Monday afternoon in the Great Market City of Manchester. Rays of sunshine beating on the streets. Every table, bench and seat outside cafes. The faces feel the warmth of the sun.
It was a day after Manchester Derby, in which six miles along the Old Trafford road two Manchester clubs for the first time in five years for the first time.
As a result, there were plenty of fallout and speaking. However, it seemed that the mood on the streets of Altrincham was increased by the famous weather.
Sky Sports There are toasts, a cozy café that closed its doors to the public as we waited patiently for Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hoyslund to arrive.
The “coffee is always a good idea” has been decorated to a red brick column near where we sat. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed.
Healing was ordered by cappuccino with oat milk, but Eriksen went to the water. He has never been for coffee, as he told me before we sat down and talked about the Manchester United season.
Neither player avoids disappointment because they both tried to explain and understand why it was so hard to turn around.
The hopes for the Europa League club are still alive after 2-2 towing to Lyon in the first stage of their quarterfinals on Thursday, but the night ended with a low note, because the second mistake of Andre Onana in the game lost them at the time of stopping.
Eriksen Customs Sky Sports“There was a lot of talk this season, but we are in United, so you know that the club and players and everything will focus a lot.
“There were a lot of ascension and falls and a few more falls before we wanted. But we are still in the European League, and then we will continue the pressure in the league to the end.”
Eriksen is in his third season in Manchester United and joined the predecessor of Ruben Amorim Erik that Hag.
“When I arrived with ten hag, it was obviously a slightly different style of playing, a slightly different philosophy of playing,” he says.
“Now it’s a little different system and you have to adapt to it. Often when you’re in the season, it’s harder to turn things because everyone is already in the rhythm of the manager before, but I think you see the procedure.
“People get used to the system, the positions they play in. It’s more about how to get the right transformation in a good way.”
Healing was sitting next to his Denmark member International, adding, “I think that if you ask the manager, he wants it to happen tomorrow.
“But it’s the same for us. We want to do it as best and we want to change it as quickly as possible. There is no recipe for these things. It comes with time.”
A lot of healing numbers before the goal was said a lot this season. In the Premier League he scored only three times and on Thursday endured another difficult night against Lyon.
Healing is aware of the need for improvement, but Amorim said that the lack of goals is a “problem of the team” and not at the beginning of the year error 9 Manchester United.
The healing is grateful for the support of its manager and determined to change his wealth.
“I want to score 100 goals tomorrow, but it is a procedure and focuses on what you can do and how you can get to this level,” he says.
“That’s what we try to do every day, interest in learning new things, we want to improve.
“I think we are now trying to build an environment where we can grow and where we can develop.
“I think he’s also a very young group. Now a lot of young people and young players are going through, a kind that we help each other. Competition is sharper and helps each other to improve us.
“It is obvious that it is important to have players like Christian and a little older players who can get with this experience they have.”
Eriksen spoke two Sky Sports Last month about healing after a draw 1-1 against Arsenal. You felt the power of friendship between these two and how the 33 -year -old midfielder is looking for his united team on and off the pitch.
“If you are 20 years old and come to a club like United, pressure is immediately,” Eriksen says.
“You have to learn to live with it and deal with it soon.
“I’m sure Rasmus has found his way in some way, and as he said, you always have to learn and develop.
“But I think especially here with an external focus from the outside is the reflector to you. In the wrong time in the club, then of course it will be mentally harder.
“It’s very hard for many young guys where it’s the first time this is going through this kind of pressure. I can only imagine that if you go through it, how happy and how easy you will feel afterwards. It’s just about how to really push and find the way.”
Healing rises and says, “Christian was great. He did it calmly. He wasn’t with me like a father and said what to do and something like that, just helped me settle down.
“He helped me where to live and such things.
“I think I have to find my own way. So he was great in understanding when he helped me and when he just let me find my own way if you could give it that way. And that helped me a lot.”
Healing continues: “I knew it was part of the package when I signed.
“You are criticized if you do not work at the level, and if you are not where you want to be a club, which is quite fair.
“But just like Christian also says, you can’t get emotionally in a hole. You have to keep up and find your own way to play, and that’s what we’re for here.”
What is the most important advice that Eriksen would give right now to his younger self or players like healing?
“I think in general, not only for racmus, but for all, it is finding your own way, because each club is different, every manager, anyone who passes, will be a different perspective, a different perspective from the outside,” he says.
“It’s really about finding your own journey as a player, finding why you perform, why you don’t get out, and then just try to build.
“That was my goal from the beginning, and that would probably be my advice when he looked back.”
