“We have a very good player there”: Amorim gushes over incredible United star who was “too relaxed” in draw vs. Arsenal

After the final whistle, Amorim spoke to reporters and praised Heaven, who was solid and helped the Red Devils secure a valuable point.

Amorim also gave his verdict on United’s performance.

The Portuguese coach said, “Just the low block…the way to give the ball to the opponent. It’s the spirit to follow the plan, to be together…that’s a good thing. This is an example for the future, but I’m just saying about the low block and you can feel a little bit the frustration of our fans in the first half.”

Amorim emphasised that he does not want United to be a team that primarily plays in a low block.

“The plan was perfect. What I mean is that we have to have more possession of the ball, more control of the ball and press a little bit high. We press sometimes, especially in the goal kicks and free kicks near Raya’s goal. We press quite well but in the future, I want to play different football – to spend more time attacking with the ball in the final third than defending in the low block.”

On playing better against bigger teams than perceived weaker opponents, Amorim answered, “I don’t know, maybe it’s because in those games it’s a little bit more acceptable to play a low block and that can help us a lot. Against other teams, we have to push forward and that’s why it’s difficult here [at home].
