1. Why fire Amorim now?
For two years, the team had no characteristics and no tactics to speak of. When the two wing-backs were obviously lacking in ability, there was no alternative plan. There was no tactical adaptation based on the personal characteristics of the players. For example, Cunha, who has excellent ball-holding ability, either advanced forward or provided support on the wing, but there was never anything like this. The one-on-one threat posed by Saka on the wing like Arsenal's Saka, who is equally weak in confrontation but has stronger offensive desire and better support ability than Sichun, has no protective tactics. He simply exposed his shortcomings throughout the season and fell into confusion. In this way, what's the problem with such a coach being fired?
2. Time point, why dismissal now?
The controversy surrounding this point in the district is mainly about the so-called power struggle as a palace battle. Assuming that from Larjue's perspective, Amorim's first season was not a complete season when he took over midway. Although the answer sheet Amorim handed over was the disastrous result of sixteen league games and a loss in the Europa League, it is known that "Lajue regretted his mistake in renewing the bald head after the FA Cup final", giving Amorim another full season should be regarded as an extremely rational choice for Lajue. But why did La Jue fire Amorim now? This is due to Amorim's lineup selection this season, team injuries, and the team's performance after the departure of the main players in the African Cup of Nations. Fans who have watched so many late games this season must have the same feeling. If the team wants to win, it can only rely on the instant extraordinary performance of its star players. In the games after the main players are injured, there is no tactical guidance from the coach at all. It is really impossible to see a glimmer of hope. I think this has proven that Amorim's coaching ability is extremely limited and ordinary, so it is not difficult to understand why Lajue chose to cut his losses.
3. The team has obviously improved this season and is now sixth in the league. Why should they be fired?
Put yourself in his shoes, such a poor team led by Amorim was able to achieve such results. I immediately decisively cut off the losses to stop the losses. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to replace a more capable coach? I firmly believe in Lajue and have full confidence in the next person to officially become the head coach!
