Stop the strops City if you want against Man U: Ferdinand
April 14th, 2011 - 5:37 pm ICT by ANI
London, Apr.14 (ANI): Rio Ferdinand has said there are no sulks, cliques, or disrespect shown to Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, which is why they have the spirit to win.
The same cannot be said of Manchester City this season.
The deadly foes face each other this Saturday in an FA Cup semi-final in very different moods and form, the Sun reports.
Ferdinand, 32, said: “You don’t see people coming off shaking their heads or being disgruntled or sitting on the bench in a sulk at this club because everyone is delighted to be at this club.
“The moment you show a little bit of dissent like that, the manager isn’t happy and he pulls rank, and rightly so. He keeps people on their toes,” he added.
He said: “People want to play here. You want to be here. You don’t want to be part of any other squad and that’s the way it is. It’s just a respect for the club, the manager and the people who were here before you. It’s an unwritten rule.” (ANI)
