The home side took advantage of the first-half sending off of captain Bruno Fernandes, the lively Matheus Cunha scored directly from a corner to first separate the teams. As United threatened to equalise, Wolves counter-attacked in the 99th minute to seal the victory.
Amorim gave his to the BBC and Prime Video Post-Match. . .
The Reds endured a difficult night in the black country, where a red card just after halftime proved decisive.
Game Control
“There were two other parts. We played forty-five minutes without a single man. It was difficult for us, but we didn’t have many opportunities. Even with 10 men, we are close to their goal at the moment, but, once again, a set piece adjusts the game [and makes it] even more complicated. We control the first part. Sometimes we lose the ball, the Wolves make transitions, but we control the game. We lacked a little aggression in the final third, but we had control of the game. Then we have the time to do something else, but then the player ships, it’s actually complicated for us. “
Frustration in the corner of Cunha
“I saw last week the same opposite purpose to Tottenham. Replace the way you see the ball.
“Some guys are not even looking to the ball. But I don’t want to focus on that. The good thing is we were near the goal even with 10 men, but we lost and we continue our job.”
ATTACKING AT THE END
“That situation [the response to the goal] was good because you can feel it, even in the stadium and the other team. We pushed the other team with 10 men, near their box, but in the end, lots to improve.”
Building relationships
“We have to improve the relationships but we have some moments, I think we lack a little bit of aggression, but we train, we try to find a better way to win games, but we controlled the games, like the other ones we lost. I think we were always in control, not always dominating, but in control, but the same things, set-pieces and also the sending off was really hard for us. I said it before everybody: it will be a long journey and this moment will be really tough. We have to continue. We need to have time to train.”
