🚨🇫🇷🗣 Patrice Evra reveals the difference between Sir Alex Ferguson and modern managers:
“During nine years, Ferguson never told me anything tactical like ‘go left’, ‘close the right’, or things like that.
José Mourinho will probably talk more about tactics than Ferguson, but I don’t understand how Ferguson was so successful with that style of management.
He knew how to bring the best out of people.
We played with fear. I was never scared of Sir Alex Ferguson, but I was always scared of disappointing him.
When Arsène Wenger was losing at half-time, he would say: ‘Come on my friend, we can do better than that.’
Ferguson was different. He was like: ‘Stop playing with my money, man. You don’t want me to end your contract, do you?’
I always tell people, if Ferguson was coaching today, he would probably end up in jail.” 😅

🇩🇪🇦🇷🇪🇬 | Toni Kroos destruyó las conspiraciones de los fracasados que aseguran que Argentina le robó a Egipto en el Mundial:
"No entiendo por qué la gente siempre busca excusas después de un resultado como este. El fútbol se decide en 90 minutos, no por un solo momento. Egipto jugó una primera mitad excelente, pero, después de ponerse 2–0, perdió el control del partido y Argentina aprovechó. Eso es lo que hacen los equipos de élite.
"La gente sigue hablando del árbitro y del VAR, pero, si ves el partido de manera objetiva, la remontada de Argentina se construyó sobre su intensidad, calidad y mentalidad. Creyeron hasta el pitido final, mientras que Egipto no pudo mantener el mismo nivel que mostró al principio.
"No podés tirar por la borda una ventaja de dos goles contra uno de los mejores equipos del mundo y luego reducirlo todo a una sola decisión. El fútbol es mucho más complejo que eso.
"Siempre habrá debates sobre el arbitraje, y eso es normal. Pero decir que el partido fue 'robado' o que el torneo se está regalando a Argentina es injusto para todos los jugadores en el campo. Los jugadores deciden los partidos con sus actuaciones, no con teorías conspirativas.
"Lo difícil, después de una derrota, es aceptar que el rival fue mejor en los momentos decisivos. Argentina merece crédito por la forma en que respondió bajo presión, y Egipto debería estar orgulloso de su actuación mientras también aprende de los errores que le costaron caro. Eso es el fútbol".
Argentina had won two World Cup (in 1978 and 1986) before Messi's debut, and had won about 14 Copa America titles. It took the national almost 40 years to win another trophy, fourty good years in 2022. Now despite all Messi's accomplishments since his debut, that is, 35 titles in 17 seasons, Messi also won his first major international title in 2021 which was the Copa America, taking 16 years into his career, and almost 17 years to add the World Cup trophy to his collection.
Now during his years of Int'l trophy drought he was heavily criticized even by Argentines, especially after missing the crucial PK in 2016.
Messi lost four international finals back to back, almost quit the team, and had to struggle to win his first Copa America and World Cup, but all of a sudden it was rigged for him? Be serious.
▫️Messi lost a World Cup final: A fraud
▫️Mbappe lost a World Cup final: He gave his all
Ronaldo never made it to a final: He doesn’t need to prove anything. 😭
