Ruben Amorim clarifies Alejandro Garnacho situation v Ipswich
Friday’s press conference moved on to the subject of modern footballers being exposed to criticism and Amorim admitted it is hard for the current generation to deal with social media.
“I think it’s completely different for the players nowadays,” he explained. “Before, it was two newspapers and nothing more. With social media, it’s completely different.
“They are so focused on social media. You can’t go to social media without seeing news or a photo or if you read something bad, you focus on that. You can have 100 good things, but then one bad thing and you focus on the bad thing.
“I think it’s really hard for them, you can call it soft, but they have that access to criticism and it is really, really hard to deal with that. They need help to deal with that so it’s the [way of] modern football, and they have to be prepared for that.”
