Hupu reported on October 31 that in this round of the Premier League, Manchester United will face Nottingham Forest. Before the game, Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim was interviewed by the club’s official TV station.
Ruben, after the team won three consecutive Premier League victories, the current atmosphere in the team seems to be very good, right?
It is indeed different. When you win, you will be in better training condition, enjoy your time here more, and be more willing to spend time with your teammates. So it feels completely different now and we're very aware of that. But we have to focus on the next game because the most important thing for us is always the next game. This training and game state is very good and we hope to maintain it, and the only way to do this is to continue to win.
Our next game will be an away game at the City Stadium, which will be a tough match - we lost 1-0 there last season, and Anthony Ilanga's counterattack goal made us miserable. What do you think of the game now? What do you think of Nottingham Forest's current strength?
In our league, we can’t dwell too much on the past, because every game is new. They'll have the home fans and we'll have great away fans. I think they have a lot of talented players and a very smart head coach.
The pressure is on us and everyone has high expectations for us, which is actually a good thing. When a team is both talented and organized, they have the ability to win any game. So they are definitely ready for this game and we are also ready for a tough situation, but we are confident that we can win the next one.
Under the leadership of Sean Dyche, how will they be different from before?
I think they will be as difficult to beat as when Nuno (Santo) was coaching and continue that fighting spirit. Again, Sean is very savvy and has a lot of experience. I think they're going to try to play in transition, and we lost on a counterattack last season.
We have to focus on every detail of the game and understand that this game will not have as much space to attack as against Liverpool, Brighton or even Sunderland. It will be a completely different game and we have to be mentally prepared - it will be difficult to get into the front of the opponent's penalty area, but we are ready.
It’s great to see Lisandro Martinez back on the training ground training with everyone. How is he doing now? How is the health of the squad overall, now that we're heading to Nottingham?
We have one more training, and we will look at the specific situation then. It is difficult to say whether Harry Maguire can return from injury. Everyone else is healthy. Licha is not ready yet. He really wants to play. If you look at his training, you will feel that he is ready, but he still needs more time. We must be responsible for him and cannot be too hasty.
The other players have been training very hard this week, which makes me very happy. Throughout the week, I didn't feel the atmosphere of "relax after winning a few games". On the contrary, everyone was more confident and more motivated, and the training pace and intensity were also higher, which felt very good.
Actually, you were also asked at the press conference. This weekend marks the first anniversary of your taking office. What have you learned about yourself during this year?
The most important thing I learned is that most of the time in my career as a head coach, I was winning. When you keep winning, you say you have firm beliefs and are loyal to your tactical philosophy, but it's only when you lose and face pressure that you really learn.
I find that when I am under pressure, I will stick to my ideas more and not waver easily. Of course, it's important to feel the support of everyone at the club, especially the fans, who give me the confidence to continue. But the biggest reward is that I can stick to my plans and ideas even under pressure.
