Athletic coach Rubén Amorim denied on Thursday that he provided his seat in case the club hired Cristiano Ronaldo and assured that such a possibility, despite being much talked about, was never put forward.
“O [Cristiano] Ronaldo is a Manchester United player, he was never introduced to me, so it is impossible to give a place, ”the manager said, faced with news published this week by some English media.
According to Amorim, there will be “other things” that will make him “clear up faster” than the possibility of being hired by the CR7 club, which he does not do because he has a “commitment to the club and especially the players” from the current “white-green » Composition.
“Therefore, this is not true. And this hypothesis has never been put forward. It has been talked about a lot, but it has never been put forward,” he concluded.
Moreover, Amorim ensured that he maintains “normal relations” with the management under the chairmanship of Frederico Varandas, who on Wednesday called him “the best coach of the Portuguese I League” in football “and one of the best in the world”, but “rejected” the support of the club’s management. “especially at these stages” sports results are below expectations.
“I don’t really like support, especially at these stages. Management doesn’t need to support me. This is what you should do when you understand I feel quite comfortable. always well accompanied, because my players accompany me,” he stressed.
In this sense, the coach emphasized that he considers his players “always the best in the world” and refused to be “unhappy” with the club’s signings in the current transfer market, not least because “at such moments it seemed that he was blaming others”.
The coach answered questions about Cristiano Ronaldo and his relationship with the club ahead of the meeting with Estoril Praia of the fifth round of the Portuguese Football League, scheduled for 21:15 on Friday, at the António Coimbra da Mota stadium in Estoril, refereeing Manuel Oliveira (AF Porto).
