'It was a nice interaction about what Ruben Amorim’s ideology is towards team sport': Gautam Gambhir

India head coach Gautam Gambhir; Man United boss Ruben Amorim

Does a player need to adapt for the team or vice versa? This was the topic of discussion between Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir and Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim when their respective sides gathered at the Red Devils's training headquarters in Carrington, Manchester on Sunday for a sponsor's event.

The situation Gambhir and Amorim find themselves in is quite similar. In the last 10 games that United have played under Amorim's stewardship, they have lost six, while under Gambhir, India have lost eight out of their last 11 Tests.

"It was a nice interaction about what his [Amorim's] ideology is towards team sport and what my ideology is towards team sport. The basic foundation of team sport is very similar, where I feel, it is the player that adapts to what the team needs rather than team that adapts to a certain individual, that is the culture which we want to build," Gambhir, who like Amorim is under pressure, told BCCI.TV.
