As a Sporting fan i can tell you that amorim it's really a genius not only in tactics but also in communication. This season is being terrible for us but its defintly not his fault, we lost a lot of games against small teams because we didn't score the enormous amount of opportunities that we created, exactly what happened in the game against juve, juve had 1 chance i think, and we spent the all game missing easy chances 😢that's why we r fourth on the league, not because we play bad, but because we are very ineffective. Great video.

@@simaoafonso9007 mano era para atrufiar com a tua resposta a dizer q o Sérgio é muito melhor que o Amorim, mas agora percebi o porquê do exagero 😉💪💪💪

[@afonsosilva5267]

Desculpa mas o Amorim tem culpa pelo facto da época não estar a correr bem. As teimosias dele de não querer ponta, de contratar mais um médio, não fez um planeamento caso algum jogador titular saísse (caso Matheus Nunes) e contratou o Sotiris atoa, jogamos sempre na mesma tática. Mas pronto agora estamos na nossa melhor fase da época e a próxima tem de ser muito melhor a esta. Vamos ver até onde chegamos na liga europa. Se vencermos a liga europa mas acabarmos em 4.º considero uma boa época, porque a liga europa vai ser o troféu mais importante que o sporting bai ganhar na história ( a não ser que futuramente ganhemos a champions também ahaha)

[@cristianonunes8551]

@@afonsosilva5267 No caso Matheus Nunes o Amorim não teve culpa pois o jogador foi vendido sem o consentimento dele, não viste a entrevista dele em que sobre esse assunto ele salienta ser apenas mais um funcionário do clube? Ele deixou claro que não deu consentimento dessa venda, e teve praí menos de 1 semana para ir buscar um substituto... Já sobre o Ponta de lança isso sim, mas epah sabes muito bem que criamos muita chance mas pecamos demais na finalização, e não é só o Paulinho, é o Edwards, é o Trincão, até o Nuno Santos e o Pote têm falhado... Isto já vai além do ponta de lança.

[@afonsosilva5267]

@@cristianonunes8551 sim verdade isso do Matheus o varandas teve culpa também mas mesmo assim, o Amorim devia ter um substituto à altura do Matheus, mesmo que o varandas garantisse que ele ficaria poderiam haver clubes que pudessem ir à loucura pelo Matheus e era um jogador muito difícil de manter. Já isso do ataque precisamos de um ponta precisas de alguém que garanta te golos nas 2 últimas épocas foram o Pote e o Sarabia agora não tens ninguém.

After watching Klops LFC lost 3-0 to Atalanta... while my SCP only lost by the minimum goal diference. He is already missed. if you gotta go, you gotta go! I think that is more important for SCP to keep the administrative managerial structure for the next 40 years. From President Frederico Varandas and Hugo Viana's team, the real winners on hiring Ruben Amorim.

[@odizzle2107]

I wanted Alonso myself but after learning more about Amorim he sounds like a very promising option and with what I’ve heard he’s the clear favourite and I’ve put a few quid on him being next manager. It’s either him or De Zerbi and I think the club will go with Amorim

[@simaoafonso9007]

As a Sporting fan, we can all agree that Sergio Conceição from Porto is a much better coach, who should go to a bigger club way faster than Amorim. Amorim still has a lot to learn at Sporting; Conceição should go to clubs like Tottenham and Chelsea instead of him.

[@potatojuice8950]

Tás maluco 😂 é só veres os Sporting x Porto, o Porto só ganha porque são uns nojentos e porque o Sporting é ineficaz, mas se nós marcassemos as oportunidades que temos eram goleadas todos os jogos c o Porto haha

[@albuquerqueThomas]

@@potatojuice8950 Acho exagerado as "goleadas". Mas que também acho o Ruben Amorim superior acho. Agora, o Conceição tem uma coisa absolutamente incrível, incutir competitividade numa equipa, o FCP não desiste do campeonato, nunca. Contra o Sporting o FCP acaba sempre com mais um, nem socos no Coates vão a VAR e pisadelas contra jogadores do SCP dão amarelos para o SCP... Se fosse ao contrário seria um choradinho infinito.
