"You said you're starting to understand that to play 3-4-3, you [need] a lot of top players and that's not possible. Can I ask why you never realised that when you first came into the club?"
"We can play a different way to take more quality from these players because I have the feeling that if we have to play a perfect 3-4-3 we need to spend a lot of money and need time. I'm starting to understand that is not going to happen so maybe I have to adapt, Amorim said at the time."
"it seems mystifying why you would say a year in, that you only just realised you wouldn't be able to get [enough] top players. Has something changed with regard to what you were told, or did Jason Wilcox [the director of football] talk to you?"
Ruben Amorim declined to discuss a previous remark that playing a 3-4-3 requires many top players and may not be possible under current resources. He repeatedly refused questions at a press conference before the Leeds match about whether a change in transfer budget or conversations with director of football Jason Wilcox prompted the comment. The earlier remark said a perfect 3-4-3 would demand significant spending and time, and that adaptation might be necessary. The manager's downbeat mood contrasted with an earlier cheery appearance, amid reported interest in Antoine Semenyo and uncertainty over available funds and targets.
