Sam Allardyce: Liverpool did not choose Amorim because he was too stubborn, the team did not want to play in the third centre of defence [jiayu]


Former England manager Sam Allardyce gave an interview to the media, saying that he understood that Liverpool did not consider inviting Amorim last summer because it was too stubborn.

Allardyce said: "In my opinion, it is not easy for Amorim to give up 343 because he is already using it. United chose Amorim because they saw what he had achieved in Portuguese sport and how his tactical system worked in the country. So, like he said, if he had come to Manchester United and said, 'OK, now we're playing back four.' 'Which obviously conflicts with his strengths. "

"I was told that Liverpool did not consider Amorim because he was too stubborn, Liverpool did not want to play in the third centre, the team did not want to do it, Liverpool is not a team that plays in the third centre, so the club brought in Slott. "
