유나티이드의 감독인 Alex Ferguson을 존경한다고 합니다. 그러나 스코틀랜드 악센트가 강한 Ferguson 감독의 말을 이해하지 못하겠다는 공격을 하였습니다.
심리전이라는 것은 알겠는데요...
그런데 어떻게 제라드의 지독한 리버풀 스타일의 영어는 알아듣는지 모르겠습니다. 역시 Rafa는 대단한 마법사인거 같습니다.
'Mind games are for managers who are affected by mind games, but I don't understand him - because he talks in a Scottish accent,' said Benitez, who was taunted by Ferguson beforehand for talking too much about his rivals.
"I respect Alex Ferguson. He is a great manager, but I have to defend my club. Sometimes my English is not good enough but I do not understand the Scottish accent."
Rafa Benitez after Fergie dismissed the Spaniard's infamous rant earlier this season, on the eve of Saturday's clash.
Current players, staff and United legends were queuing up to pay tribute to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in his testimonial programme. Here are just a taster of some of the comments...
"The
first training session we did with Ole was a shooting session and he
was just unbelievable. I remember going home that day and telling my
mates we’d just signed the new Alan Shearer." Ryan Giggs
"Ole
was one of the best strikers this club has had. A clever player with
two good feet, he always had a great ability to find space and, of
course, a great ability in front of goal." Eric Cantona
"I
want to say thank you to Ole for what he’s done for me as a player and
a person and for allowing me to be part of history. 1999 was a year in
which we made history, both as a team and as friends." David Beckham
"Ole's
a good lad and I’ve always had a lot of admiration for him. He’s always
friendly and positive, even when he wasn't always playing. He never
sulked – he made sure that when he got a chance he made an impact." Rio Ferdinand
"I sat next to Ole in the changing room for many years – I must have annoyed him a lot! He’s such a fantastic person and he deserves all the success and adulation that he gets." Gary Neville
“Ole
loved every minute of every training session and game that he played
for United. He threw himself into the club and it’s no surprise that
he’s still involved now. He’s lived Manchester United." Phil Neville
"Ole
was very clever on the pitch and his finishing in training was just
brilliant. It helped me when I was coming into the team, seeing his
composure in front of goal." Wayne Rooney
“Nobody
has a bad word to say about Ole. He was a consummate professional and
brilliant player who scored some vital goals for us in his time at Old
Trafford. He understands what Manchester United is all about and is a
great advocate for the club." David Gill, Chief Executive
"In
a one-on-one situation I’ve not seen many better and I’m very grateful
to Ole for all the important goals he scored over the years - he’ll
always be remembered for that by every United fan." Sir Bobby Charlton
"When
we started training together the thing that I noticed was that Ole was
always in the right place and made scoring goals look so easy." Raimond van der Gouw
“The reasons behind Ole’s success as a player will make him succeed in
management – he’s very determined, focused and has a great ability to
learn." Rene Meulensteen, Technical Skills Development coach
"A
nicer young man you would be pushed to find. It’s great to see the club
have made him an ambassador as well as a coach and shows the esteem in
which he is held." Denis Law
"The qualities
Ole has brought United as a player continue to shine now and he fits in
with Sir Alex’s plan of keeping people at the club who know and
understand the culture and ethos of United." Ken Ramsden, Club secretary
"I’m
extremely proud of the career Ole went on to have with United, he’s a
person I’m very fond of and is an ideal professional in the way he acts
and the way he trained." Age Hareide, Norway coach and former Molde manager
