Andy Cole: Missing Manchester United locker room Ferguson s criticism inspired me to grow

News: In an interview, former Manchester United forward legend Andy Cole recalled his glorious years at Old Trafford, praised the atmosphere in the Manchester United locker room, and said bluntly that Sir Ferguson's harsh criticism was the driving force for his continuous progress.

Kele made great achievements in his six years at Manchester United from 1995 to 2001, helping the team win five Premier League championships, two FA Cup championships and an extraordinary UEFA Champions League championship in 1999, writing a brilliant chapter in Manchester United's history. Speaking of Manchester United locker room, Kerr was full of attachment: "I really love that locker room environment. I am a strong and independent person. I don't mind the severe rebukes of others. After all, my father has been strict with me since I was a child, and I have long been used to it. When playing under Sir Ferguson, my teammates reminded me, 'Don't make mistakes five minutes before the end of the first half or five minutes before the end of the game, because this will be the only thing Sir Ferguson will remember'. It is true that if he makes a mistake, he will get angry, but he does this not aim at individuals, but purely to stimulate the maximum potential of each of us, which reflects his excellence as a top coach."

Kele scored a total of 121 goals in Manchester United's 275 appearances, and is still fourth in the Premier League's historical scorer list. Looking back on my first experience in Manchester United, Kerr was filled with emotion: "Before transferring to Old Trafford, I didn't realize that Manchester United was such a great club. Two years ago, I was still in the Bristol City in the English League Two and could only look up at Manchester United in front of the TV; two years later, I was lucky enough to play side by side with those stars. Everyone thought I was an experienced veteran in the Premier League, but in fact I only played for one and a half seasons. When I first joined Manchester United, everyone stared at me, as if saying 'You must perform well immediately'."

When I was at Manchester United, Ferguson's teaching and the atmosphere in the locker room have become the most valuable assets in Andy Kerr's career, and it also made him deeply realize that Manchester United's greatness lies not only in honor, but also in its unique team culture and spirit of pursuit of excellence.
