Phil Jones: Ferguson could read every player and make the right call every time

Hupu November 02 News Recently, former Manchester United defender Phil Jones talked about his views on Sir Alex Ferguson in an interview with BetMGM. Jones said that the key to Ferguson becoming a legend lies in a core ability, and if current Manchester United coach Amorin can master this ability, he can maintain the team's good condition for a long time.

Phil Jones said: "I have always said that the best thing about Sir Alex Ferguson is that he can determine the team's lineup and plan four weeks in advance. I remember once I injured my ankle, about three weeks before a game, and he came to me and said: 'Get ready for the away game against Wigan. That game is very crucial, we have to win, you will play at right back.' "

"At that time, I thought: 'Forget it, I won't be able to play. I'm still recovering from my injury and I haven't even stepped on the grass. ' But guess what? On the day of the game, I really started as a right back. More importantly, he knows how to treat every player."

" People are always discussing the coach's tactical abilities - such as formation layout, full-back inward rotation, No. 10 player rotation, etc. These tactics are indeed very sophisticated, but Sir Alex Ferguson's advantage goes far beyond that. "

"What Ferguson is really good at is that he can read every player, know when and how to communicate with the players, and he can make accurate decisions every time. Because of this, the players were willing to do their best for him, even through fire and water. "

"We once played against Athletic Bilbao, which was De Gea's first season with Manchester United. Although De Gea was very good later, he was not in good condition when he first joined the team - as a goalkeeper, almost every mistake he made would result in a goal.

"We were leading 1-0 in that home game. In the last 10 minutes of the game, I passed a pass back to De Gea. When he was about to make a clearance, the ball fell directly to the feet of the opponent's No. 9 player, and the opponent took the opportunity to score and equalize the score."

"At the time, I didn't feel that I was responsible for the goal at all, but obviously, everyone on the team is responsible for the goal. After the game, Sir Alex Ferguson He criticized me severely and said that my back pass was too strong and it was difficult for De Gea to handle. Only now did I understand that he was actually protecting De Gea. "This goes back to the point of 'understanding the players' - Ferguson knows that I can accept such criticism and then participate in training normally the next day. But if it were anyone else, his mentality would collapse."
