“With all due respect, when you play against a fourth division team, it’s not the goalkeeper, it’s everything,” he told Sky Sports. “It’s the environment, it’s the way we face the competition. We know that in the moment, people will pay attention to everything, it’s massive – every detail. We showed that performance today. My players spoke for me, really loud.
“It doesn’t matter if we recover [from 2-0 down] or not. It’s the signs the team made during the game. The beginning of the game.
“I know that the best team won, the only team that was on the pitch. The best players lose, because one team can win against any group of players.
“I think the team and the players spoke really loud today. That’s it. We lost. The best team won.”
Asked to clarify what he meant by his players speaking “really loud”, Amorim added: “It’s really clear what they spoke. Let’s move on from this day. I think it was really clear for everybody what happened today.
“It’s not just the space, but the way we started the game without any intensity. All the ideas of the pressure, we were completely lost. It’s hard to explain. That’s what they spoke really loud.
“When you lose but you see something new, it’s different. When you see something different like today, it’s hard to talk about that.
“I just want to say I’m really sorry to the fans. The support they give me, the support that they are always, with all the defeats, with the team, today I have nothing to say apart from sorry.
“I think they gave the response on the pitch today. Now, we have a game in the weekend and then two weeks off. We will solve things out.” -skysports
