Pre Match Press
Conference Highlights |
|
 |
from Inside United
magazine
“The role of the manager is to make sure the players
are on the edge of their game all the time,”.
“They’re human beings, individuals, and not every
player is the same.
Some players are self-motivated and can do that job
themselves; others need it, some depend on it.
Players are different species, they have a different
way of operating and as a manager you have to
recognise that and approach it on a case-by-case
basis.” |
