"Ferguson knew where to act, when to apply disciplined pressure."

"In my first season on the team, we were the leader in the Premier League with 15 points. We were hosting Manchester City on our field and we wanted to keep the championship safe by winning. If we had won we would have made 18 points difference but we lost. Still, there were 12 points difference and most coaches would not dramatize such a situation. "

"On the other hand, Ferguson freaked out. It was officially flamed. After Manchester City defeat, two players from the team went out to enjoy the night. We can't be because he's going to have fun. ' said."

"I can't give you their names. Hodja scolded them badly, but this incident didn't come out of the locker room. It was an amazing thing."

"A lot of people's photos were hanging on the wall. We saw what the children going to have fun doing hour by hour. Ferguson seemed to want to emphasize their stupidity."

"It's not over here either, he warned us all: 'Guys, listen to me well. If we're not champions, these two are because he wants to go out and have fun. From now on, if I see someone go out without lifting the cup, I'll leave that name out of the squad. Who are you, how many cups you've ever won? If you go before the season is over, you will leave the team and I will send you to another team. ' "It was brutal."

"After this talk, we got up to training, it was the two most challenging exercises in my life. We were 12 points ahead and this was Ferguson's reaction."

"It was ideal to laugh and play at the time of the season, and Sir Alex Ferguson did not miss this opportunity!"
