Marco Silva frustrated: “It is clearly a very unfair defeat”
Fulham lost at home to Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United, in a match in which they regretted their lack of effectiveness, especially in the first half
In a clash between Portuguese teams, Ruben Amorim came out on top at Marco Silva’s home ground and secured Manchester United ‘s second consecutive victory (1-0). At the end of the game, the Fulham coach lamented the defeat, mainly because, in his opinion, they were far superior, especially in the first half.
“It’s clearly a very unfair defeat. It was a balanced game, clearly, during the first half we were the more dangerous team, but we have to be more deadly. We had the best moments to score, we dominated the first half. The second half was a bit different, Harry Wilson ’s injury had an impact, it took away some of our quality, we dropped a bit, but the goal ended up happening on a rebound, a good shot, but a lot of luck at the moment of the goal”, he began by saying, in a quick interview with DAZN, commenting on the lack of efficiency.
«The team’s reaction ended up being good, Manchester clearly dropped back, we had a corner taken off the goal line and two great chances for Rodrigo . It’s clearly an unfair result given what both teams did», he explained, speaking about Martínez ‘s goal .
“It was a happy moment for a team that did very little to try to win the game. It ended up being a very unfortunate moment for us, but that’s football. When we’re on top of games we have to create more opportunities and try to score goals, because that will end up making the difference,” he said, not wanting to reveal the conversation he had with his compatriot and also former Sporting player .
«The message I leave for him I already did when he arrived in English football and I already did it before the game (laughs)», he concluded.
