Alex Ferguson is remembered by all as a legendary coach after winning 13 championships with Manchester United and two Champions Leagues, undoubtedly creating an unforgettable dynasty. But members of those teams remember that the Scot's work worked because things were different at that time, because his strong character would not work today.
Patrice Evra, one of the last names in the winning cycle, told the 'SDS Podcast' some stories from that period. "If Ferguson was managing now, he would probably end up in prison! There's no way you'd stay out of prison with the things he did... Do you know how many players I've seen crying after his outbursts or throwing shoes at them?" he said.
Evra then recalled a moment in a match against Liverpool at the home of their historic rivals, when Nani was badly fouled and left crying on the pitch. He recalled how Scholes had initially gone off insulting his teammate, before Ferguson himself addressed him. “I hope your leg is broken, because a United player can’t cry at Anfield,” were the words of the manager, according to Evra, who explained that after that match, all the other players treated Nani very badly.
"After that game we were waiting for training to kill Nani. That's how I explain how bad we were. If you cried because you were bleeding, you were finished. You were no longer part of us. In the end, Ferguson gave him a week off to recover, because we were waiting to kill him. We still use the picture of Nani crying in the United Whatsapp group.
"We were bad people. I want to apologize to all the young people who came to train with us. We were all animals," said Evra.
