by Only a few countries produce coaches with the rate and quality of Portugal in a modern game, where they not only taught how to build teams and improve players, but also how to hold a crouch.
There were times in Old Trafford when Ruben Amorim and Vitora Pereira were involved in their own personal struggle, which was often stronger than the campaign on the field. This was a case of the master’s show for Manchester United.
Amorim and Pereira would both take over this familiar stubborn position, observe the action from a low distance and hold the pose, showing impressive strength in the knees and calves. These physical properties are not all Portuguese coaches in common because they also like the same system.

For a large part of this game, a 3-4-2-1 simply canceled another. It was no surprise that the game was celebrated by a set piece. For Amorim, this could be seen as a success under the circumstances. This was the 15th defeat of United in the Premier League season, and it leaves it in the real danger to take the 17th place, but it was also the most meaningless backward material of a miserable domestic campaign.
According to the euphoria on Thursday evening, this would always be a comedown for United. The rest of her Premier League campaign is about avoiding injuries and a few young people to bleeding.
Pereira was an interested observer in the middle of the chaos on Thursday evening and was sitting in the first row of the box of the directors for a night that the big old stadium will never forget. After Amorim had made five changes, his opposite number probably didn’t learn much and everything he had received in his media tasks before the game in the areas of media, the condition of traffic in Old Trafford was.
It could be viewed a little unfair to compare managers and systems on the basis of wolves that play their strongest side and to make United changes if their focus shifted to Europe.
Amorim also pointed out that Wolves played a back before Pereia’s arrival and gave his compatriot a lead into the introduction of his ideas in the squad. For this reason, the 56-year-old has made faster progress than Amorim to convey his ideas.
He also took over a squad with the right fit for many of the roles in a 3-4-2-1. Andre and Joao Gomes are a combative but controlling pair of midfield. Rayan Ait-Nouri is one of the best Wing back in the Premier League, and Nelson Semedo is of course on the right.
Jorgen Strand Larsen is a kind of sporty and physical striker who is ideal for giving his team a ball, and Matheus Cunha is one of the best No. 10 in the league.
These positions are now a dying art, with so many teams playing variations of 4-3-3 and often set up twin No. 8S or box-to-box midfielder. Cunha is a relapse from a playmaker, but also one with a fatal eye for the goal. It sits behind Larsen Beach, but has a license to roam through in almost every area of the field and cause problems.
This was the first start of the former striker of Atletico Madrid since March 1, and he showed signs of Rostess. He was unloaded on his butt by debutant Tyler Fredricson in the first half and then wasted the best counterattack chance of wolves at the end of the first half.
United had the game in the game, despite a much changed XI and the reserved nature of the game. The impressive Harry Amass and Patrick Dorgu sent some dangerous crosses and the chances started to come after the break. If there was an obvious comparison, it was the lack of target threat.
Once again Rasmus Hojlund suffered an afternoon full of frustration, summarized by defeating Emmanuel Agbadou on the touchline brilliant before losing all attitude when entering the last third. He was not sure whether he should go to the inside or outside of dead, ran down a blind alley and lost the angle for a shot.
However, there was enough to encourage Amorim. Another defeat is disappointing, but the similar type of facility of the two teams was for an interesting comparison and united in this game much better than in December in Molineux.
They have lost again, but look hard enough and there are signs of progress.
