As a Portuguese who grew up in this era, I can tell you Amorim was never a super star. But he was a very useful all around player with very little weaknesses. He was a smart player
@limoncr5205 nah..

As a Nigerian and A Man United fan, this video gave me Goosebumps.. Seeing Jose Peseiro also made me smile as he recently coached The Nigerian National Team
This Braga team was awesome. Ruben Amorim, Hugo Viana (Next football director of Man City) Eder (the guy that score Portugal's winning goal against France for the Euro 2016), and other great players...top year for them!
Not long before this they were Europa League finalists only to lose to a very strong Porto who had Hulk, Falcao, James Rodriguez etc. One of the most noteworthy teams Braga knocked out that year was Liverpool
Sometimes knowing what will happen in the future must be awesome. Imagine Amorim playing that game and knowing that in 10 years he would be their coach
you saying he is a legend coz he's old and still playing? He's taking a pay check by doing bare minimum if not less...look up meaning of legend please. Id rather say, Ruben did better in his career as he became the teacher and not bench warmer. Dnt get me wrong I love Jonny Evans but we have to be realistic.

As a player he was a bit frustrating to play against as he'd always seem to make the right choices, rarely lost possession, forced opponents into awkward positions, he was solid and seemed to make others around him play better. I'd compare him to someone like Joao Moutinho, only faster but not as good tackling or playmaking as Moutinho was
Signs of a great manager is when they come they produce results without crying about lack if good players. Tuchel and Klopp showed that. For last ten years, every manager that comes to United kicks out existing players (even if they are good) and brings new expensive ones and then leaves the garbage for the next manager. Ruud showed, the fault was not in players but in man management, i hope Amorim can show the same
Exactly. I don't want amorim to come in and pull another Ten Hag by buying a bunch of players saying that united need 3-4 players to compete at the highest level again. As a supporter, I think they already have a good squad of players that just need to be managed correctly.
Half of MU team at that time were stars. But they played with the pride as The Red Devil. Today players get paid high, play like shit on the pitch, but play hard in the bar. Like Rashford, Antony, Jadon, Casemiro…
Nani of United, Beto (goal keeper braga) and Hugo Viana are from Sporting's (Lisbon) academy Also In 2012 Sporting Clube de Portugal eliminated Manchester City of Suarez, Bolotelli, David Silva, Hart. Braga is a one of the best teams in Portugal, specially in last 15 years.
These were the last stages of his career (He’s just 39yo) when he was a lil' bit more heavier than at his peak at SL Benfica. Where let’s be honest, he was never huge but a good center midfielder (that sometimes played as right back). Yet he was always very appreciated by SL Benfica's supporters for his personality/work ethic/simplicity of processes/gameplay and seen as "One of us" even whilst playing for SC Braga (kind of a rival) or even whilst coaching Sporting CP (big rival) which can’t be by any means considered common! Best Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹
Ruud is not just a lengend but a great manager, even after helping a big club like PSV Eindhoven to top and winning 3/4 matches, was willing to assist. If Amorim doesn't do wonders, Ruud will knocking
That’s just the problem, and exactly why Ruud had to go. The sports tabloids would’ve tried to install Ruud as manager the second things didn’t run smoothly for Amorim
@michaeljohn1978 yes true and it's not a good sign that he kicked out the "knowledge" (remember Ronaldo said you can't build united without knowledge) to feel more secure. It only shows that he is low on emotional quotient and might crumble under pressure from tabloids, which obviously would come anyways at some point or the other
@@kumidodasilva6241 it's not only my opinion but also of Christiano Ronaldo, who said Ten Haag cannot build anything without knowledge and Ruud has that knowledge. Same applies to Amorim.
If you still use Johnny Evans , which I never thought he made it to 70% of Rio at his prime maybe 12-13 years ago, and he is similar age as His coach 39 now , I wouldn't use him anymore for a serious PL club , not even mentioning Man Utd. However, I watched this match with surprise contrast how the speed was 1.5 times faster than the Ten Hag Man Utd , certainly the ambition , physical and coach makes so much difference
As a Portuguese who grew up in this era, I can tell you Amorim was never a super star. But he was a very useful all around player with very little weaknesses. He was a smart player

I remember this Braga team but Alan was such a great player. Rúben Amorim was a very good midfielder, in this game he had different tasks than usual.
So he's going to manage at least 1 player he played against in this match. This qualifies Jonny Evans as a living legend.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

I clearly remember this match. But didn't know who Amorim was back then. Now he is our manager. Wow.
Let see what's he can do...
Crazy
What's amazing to me is that Jonny Evans is still here, while Amorim is the coach. I'm looking forward to them working together with excitement.
And he was coached by Jose Peseiro, the former Nigerian national team manager. Interesting.
Was Abt to say this
His playing style is a model of his teams, efficient, steady, intense and sensible.

He's probably dropped Jonny Evans because he scored against his Braga side.
So 100% pass precision, just one failed cross... impressive... also Hugo Viana, the new City director, was playing aswell
0:38 great cross from Hugo Viana, new Man. City's football director!!!
No one cares about man city
Wow. In 2012 he still paly football. And now becoming Manchester United Head Coach. Time fly so fast.
Amorim used to play against Evans now he’s coaching the GOAT
Hugo Viana, the new City sports director made the cross for the first goal. Amorim & Viana made a good team at SCP
The Longevity of Evans is actually underrated
