Ferdinand on Moyes: The Best Quotes
• "On our pre-season tour he told me and a couple of others that he
wanted us to play a narrow 4—2—2—2 with the wide players coming inside.
I remember thinking: 'Have you not read up on this club's history? This
club was built on wingers. It only goes back about 100 years! Cristiano
Ronaldo, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Steve Coppell, Willie Morgan,
George Best... that's quite a tradition."
• On a video session with Moyes: "Me and Vida [Nemanja Vidié] came out
of there and looked at each other. 'I don't know what the f*** he just asked
us to do,' I said."
• mie whole approach was alien. Other times Moyes wanted lots of
passing. He'd say: 'Today I want us to have 600 passes in the game. Last
week it was only 400.' Who cares? I'd rather score five goals from ten
passes!"
• "On the morning of a game we'd spend half an hour on the training
ground, drilling to stop [opponents[. There was so much attention to the
subject it suddenly became a worry — they must be fucking good at this to
have us spend all this time on it."
mie mixed messages were even worse. Sometimes he'd say, 'I want you
to pass the ball.' Other days it was: 'I don't want you to pass the ball.' What
the fuck do you want us to do, man?"
