However, Amorim also acknowledged that the team's training sessions can be intense, and he emphasized the importance of players being prepared for the high level of competition.

In addition to discussing Lacey, Amorim also spoke about teenage striker Chido Obi. Amorim reflected on Obi's breakthrough last season, which came earlier than expected, and noted that the team had to take advantage of the opportunity to give young players a chance to develop.

Amorim cautioned that promoting young players too quickly can be challenging, as they may feel pressure to perform and may struggle with the demands of playing for the first team. He emphasized the importance of young players behaving well and being prepared for the responsibilities that come with being part of the first team.
