Bruno Lage's comments on the disciplinary measures taken by Sporting manager Rúben Amorim against the absent player, highlight a management style reminiscent of Sir Alex Ferguson's. Amorim's stance echoes Ferguson's emphasis on leadership, control, and prioritizing the long-term success of the club over individual players, no matter their talent.
The England international was again absent from the travelling party for the 2-0 Boxing Day defeat to Wolves and looks unlikely to return for the visit of Newcastle United on Monday evening."If he's not here, you can make up your mind," Amorim replied when asked by a reporter for Amazon Prime Video.But Amorim's approach would appear to be in line with the one adopted United's legendary manager Ferguson, who was known as serious disciplinarian.
"Some English clubs have changed managers so many times that it creates power for the players in the dressing room. That is very dangerous. If the coach has no control, he will not last. You have to achieve a position of comprehensive control. Players must recognise that as the manager, you have the status to control events.
"I tended to act quickly when I saw a player become a negative influence. Some might say I acted impulsively, but I think it was critical that I made up my mind quickly. Why should I have gone to bed with doubts? I would wake up the next day and take the necessary steps to maintain discipline. It’s important to have confidence in yourself to make a decision and to move on once you have.
