Park hails timeless Ferguson

Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-Sung has lavished praise on manager Sir Alex Ferguson for his ability to stay at the top of the game for 25 years.

Park has joined in with the long list of sentiments raining down on the Scottish tactician and stated that Ferguson’s knowledge of the game is unrivalled and that nobody can match his level of experience.

“He knows past and present things about football,” the former South Korea international told the club’s official website.

“He knows how things have changed in 25 years and he’s able to keep a high quality of football, so that’s why he’s enjoying it.”

“Nobody can have that kind of experience. Some people might have five or 10 years in a job; he’s got 25 years here so he knows how things have changed and he can succeed in the future as well.”

Park added: “It’s something that only he’s got.”

The 30-year-old also believes that Ferguson’s man-management ability is what sets him apart from other managers and is always one of the main reason why he been so successful over the years.

“He knows how to encourage the players and use the players,” Park said.

“Managers now don’t just use 11 players, they have to care about all the squad of 25 or more players.”

“He can’t make everyone happy because only 11 players play, but the other players have to give 100 percent of themselves for the club, and he can make them do that. That’s a great ability of his.”
