Pre
Match Press Conference Highlights |
On
juggling his talented pool of Strikers.
“It is much more delicate handling the striking situation
now,” said Ferguson.
“In those days there was that northern European culture that
was easier to manage. There was a British mentality and
there was no problem dealing with it. “None of them
were happy when they didn’t play but they understood and it
wasn’t an issue.
“I sat Wayne down the other day and told him I had to find
out how Dimitar and Carlos played together. He understood
that. But I don’t think he would be too impressed if I left
him out of two or three games.
“However, I don’t think it is unmanageable.”
On Carlos
Tevez
“On Wednesday I wanted to see how the combination of
Berbatov and Tevez was together. But Carlos was so wound up
to do well himself that they became two different parts. “I
think they will be far better tomorrow - if I pick them.”
“Carlos was so keen to do well but he used up too much
energy,” reflected the Reds chief.
“But it is not a bad thing to try too hard.” |
