito Santo would have success.
“No matter what the club, he’s really experienced. He knows how to work with different squads. He understands really well the league, and that is a plus when you are a manager.”
“We know that he’s going to be tough. He’s really smart preparing the games, understanding the environment of the game, who has more responsibility.
*“All these things around the game is really good on that. I expect I’m just more focused, preparation is about the opponents, but we can really focus on what we need to do, what we need to improve, especially if you look at our first half against Crystal Palace. So it’s going to be a tough match.”*
