Postecoglou, Amorim and the art of a post-match interview

But Robyn does reflect after a tricky moment.

“You look at yourself and think could I have phrased things differently? And usually the answer is yes.

“It is really important how you phrase things because if it doesn’t go quite as you would like, then you do get the occasional: Sorry, what did you just say?

“And when that happens your stomach drops and it’s not a nice feeling.”

Bryn adds there is another consideration for managers who have English as their second language, like Amorim.

He says managers are trying to translate the English into the home language and then craft a response under time pressure.

“And that can be an issue in terms of the way you phrase things with nuance.

“Humour can be difficult as well.”

But sometimes with all the training and plans, managers will end up doing their own thing.

Like bringing up an assistant referee and their sandwich.
