Fergie: I won't criticise players in public
4/11/05 11:09 AM
Sir Alex這次說了蠻多話的
主要我想是對當地進場的球迷說的
經歷了上週六難堪的聯賽失利和週三歐冠一球未進的輸球
Sir Alex重申他絕對不會在媒體面前批評球員
所有的檢討必須只在內部進行
他也請球迷們體諒年輕球員要承擔起前輩責任的壓力
並表示雖然我們現在狀況的確不好
但週日對上Chelsea其實是個給年輕球員們最好的機會
面對這種心理素質極強的球大隊伍
球員會學到在場上的每分每秒都不能犯錯 否則就會被懲罰
最後希望曼聯能重演打碎Arsenal連續49場不敗的神勇
提高水平面對藍軍!
Sir Alex Ferguson has refused to criticise his players in public
after a disappointing week that saw United lose 4-1 to Middlesbrough
and 1-0 to Lille.
The Reds have come in for fierce criticism from all directions
but the United boss insists he won’t be joining them.
On Sunday he will celebrate 19 years as manager at Old Trafford
and won’t be altering his stance of never speaking negatively
about his players.
"It’s not been any tougher than any other week where we have had
bad results,” he told reporters. “We’ve had difficult periods
over the years and you have to deal with it.
"Of course there is criticism and you have to deal with it.
Criticism comes from all directions at this club and what you have to do
as manager of this club is to make sure the criticism remains
inside our doors. I’m unremitting on that point, unequivocal.
My stance is there and I won’t change.
"You don’t criticise any Manchester United players outside the doors.
I’ve never done. I won’t."
United have been under the media microscope following two below-par
performances and defeats this week, certainly not ideal preparation
for Chelsea’s visit on Sunday.
"The criticism from the media is not a problem for me because we expect it,”
Sir Alex said. “What I have to look at is how the players
have been affected by it, particularly the younger players.
That is natural, we’re not different from anyone else in that respect."
The past seven days have been a learning curve like no other
for United’s young players, and Ferguson says there is a responsibility
among the supporters to recognise their affect on the fresher faced members
of his squad being asked to cover for more experienced campaigners.
"We have got to be careful with young players that the crowd
don’t have an influence in the sense of the player’s perception
of what people think of them," he explained.
"Over the years our supporters have had their favourites
and their not-so-favourites. I can make a great case in point;
Brian McClair was never a spectacular or stylish player,
but he was one of the best players this club has had
because he was a magnificent team player.
"Everyone has their assessment and opinion of players,
but what we can’t do is allow Manchester United players
to be demolished by criticism.
"The best way to react, without question, is to win the match.
Sunday is an opportunity because I think we have the ability win the game.
Maybe this is exactly what we need; the challenge of playing against
a very good team where you know that mistakes can be costly."
The Reds raised their game for the visit of Arsenal in October last year
when the Gunners came to Old Trafford on a 49-match unbeaten run.
Sir Alex is hoping for a similar response this around,
though he believes Jose Mourinho’s men are made of tougher stuff
than Arsene Wenger’s side.
"We stopped Arsenal on 49 games, we made sure of that.
There are some similarities, but I think Chelsea are made of sterner stuff.
They are a very powerful team and committed to defending.
It’s not going to be easy to beat them, but I think we can.
We need to start well and make them think for a bit.
I know we have the ability to do it.
"If we get a good start and the crowd really get going
then they’re a formidable lot our lads. I certainly don’t think
they will let the players down."
