At a press conference after the qualification for the Europa League semi-finals snatched by Manchester United against Olympique Lyonnais after a crazy match at Old Trafford, Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim expressed his relief.
He revels, necessarily. Ruben Amorim, in the midst of Annus Horriber, almost saw his Manchester United go to the hatch in the Europa League while Olympique Lyonnais was in inferiority. Despite the two goals behind ten minutes from the end of the extension, in Old Trafford, the Red Devils won 5-4 thanks to Bruno Fernandes (114th), Kobbie Mainoo (120th) and Harry Maguire (120th+1). And therefore qualified for the semi-finals. Which, inevitably, delights their Portuguese coach.
“This is why we love this sport so much. All the frustration that the coach experiences in this kind of season, frustration, bad times … When you have moments like that, it's worth it,” said Ruben Amorim at a press conference. “In this stadium, in this club, we always have the feeling that anything can happen. Today, it was still the case,” he also noted.
“Forget the season for a few minutes”
“This type of moments can help players in this kind of season, in this kind of context. This can create a link between supporters and players,” added the one who replaced Erik Ten Hag in November, without so far to straighten the bar. “We can forget for a few minutes the type of season that we live. But again, today it is a good feeling, but tomorrow we will have to start all over,” he concluded.
The Mancunians will face the Athletic Bilbao in the last square in the Europa League, Thursday May 1 and Thursday May 8. On the other side of the painting, Tottenham, a fall of the Eintracht Frankfurt, will rub the Norwegian surprise Bodo/Glimt, who brought Lazio to the shots on goal.
