Ruben Amorim’s decision to skip applauding fans after the Arsenal win has sparked discussions about his approach to victory and defeat.

Amorim’s coaching team joined the players to cheer on the heroes of the shootout, Joshua Zirkzee and Altay Bayindir, while the fans in the Clock End were applauded by the players. But where was Amorim? He was noticeably absent from the celebrations.
He’s usually pretty visible, especially after losses, where he makes a point to acknowledge the fans. After a tough defeat, he’s right there, taking the heat and facing the crowd. But in this case, he seemed to want the spotlight on his players instead.
It’s interesting to see how he handles wins and losses differently. After a previous loss to Arsenal, he stood on the pitch while the away fans left, and after a draw at Anfield, he quickly exited after a nod to Arne Slot. It’s clear he’s got a strategy, and it’s all about the team taking the credit when they win.
