I think you can do a few things and one of them is not to play every match as you try to find form again and get confidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA coach could play him in easier games, not that there are many in the Premier League, and take him out for harder matches. The player needs to feel powerful and strong on the pitch again, not as it\u2019s now where he feels that it is not happening for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is difficult to play well when you are under so much pressure because people are waiting for you to make a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not a problem if a player says to his coach that he\u2019s not feeling great on the pitch,\u201d Vidic added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he says: \u2018Give me a break, give me a couple of weeks to regroup and train well and then play again.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had some horrible games for United and needed to find my peace and grow again.\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.
