Why Everyone Is Talking About Ruben Amorim...

Ruben Amorim has been a revelation throughout his 4 year spell as manager of Sporting CP, not only boasting a 71% win rate but toppling Portuguese giants Benfica & Porto. Now the 39 year old is being chased by some of Europe’s most elite clubs but why is that?

Finally, someone got the name of Sporting right in an Amorim review (Sporting Clube de Portugal not Sporting Lisbon). Your tactical analysis of the coach is excellent but one thing that everyone overlooks is Ruben Amorim's communication skills. Here in Portugal he was a breath of fresh air in this regard. Everyone was tired of the usual crying of most managers. R. Amorim speaks in an expressive and polite way and does not engage in controversy. Even when journalists ask the stupidest of questions he manages to give a polite and informative answer. Wish the best for Liverpool and Liverpool fans 👍

[@StatmanDave]

Great work Dave

[@brgracio]

Exactly. I'd just add that, while being polite, Amorim is quite honest. One memorable example of this is when he was asked about training set pieces during warm up, he just admitted it was something he had seen Sérgio Conceição do with Porto. In that note, I wouldn't be surprised if for next season he also takes a couple pages out of Xabi Alonso's Leverkussen playbook.

[@Dretinho]

Sporting clube de Portugal if i call you Dave mother f.... is your name ?​@StatmanDave

[@victorian-dad]

NOT GOING TO LIVERPOOL!

[@stefanpetrusev2327]

his system would fit in chelsea sooo nicely its making me mad,the only position in question is the middle cb,but can easily be played by chalobah or badieshile next year,hope we somehow get him

[@DPNXN]

West Ham United should be he’s next move he will be backed and has less pressure than at the big clubs you mentioned. Could awake a sleeping giant in West Ham. - fantastic video Dave very in depth to give this out for free is very generous.

[@joaocustodio-vq8ot]

Great video, Sporting fan here. That is a very acurate description of Amorim´s revolution of football. It is by far the best football played by the club in 40 years, and in a country of cunning coaches and players, no one has yet found the antidote for it. Just for more context Amorim joined a broken club, the fans had attacked players recently and half left, there was no money, record low assitance, horrible football. In a broken club that demands wins at everything but has half the money of Benfica and Porto, and whos pressure on coaches is almost infamous and usualy eats them by the dozen, comes Amorim. Coach for 2 years at that point, can he do it? Yes he can, he recalls loaned players, promotes youth, gets some rejects from other clubs, changes to his infamous 3 -4 -3 and is champion in 1st year. It is now year 4, Sporting is back to win another league title, 2nd in 4 years. It has full stadiums everygame, win or lose we cheer. Made more money in sales in the last 4 years then the last 20 combined, loosing key players and never loosing strenght, Sporting´s win average has skyrocketed and we are honored with amazing football everyweek. And also until this year, Sporting team didnt have a proper striker, this year they gave him one......just look at the stats. This man and his team by their craft alone, resurrected a sleeping giant with half of the money that his direct competitors had. You keep asking that same question that we did, is he ready? Let me answer for you, are you ready for him?

[@leonmiller7349]

Thank you.

[@AlexandriaTheSecond]

I guess liverpool needs a new striker

[@BrianOgonjiOG]

Thanks for this. I hope he comes to Chelsea he will have all the resources he wants

All that call us lisbon have cognitive problems... the brain certainly have a malfunction

[@user-mq5ou3tq5j]

best in depth video on Amorim out there. Can you do a video on explaining why Ajax is such a big mess this season?

[@tomw8s]

Great that you're analysing our manager and kudos on the effort. But you got player's names wrong (no Nunes on the squad, the last one was Matheus Nunes - at Man City now; Adan didn't play against Benfica, it was Israel in goal - right foot instead of left; and some other details) and some of the team's dynamics (left center mid covering for the left winger. triangle offense on each side. overlaps by Pedro Gonçalves) nonetheless, keep up the good work

[@kierancassidy5153]

Can you do a video on how Liverpool could set up in a Amorim system. N suggestions on who they should by at LWB, LCB, DM n possibly a versatile forward that’s good in half spaces. As these are the positions i think we’d need to improve in under Amorim.

[@nelsonthekinger]

Dude, this is a crazy breakdown! Thanks!

[@Iesous27]

Sporting fan since I was a little boy.. Watched games with my dad at the club/bar on weekends. I remember the days of boloni when we won in 2002. I haven't been so excited to watch this team until Amorim came in. Our team is playing fantastic football. I understand the need for coaches to go to bigger clubs - more money, more challenges - but I really hope he stays in Sporting. He has accomplished something at this club that no one else has - a cohesion and player focused approach that the coaches before him (except boloni) have never done. Pay him and get the players in Varandas!

[@Tine_Nyasha]

LET'S GET THIS PARTYYY STARTED

[@phagglov2004]

thanks for a great video and tactical analysis! I would be very interested to get the name of the software you are using from 10:30. Seems like a legit good software i would like to try when having tactical walkthroughts with my team.

[@user-xt4xy8sx3h]

Jose won the champions league in the toughest era of football ever both times

[@carlosmanueldealmeida1774]

The best next team for Amorim, should be Sporting 💚. Congrats for mentioning correctly “Sporting Clube de Portugal”.

[@tunekas01]

Great analysis, and finally someone who can actually read and say Sporting Clube de Portugal and not Lisbon

[@poulius8118]

Can you put all your videos like this in a playlist?

[@Wald2012scp]

Very accurate information. I am Sporting fan and you are absolutely right.

[@kay9din]

That "ç" from Pedro Gonçalves, you have to read it as an "s" and not as a "c"...

[@Larsd69]

Amazing video, love the analysis! Can you do a video about how Liverpool would line up under Amorim? What transfers they could/should make, who’d play in that front three etc? Anyway, love the content!

[@Larsd69]

I feel like Konaté, Virgil and either Quansah, Gomez or a new signing could be the back three The wing backs would be Trent back out wide where I think he belongs, he’s great inverted but his crosses and long passes from that right back position were too vital in that 2019 Liverpool team, Robbo could play on the left but they should sign a new LWB instead of Kostas like Alphonso Davies (I would love to see Diaz in that position aswell with the overlaps and has the physical to track back as a wing back) Double pivot would be Macca with Endo ofcourse, long term replacement for Endo would be Bajcetic hopefully, would love to see Zubimendi aswell! Not sure if Curtis or Ryan would be good enough and fit in this formation. Up front I’d play Salah on the right, Szoboszlai on the left in a free roaming position with Diaz overlapping and Darwin up front, Gakpo could excel in that Gyokeres role aswell (great false 9 and can drift out wide, bit more technical than Darwin and better on the ball, depends on opponent) Let’s say Salah goes to Saudi for about €100-150m, I feel like Szoboszlai could be the perfect replacement in a 3421 as the right winger just like he does for Hungary and did for Leipzig, Gakpo could play on the left like he did for PSV. Liverpool could invest big in a center back, defensive midfielder and either a LWB (Alphonso Davies f.e.) or Maybe even Frimpong if Trent does invert.

[@TheIrishFalcon]

Incredible work.

[@victorian-dad]

Great video. Hope he comes to Chelsea!

[@lourencoteles8414]

I don't know were you got those build-up shapes from, but we've never build up shaped like that under Amorim.

[@jonathanbowling1900]

Hiya Dave looks like Liverpool are edging closer to appointing Arne Slot as they new manager. Could you possible do a anaylis on is tactics,possible signings and is career please?

[@JoeHartDesign]

Smells like Liverpool, Dave who do you think has the best ready made squad for him in the prem? Personally would love to see what he would do with the Brighton squad if di zerbi was to go

[@bazza2454]

dave please do an naglesmann manager profile and how he could potentially line up man u with the right recruitment

[@StatmanDave]

Will add it to the list 👊

[@cebu7743]

I'm pretty sure you are getting dull boring Southgate or Harry Potter 🤣

[@bazza2454]

@@cebu7743 Southgate’s clearly a no but potter would be know where near my first choice but I think he is a good manager and you can’t rly judge him at Chelsea

[@tonythebomb4147]

Soon Amorim will be the new Chelsea manager.

[@Gabrielle-66]

The chart for goals from high turnovers is odd. 4th place has multiple clubs with different numbers. And Bilbao and Spurs couldn't have scored 217 goals from turnovers 😅.

[@goodies7813]

Amorim and Xabi both play the 3-4-3 system effectively, but who do you think would win, if they face each other

[@superduperbrain2001]

Alonso only because he has a better squad at Leverkusen than Amorim does with Sporting If however it was a level playing field, that would be a lot more difficult to say

[@Superpartymarty]

Could you do one on Fonseca at Lille please 🙏

[@lezlane1018]

Apparently Amorim has flown into the UK on a private jet to talk about a deal to take over at West Ham. Would love to see it happen but I feel if Liverpool call he will probably end up there. Also David Sullivan is well known for not buying managers out of contracts & I think this guy is on a contract.

[@RNUNES2024]

That’s not Nunes that’s Trincao, Nunes plays already 2 years on premier league

Could Teun Koopmeiners fit into united as a regista in your opinion and should we go for him as a replacement to casemiro or Erikson this summer?

Lost interest as soon as Dave said back 3... lol there's nothing exciting in a back 3 when its comes to man united

[@hariantowijaya1937]

why? a lot of teams who plays attracting football plays with back 3

[@tomatokosir]

I'm not.

[@swagatamghosh94]

Doesn't this sound like another Erik Ten Hag though? ETH played great, expansive, high possession, high-pressing football with Ajax and look what the United players have done to him.

[@peacelove8395]

Look what United players did to: Moyes Louis van Gaal Mourinho Raagnick Ole If you can't see a common theme here then I can't help you.

[@BGeezy4sheezy]

United’s problem is that the club is really poorly run. No coach or player can thrive in that environment.

[@lexxihd5843]

Argueing like that you can never get any manager. United had all types of managers. They all didn't work. The reason is the club. United also ruins all its players.

[@PaulMalgas]

Weid stuff going on weed in the air

[@tnizz1965]

🧐🧐

[@SeanBotha]

Ten hag has go. Less than 59% win rate on all his games as united manager show how dreadful he is

[@StatmanDave]

59% win rate is literally the 2nd best record in Man Utd's history being the great Sir Alex Ferguson (59.7%)...

[@maximumdesigns01]

Whats this guy on 😆

[@swagatamghosh94]

Are you high or a Chelsea fan?

[@nexuscamps6089]

Taking away EtH poor results this season I think with the right recruitment he can change it around. His playing style isn't too dissimilar to this. The only issue is we just don't have the defensive line to allow them to push up the field. The defensive recruitment is absolutely key this summer, and so is the conditioning of players, so we don't end up having to play 30+ different combinations on the back line next season. Without a foundation, a building is nothing.

[@davidmoon6773]

@@nexuscamps6089 the loss of Martinez was huge

[@sebenfc1982]

I'm not buying into his hype at all. I don't think he will be a great manager in big leagues like La Liga and the Premier League. He looks like one of those managers whose sides bottle trophies. The Atalanta game he lost in the Europa League really showed he would struggle against tactically drilled defensive sides. Also, his 5-0 drubbing at home to Man City really showed how out of his depth he is. If he sets up his team in the Premier League like he does in the Portuguese League, it would be like Klopp's Liverpool last season, where teams hit them on the counter so easily.

[@Mixolixplosion]

Except that Sporting being a feeder club was the underdog vs Atalanta. Meanwhile, Liverpool a club operating on a much bigger budget than Sporting was the competition number 1 favourites vs Atalanta and they were destroyed in their own backyard by an organized and disciplined Italian side 😅 Maybe you should stop judging managers on their performance against sides like Atalanta (beating Liverpool 3-0 away) and City (beating Madrid 4-0) 🤷

[@Mixolixplosion]

Not to mention that Sporting were unlucky not to take the game to extra time in Atalanta's backyard.

[@joebongok]

@@Mixolixplosiondont mind to him, hes noob, even ancelotti cant do much to everton and look wht he can do at real madrid.Simple as tht, low budget team how solid they are in tht season, they always gonna lose to big team.

[@isaywhatithink1223]

you said arsenal are levels above villa. I think arsenal have a bigger fanbase but that's it. I think arteta is overrated, has underachieved, emery would have done better with the backing arteta has received. dougie isn't going to go to arsenal because if he is to leave villa at some point it will be for a big club.
