Preseason Insights: Mount and De Ligt Discuss Goals and Growth

Our trip to the United States, featuring matches against West Ham United, Bournemouth, and Everton, has been crucial for Amorim as it allows him to get his players ample training time. This not only helps them build their physical fitness but also enables him to convey essential tactical strategies in preparation for the upcoming season.

“I believe both types of training sessions are vital,” De Ligt remarked, as he is set to play a key role in Amorim’s much-talked-about back-three formation. “We witnessed last season in the Premier League just how fit every team is, making fitness an incredibly important factor.”

“Additionally, we now have ample time to focus on tactical training. Last season was challenging with the Europa League and numerous matches, which made it harder for the manager to fully implement his vision.”

“Both elements are essential, and I can already see that we’ve made progress in both areas. I hope we can continue to improve.”
