“It is really important for us to have time to train and have the link between everyone – even the staff.
“In training, we are going to the field and get to know each other in the right environment.
“It’s really important and you can then have a week to prepare.
“The start of the week, you can work on your ideas, then have time to focus on the opponent.
“Kobbie in this position has played very well, with more freedom”

Diogo Dalot and Kobbie Main marked the goals for visitors, both coming in the second period.
It was not Vintage United, but enough to do the work.
Mainoo in particular shone in a role n ° 10, while Dalot finally seems comfortable to operate as aile.
Amorim added: “I can better understand my players. I put Kobbie Mainooo in this position, we need time to understand the players because he struggled a lot as a midfielder.
“As 10, he was so free by playing the ball near the box.
“We need time to work with players to understand what is the best position for them.”
According to whom the playoffs won, United could face Roma, Ajax, FCSB or Viktoria Plzen at 16.
