“I think he wants to stay and we want him to stay,” stated Amorim. “So that is clear and we will find a solution.”
Amad has been used as a right wing-back under Amorim but is also an option for a more advanced role, behind the centre-forward. He told the upcoming edition of Inside United that he is happy to play anywhere for the Reds, even telling the head coach that he would don the gloves and go in goal for him!
Although surely never going that far, our no.16’s versatility is something that greatly appeals to the head coach.
“I think that’s one of the great advantages of Amad,” added the Portuguese. “He’s very good for me. He’s very good playing in that position, but also playing between the lines, because he has a good control and he seems faster with the ball than without the ball, so it’s something that he has and he’s capable of playing in both positions and he can play in different systems.
“So, in the future, we will play in a different system, maybe. So he is that kind of player that we need in the team.”
