Manchester City Is Expected To Flourish Because Of Roberto Mancini

The world of football management is crazy and a born survivor like Roberto Mancini can survive with flourish, says Sir Alex Ferguson on the appointment of Mancini as the boss of Manchester City. Ferguson added that he thinks Mancini did a brilliant job. The long serving manager of Manchester United admits that he often makes remarks on the move of the other bosses of different teams and sometimes he has no answer why such things are done. Whatever, the fact is, it cannot be denied that the job of managing a football team is very difficult and the selection of Mancini as the top official of Man City seems to be a right move.
Mancini has adopted the challenges of the job with fearless authority and it will help him to serve as the boss of Manchester City for a longer period of time. This is definitely one of the best paid jobs and the money spent on the players and huge as well. This will definitely catch the attention of the best players. If the team of Manchester City keeps on winning, then there is no point that Mancini would like to leave the job. One of the biggest problems that the bosses of the teams face is the difficulties of handling the big players. Roberto is not bothered about handling the big players and he has been doing this for long period. In fact, handling the expectations of managing big team is another issue, but Mancini has showed over the years that he has proper decision-making ability and has strength of character.
It is evident with the 6-1 massive win of Manchester City in October at Old Trafford. Ferguson also praised Mancini for the understated celebration of the match when the entire nation got shockwaves.
Win, lose or draw, the pair will share a drink after the game, as they did following City’s emphatic 6-1 win at Old Trafford in October. Ferguson praised the fact that Mancini has the humility after winning. He wishes both of them to get together, have a drink, and share each other’s experiences.
Mancini was also not behind in praising Ferguson. He said that Manchester United’s 3-0 loss against Newcastle should not be taken as a downer. He added that it is not possible for a team to always register a win. A loss cannot break his reputation that he has built over the period of 25 years.

The ‘Rift’ between Rooney and Ferguson

The British sports press has recently published news about an ongoing rift between Sir Alex Ferguson and Wayne Rooney on multiple journals. While fans are apparently dejected about the way Rooney had recently been kept out of important matches with Valencia and Sunderland, Sir Ferguson explained that reasons were clear, and mainly revolved around an ankle injury that was bothering Rooney for a few weeks. Although there has been much hue and cry about the way Ferguson has been managing the Manchester United team, he said that what the press sees as an apparent rift, is very common in soccer.
The manager said that such news or concerns does not bother him, because there has been no foul play or partial behavior against the soccer legend. Ferguson’s clarifications led many to believe that it was only the long duration of Rooney’s injury that caused fans to create a bad impression about the proceedings. However, being kept out of the team was deemed necessary by coaches and Rooney’s advisors. These were plans to which Ferguson simply complied. Claiming to have made no mistake, Ferguson also said that talk about a ‘rift’ was far from bothering him.
Rooney’s comeback match is supposed to kick off against West Bromwich in early November 2011. Although Ferguson seemingly accepted his role in ruling out Rooney’s participation, he said it was an entirely a practical decision. It sent the message that Ferguson’s intelligence was valuable, and that his pragmatic thinking was not going to change just because fans wanted to see Rooney to get their money’s worth. While the decision raised many questions, a history of arguments between the two soccer celebrities might keep fans thinking there is more to it than the press reveals.
However, with Ferguson showing awareness about his errors in the Hargreaves announcement, the journalists saved most of their aggressive questions for another day. Experts believe that Rooney’s injury is no fairy tale scenario for Ferguson because the player has consistently contributed his efforts when they mattered the most. As a result, whatever rift seems to be there, is only coming from passionate speculation. Rooney’s participation in the match against West Bromwich will reveal most of the real story.
