When you are a star in a football team and you deserve to be one, of course, from time to time you will have special treatment from the manager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville when we used to train, they trained a bit differently so they could save themselves for the games, and there is nothing wrong with that. This is normal in football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re a great football player, sometimes the manager is going to give you more special attention. As long as you help the team win the game, this is normal in football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSir Alex [Ferguson] was very good at making a point to speak to everyone individually, so you didn\u2019t feel left out. Even if you did not play he would know how to speak with you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo it was the same with Cristiano Ronaldo, and in the end, we saw the results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
