Amorim: The harder the game is for Cunha, the more calm he becomes. Defeating Brighton is more important than defeating Liverpool.

In the 9th round of the Premier League, Manchester United 4-2 Brighton at home, winning three consecutive league victories for the first time since February last year, and rising to fourth in the standings. After the game, Amorim specifically praised Cunha and Casemiro in an interview.

Talk about Cunha

"I think everyone can feel that he has become more confident when facing a strong opponent like Liverpool. The more difficult the game is, the more calm he is and he is willing to take responsibility. I really appreciate his defensive efforts today. Polarity, he didn't blindly challenge for the top or lose his rhythm when returning to defense. His performance on the defensive end today was perfect. When he got the ball, I was completely relieved. He was troubled by not scoring goals before and tried to hide it, but I understand him today. I'm very happy, not just Cunha, the whole team has a good understanding of how to play a high-level game. "

On Casemiro

"I think he brings a lot of experience and he is a role model for everyone. Initially he was introduced late in the midfield pecking order, even behind Collier. But through hard work, he is now back with the national team. He is very important for us. He ran very actively today, fought hard, pressed and then returned to defense. I am very satisfied with his performance and other players should also pay tribute to Card. Semiro learns, understands the ever-changing situation on the field, and as long as you work hard and make me think you are the best player to play, you will get the opportunity. "

On the importance of this victory

"It is very important, not only because of the result, but also because of our performance. We adopted different strategies for different situations at different stages of the game and the players had a good understanding of what to do at different moments. We did experience some difficulties at the end of the game, but it wouldn't be a Manchester United game without a little twist. Yes, we fully deserved this victory. The opponent was very good and their high press was very oppressive, but we did a very good job. I think the players are more confident now and our best game this season was against Arsenal. And when you're confident, you have a different mental outlook, which helps win games, and that's how I feel now. We have become more calm, and we were luckier last week because of this calmness. "

Is defeating Brighton more important than defeating Liverpool?

"I do think that we were more complete in this game. You can have any problem with that game against Liverpool, but Liverpool didn't deserve to win that game. Today, we did everything we had to do, get the ball and create chances. We defended high and we defended low. When everything is better, it's not a statement, I feel more complete as a coach. So compared to Last week, I enjoyed today's game more. "

Talk about tactical arrangements

"Our plan is to let the defenders press forward actively. When we have Maguire, we can better protect the penalty area, so we can slightly lower the height of the defense line. But when you have players who can press high...Luke Shaw is not tall but he is very fast and aggressive and we can press high and we know once we get the ball we have players in front of the goal and our attackers are very good and it only takes one chance to score.
