Former Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim did not hesitate to criticize his players in public.
The Portuguese did not shy away from taking names on Academy players, his protégés and the stars he signed, as Patrick Dorgu will attest.
That was the Dane called for his lack of composure in the final third.
“He needs to calm down during the game,” Amorim had said. Every time Patrick touches the ball you feel the fear. I can feel the fear. You remember the shot against Everton.
Amorim publicly criticized Patrick Dorgu
“That was easier than the decision he had to make [playing for Denmark] against Scotland. He made a great decision, and I saw it when he played in Italy. But here it is different and sometimes the pressure is hard for them in the beginning, but he has time to improve.”
Perhaps this was his method of inciting them, but in modern times not many people are happy with this, as evidenced by the reactions of prodigies like Chido Obi and Harry Amass.
However, the Denmark international took the criticism in stride and even proved the ex-Sporting CP boss wrong.
In fact, he even agreed with the basic assessment, while also pointing out that he did not fully agree with the statement made in public.
Dorgu’s response
“I don’t think those were the words he was looking for. But I don’t agree that I was nervous. But I agree that I didn’t play as well as I did with the national team.”
“So I didn’t lie and get angry at home because he criticized me,” Patrick Dorgu said Viaplay (via Bold).
And he’s been putting in the hard work ever since, and it shows in his recent performances. registering three goals in the last five games, including one goal and two assists.
And the arrival of Darren Fletcher has certainly helped the 21-year-old play with much more freedom. Now he must continue in the same vein in the coming weeks under the new caretaker boss.
