When asked about the changes since the Europa League final, Amorim explained that his team is now more confident and controls games more consistently.

"The characteristics of the players are different in the team now," Amorim said. "We have players who played last year, but we are a better team. We understand the game better. We are more confident."

Amorim emphasized that his team's confidence has grown since the Europa League final, when they were confident in their ability to win but ultimately fell short. Now, they are playing with a different level of confidence.

Regarding recent comments from Cristiano Ronaldo, who stated that the club does not have the structure needed to win the Premier League and is "not in a good path," Amorim said, "Of course, he knows he has a huge impact on everything he says. But what we need to focus on is in the future."

Amorim acknowledged that the club has made mistakes in the past and is trying to change them. He emphasized the importance of focusing on the future and the changes being made to the team's structure and players' behavior.

When asked if not having European football is a boost to the team, Amorim said, "It's not seeing the positives, it's using the positives. I would say, yes, having more time to train and prepare can be a benefit."

However, Amorim also acknowledged that the team will face European competition in the future and is looking forward to it.

Finally, Amorim addressed the issue of clean sheets, which has been a problem for the team. He acknowledged that it is a major issue and emphasized the importance of defending well and being more aggressive.

"It's a problem," Amorim said. "We need to defend well and be more aggressive. Everything is connected. We cannot concede the amount of goals we are conceding at the moment."

Amorim also emphasized the importance of paying attention to defense and not allowing opponents to have too many shots on goal, as seen in the team's last game.

Overall, Amorim is focused on the future and the changes being made to the team, and is looking to continue his team's good form against Tottenham this weekend.
