I don\u2019t read it, I protect myself. I don\u2019t watch TV when they are talking about Manchester United. Not because I don\u2019t agree, a lot of time I do, but it\u2019s a way of me being healthy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;My feeling as a coach is enough, I don\u2019t need other feelings. The only way, there is no other way, is to protect myself. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Of course, I lose money from sponsors. On Instagram I could earn a lot of money (but) for my protection of my family and living a normal life it is not worth some more dollars or pounds. It is not worth it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I protect myself and nobody can be tougher than me when we lose and when we don\u2019t play well. Nowadays it\u2019s really normal to have that abuse so it\u2019s the only way to survive in this world.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ruben Amorim\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/f6576241-b616-4f31-ade6-38cb8780795d.jpg.webp.webp\"  width=\"1024\" height=\"687\" class=\"ssrcss-11yxrdo-Image edrdn950\"\/>Image source, Getty Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8216;It is normal to have abuse so it is the only way to survive&#8217;published at 13:35 GMT 13:35&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325497,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-325496","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=325496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=325496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=325496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=325496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
