Patrice Evra on being managed by Sir Alex Ferguson | BBC Sounds

[@mrsoftnessful]

Man management 101. Ferguson knew psychologically how to motivate players. Something that cannot be taught because not one player under ferguson has become a good manager

[@Its.My.Life.]

Good or great ?

[@christopherng5085]

Have u met Roy Keane ?

[@Tatwamasi_Om]

​@christopherng5085 yes and he was a crap manager.

[@tonyfnd]

I love Patrice in every way. His love and loyalty for our club and for Sir Alex. ❤️❤️

[@karlmathewrose888]

I cant imagine modern younger players coping with this style of management.

[@Iamcruddy1]

You realise Fergie only finished managing UTD 8 years ago..2013,not 1913 ..I’m sure the modern day footballer would be fine

[@karlmathewrose888]

@@Iamcruddy1 Very good point raised.

[@G17x]

I mean, managers like Mou or Simeone are still around. Yeah they all got different styles ot management but you get my point....

[@CharlesOHene]

@@Iamcruddy1 but he definitely changed his style of management towards the end of his career

[@siralexferguson4640]

Fergie always adapted. Master could manage any player in any era.

[@SehajSingh94]

This is a brilliant anecdote. Cheers Uncle Pat!

[@iansharp9918]

Masterclass

[@brianogorman7752]

I love all the anecdotes from the manager and dressing room. Just to learn of the winning culture and mentality

[@Stewie-A-Simpson]

Man management at its finest. Ferhiwot knew which players he had to push hard and which players to put his arm around them. It comes down to knowing the personality of your players.

[@FountainOfYoot]

Best manager of all time.

[@shishibenterfa]

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!

[@neemnoa303]

These players could "stand in the fire" because they grew up in a time when you had to stand up for yourself and take responsibility. Now criticism is taken as an offense and being a victim is glorified.

[@usxnews1834]

sounds like you've been redpilled

[@saucybiscuits1150]

The whole point of Ferguson flaming Evra despite him playing well was so that it would send a message indirectly to other players in the changing room that couldn't take that criticism

[@Ali-gz4ec]

There is a method to disciplining the top performer/highest earner more harshly than other players. It sends a clear message that nobody can get away with anything less than 100% effort and desire.

[@10MHIbrahim]

Fergie is like a father figure

[@brownmoney27]

Yeah, an unreasonable one from the seventies whose children need years of therapy to get close to becoming normal

[@avibhau23]

​@@brownmoney27What?

[@rcr-el4qg]

Evera always be a legend and a great bloke

[@trevormoses5061]

I am a Liverpool supporter but Sir Alex has major respect from me, largely because of what he did after the horrors of Hillsborough.

[@Oscarspoem]

Aw, yeah. It was an horrific time for everyone, expecially of course your club. So thank you so.much for posting your comment.

[@simplyballing1592]

Ferguson must of been a psychologist? The mind games he played

[@majackslelo827]

LEGEND!!!😃😃😁🫡🫡🫡🫡💯

[@fadzilhisham]

it was an honour for u patrice! 😅

[@BlueLeopard200]

That's some 3D reverse psychology - convincing the best performer he's playing crap in order to strike fear into the others and get a better performance. No wonder Fergie achieved so much. His man management was on another level.

[@jamesmarshall2479]

Pat you have to love him ⚽️⚽️

To all you man u supporters the great alex fergusons mentor was the immortal jock stein of glasgow celtic the first ever team from these shores to win the European cup. Watch footage of this man it was all psychology and getting the players to perform at 100%. Both legends of the game never to be forgotten 👏

Yeah this is brilliant this, get Eddie Hearn phased out into radio interviews and get Simon Jordan gradually into boxing promotion.

Modern players would have fainted, and asked for a transfer.

great as he was, Ferguson was and is a bully. and bullying sadly gets results sometimes. But there are awful casualties too.
