Dalot: 'Amorim Demands Relentless Effort for Playing Time'

Diogo Dalot, defender for Manchester United, highlighted the rigorous standards set by manager Ruben Amorim, stating that players must consistently demonstrate hard work to earn their spot in the lineup.

Dalot remarked, "The manager's message has been clear from the start: if you want to succeed and improve, you must endure hardships. This principle applies not only in football but also in life. We have to work diligently. To succeed at this club, you must be prepared to suffer; otherwise, there's no place for you in the squad."

Reflecting on the recent victory in the Manchester derby against Manchester City, where United overturned a deficit to win 2-1, Dalot expressed, "This result is truly special. Since joining United, playing at the Etihad Stadium has always been challenging. For the first time, I felt we had emotional control and believed we could win at any moment, indicating our progress under the new manager."

He continued, "In recent years, we've had such intense matches, fighting until the end, embodying the club's DNA. Against City, we showcased United's character, playing sensibly and maintaining energy and unity, especially after conceding the first goal."
