Topic: UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season - page 31. (Read 21862 times)

Xabi Alonso has already proven himself to be one of Europe's finest coaches in recent times and at such has been attracting interest from so many clubs, I think he has been able to sustain the progress of his side from last season up to this moment thereby stabilizing the team despite the fact that they are playing in a different competition which is quite different from the Europa League where they participated last season and so far I think they are not doing badly too,

 but against Liverpool it seems they are going to face some difficulties due to the nature of the Liverpool side who are quite fast and always seem to be on the counter attacks against their opponents, the Leverkusen side must try to prevent Liverpool from taking advantage of the wings, if they fail to do that then they may end up conceding many goals in the hands of liverpool.

I personally hope Ruud Van Nistelrooy to stay longer. He can be the head coach's assistant or something else. Yet, i'm feeling pessimistic. Manchester United agreed to bring all of Amorim's coaching staff to Old Trafford. So, it seems there's no fukin' place for Ruud. However, it seems Ruud has tried to set himself as the next manager if Amorim doesn't work out. This based on Ruud's latest interview.

It is like that, as a team they must help each other so that the process runs very well, especially in the adaptation process. A coach will definitely need to work harder to get to know the players they have, because it will greatly affect the strategy they will implement. The coach must also know very well what the advantages of a player are that they can utilize better. Because in several cases I saw there were coaches who did not really know the character of the game of their players, so that made them fail. Interestingly, when the player is handled by a coach who is very familiar with the characteristics of the game, they can show their best game.

The next three games are going to be positive for Manchester United as they have a new interim manager and this will bring back some form into the team. When the interim manager is removed and the new manager also takes charge, things will still be looking fresh for some games but after few months then we can see how the manager is doing. Manchester United problem isn't about their manager but the players. The players didn't like Erik ten hag and they didn't want to play well to keep him at the club. The game that Manchester United played against Leicester city, although it wasn't Leicester strongest side but in the game the players played well for the manager.

I think this may be affected by how well he does as an interim coach, Van Nistelrooy might not be an assistant for Amorim, since he want some of his coaching staff with him before moving to Manchester United but I think Van Nistelrooy will be more likely given a new position  at the club, since can be a role among the coach. Also, maybe Manchester United might be having more than one assistant for a short while once Amorim shows up.

After Ruben Amorim came to this team I am sure Manchester United did not immediately cut off cooperation with Van Nistelrooy because after all Ruben Amorim needs an assistant to help him and the new manager definitely needs to know the club he is coaching and the only one who will give him direction is Van Nistelrooy who understands the current situation of Man United even though Amorim has known the chaos that has occurred at Man United recently but still Van Nistelrooy is the one who knows where the club's mistakes are and Amorim is the one who makes the decision on how to fix the situation it takes time for Amorim to improve his performance so I hope everyone will wait for the final results of Amorim this season if at the beginning it is still not consistent enough we must be able to understand it.

Another option that can be done when whoever the coach is later recruited is to try to change the habits of the players. There are no bad players, it is just the ability of the coach that may not be able to utilize them well. If a player has a big ego then it is the coach's job to try to change that style and maybe be firm about sanctions if it continues to not be improved.

At least for the time being Ruud has made a few changes and this will be the real challenge when the new coach comes in. We hope that with the new coach, Manchester United can bring changes so they can return to a positive path.

If Ruben Amorim wants to understand the situation in the Man United squad more quickly. So of course asking for direction from Ruud Van Nistelrooy would be a pretty good step. And actually Ruud Van Nistelrooy also said that he was interested in continuing to help Man United for a longer time and he was ready to be given any role when the new coach arrived. And it is estimated that Ruben Amorim will come to MU around November 10. And that means Nistelrooy will still lead the Man United squad in several upcoming matches, including against Chelsea and several other matches after that. And actually, if Man United wins the match against Chelsea then I will really appreciate Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Because it seems like he really can be relied on there.

Indeed, for now Xabi should focus on Leverkusen and really optimize their performance better considering they face tougher competition, last season they were able to get success because Bayern Munich was also in declining condition but now Bayern Munich is performing well and Leverkusen must also focus on the UCL which is an important competition that they must complete at least better and any team that will be Xabi destination still has to wait for next season to confirm the answer.

In the next Europa League match schedule, the opening brings Besiktas against Malmo FF and this match is very important for both of them because they both have 1 win with 2 losses and this victory can make improve their standings, Besiktas plays with the advantage at home so they can be more sure to save 3 points in full.

The coming in of Amorim will not be successful if he is not well informed of the recent development in the Manchester United team because he may have seen the situation in the team but he will need not just the assistance of the interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy rather he will need the help and cooperation of the players, the management of the team for him to be able to run the job without issues.
Bruno being the United captain will help to bring bond to the team since Amorim is his country man I think he will have an easy going relationship with the team be he will work with the team very well.

I am sure Amorim really needs direction from Ruud van Nistelrooy considering that for now he is the only one who understands the situation and condition of the players after Erik Ten Hag left. So it can be said that his presence will provide a real picture for Amorim to build an initial relationship with the United squad. Amorim needs to adapt to get to know all the United players even though some of them are Bruno who is also Portuguese but overall a quick adaptation is needed in the current situation where the competition is in the middle of the road.

Literally Ruben Amorim may have to work with Van Nistelrooy till almost the end of the season if he would want to achieve great results as implementing a completely new strategy almost immediately will not be productive enough and may get them to struggle through the season and it will still feel like when they still had their former head coach but he can gradually bring in the idea of a new strategy and they will literally get used to it before the season comes to an end. Manchester United can still have a chance in the Europa league if they continue diligently in the spirit of the results they got in their first game after the exit of ETH.

Of course, this dismissal brings happiness to all fans who have wanted Ten Hag to be fired since last season. With this dismissal, it brings a breath of fresh air for Man United so that they can immediately improve the standings under the new coach later, especially in the European league where they have not been able to achieve a single win from the three matches that have been played in the European league, all ending in a draw. This is bad for a team like Man United.

The dismissal of Ten Hag was right, this was proven under Ruud as interim coach, Man United managed to display a satisfactory performance and even achieved a big win. Players like Bruno played well when given freedom, Man United's game has changed and is organized, three players are always there, the distance is not too far. That is what distinguishes it from coach Ten Hag whose game is very chaotic, the game must be from below, the defense line goes down, while the two midfielders are a bit far from the wing position, playmaker, winger, and striker.

I also think so, if Ruben Amorim is appointed as Man United coach then Van Nistelrooy must be his assistant because Van Nistelrooy knows Man United very well so it will make it easier for Ruben Amorim to adapt so he can quickly get chemistry with the players which in the end Man United's hopes of improving the standings and qualifying for the last 16 of the Europa League can be realized.

I admit that Ten Hag dismissal gives a happy impression because he has given a big score in another competition. But if this is related to the European league match, I don't think I agree if Man United rushes to inaugurate Ruben Amorim as coach before the next European league match starts.
Because a new coach must really experience adaptation and this will worsen the situation that should have improved.
So I would agree more if Ruben Amorim was immediately inaugurated as MU coach but in terms of pursuing the European league match, at least Ruben Amorim must continue to work with Van Nistelrooy to get better results.

After Ten Hag's dismissal by Man United then trained by Ruud van Nerstelrooy for a while and most likely Ruben Amorim will later become the manager of Man United because this issue is the most talked about. It must be admitted that the spirit of Man United's game is back alive again, this is a good start.

RVN for a while clearly made good changes so that Man United's game was good again and they also won big against Leicester City in the League Cup. This is a good start to restore confidence especially in the European league which has never won once.

Man United has changed in the first match after the manager was fired. However, we need to see how their next performance is against Chelsea in the EPL and against PAOK in the European League whether Man United is able to get positive results. If successful, then the players can really work well with the coach and hope that it does not happen again like the previous coach who started well but problems reappeared after the honeymoon period passed.

We hope this is a new revival for Man United. The victory over Leicester City was a sweet victory and they rose again. Hopefully it will affect their position in the league standings in the domestic league and in the European league.

In fact, Ruben Amorim is the current frontrunner and has also been very close to becoming Manchester United manager. But for the current interim coach of Manchester United, it is clear that the previous assistant coach was appointed as head coach,  and he is Ruud van Nistelrooy. In the first match, Ruud van Nistelrooy made Manchester United win big in the EFL Cup because Manchester United managed to beat Leicester with a big score of 5-2. But indeed, before I also said that if the scenario of dismissing Erik ten Hag happened,  then it was certain that Ruud van Nistelrooy would become the interim coach. Also, before I said that cases like this more often make teams recover, because scenarios like this also happen quite often when teams have interim coaches, even though in the end they will not be able to be consistent.

Xavi Alonso is a superior coach, and any major club would prefer to have a coach like him. Bayern Leverkusen will not want to let Xabi Alonso leave the club because he still has things to win for the club, having won the Bundeliga trophy and even the German Cup, so he is hoping to be in the Champions League after failing to defeat Atalanta in the Europa League final, and no one expected Leverkusen to lose the game because they were in better shape and expected to defeat and win the Europa League trophy, but they failed. Now they are in better shape. In both the league and the UCL, let's see what Xabi Alonso will achieve this season with Leverkusen this time. Because am very impressed with what they are playing in the Champions league and there next game will be against Liverpool, and that game will be very interesting to watch because both of them are in better shap this season in the league and ucl. I think Xabi Alonso will like to win the ucl before he make is decision for leaving Leverkusen and move to any big club in Europe.

Manchester United have sacked ten hag and finally what the fans expect has come true now, Manchester United performance under ten Hag coaching is very bad not only in the league but in the European league they are one of the teams that have not won at all, I think the change of coach at least gives hope that change will happen at Manchester United later and I think Manchester United must inaugurates Amorin as coach Before the 4th match of the Europa League is played, so that at least Manchester United will experience a change in strategy and also improve their performance to achieve their first victory in the Europa League.

It is not easy to bring in a new coach, even one with class and a record of many achievements does not guarantee that Manchester United can immediately skyrocket in performance. What is certain is that they are currently reviewing several names that will replace Ten Hag's role. In addition, it is not certain that the coach they appoint will be willing to handle Manchester United. Moreover, Nistelrooy is currently trusted to handle Manchester United even though he has the status of interim coach. However, his debut paid off when United won over Leicester in the EFL Cup. For now, the focus of the club's management is not to bring in players, but to find a coach or is looking for a coach who is ready and will take United in a better direction. The Ten Hag era is over, IMO, maybe he was overwhelmed to handle a team as big as Manchester United. For now, the interim coach is handling The Red Devil. Moreover, Nistelrooy is one of Manchester United's legends and perhaps he can actually raise the spirit and motivation of Manchester United's players. This week United will host Chelsea in the Premier League competition, host PAOK in the Europa League competition in the 4th session. Interestingly, we see how Nistelrooy led Manchester United while under his tutelage.

It is no Rumour that Xabi Alonso has been the target for so many clubs in Europe especially the elite ones like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and even Liverpool but I don't think he would be leaving before the end of the season because he is tied to Bayer Leverkusen till the end of the season and then he would have to evaluate his options and know what decision to take or where to go next to continue his managerial business. Xabi Alonso has proven himself to be a very good coach by winning the German league and the German cup last season and ending up as runners up in the Europa League where they lost to FC Atalanta in the final and ever since he been recognised as one of the emerging coaching prospects in European football and looks like a possible replacement for Carlo Ancelotti if he decides to leave Real Madrid anytime soon.
