Rafael On 'Lovely' Manchester United Boss Ferguson
-
United starlet Rafael insists that boss Fergie and superstar team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo are nothing like ther public images suggest.
Speaking to The Sun, Rafael gushed: "Sir Alex Ferguson is like a father for me. Off the pitch, he is a great and lovely man.
"He knows perfectly how to deal with youngsters and when to bring them into the first team. He doesn’t talk much, but when he talks he says only right things.
"He knows when he needs to be supportive and explain ‘look, you can’t do that now’.
"However, he also knows how to be really tough when the team is not playing well."
If Fergie is the father figure, then fellow Portuguese-speaker Cristiano Ronaldo is playing the role of big brother as far as breakthrough star Rafael is concerned.
He continued: "Ronaldo is a sensational person: very humble and he jokes with us all the time. He's not like his superstar persona."
Asked how he's adapting to the rough and tumble of English football, Rafael enthused: "English football is the best right now.
"I’ve always enjoyed physical football, because I am fast, I like to run, I like to pass the ball quickly and I hate losing.
"Therefore, it was easy to adapt." -
Really impressed by his performance lately but his brother Fabio still in treatment haiya... -
I was quite happy with Neville finally playing like his old self again yesterday with a couple of runs forward and still able to do a good job in defence.
If he continues like that, he might be able to keep Rafael out of the team.
