Last week was sure to be the worst week since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge of Manchester United, but the Norwegian said he cherished the criticism he received and even enjoyed being scolded! A video shows that after the big victory, SoLsung joked to the fans on the sidelines: "When I'm done interviewing, you'll scold me again!"
After the board of directors chose to stay with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he led the team to a 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur to re-establish his Manchester United position. And, the 48-year-old Solskjaer insists that the scolding from critics only motivates him to keep going.
"Criticism can make you doubt yourself, or make you stand up, I've always enjoyed being scolded, come on, no problem!" 」 "Journalists, commentators, experts, we do our part, their job is to express their opinions," Solskjaer said. I'm not here to fight them, I don't need to argue with anybody."
After beating Tottenham Hotspur, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will continue to prove himself through the Champions League visit to Atalanta and the Premier League home to Manchester City's city derby. But he stressed not to think too far: "The next game is the most important thing, we try to maintain stability, we know that as long as we achieve stability, we can have good performances and results. A swallow doesn't mean a summer, it's important to focus on our next game and improve on what we didn't do well before."
Solskjaer added: "There is a game in three days, and it is another chance for Atalanta, and we can prove our strength again. At the moment, we are not thinking about Manchester City. Atalanta was also a tough game, the last time they were very close to a 3-1 lead, but thankfully David (De Gea) made a fantastic save."
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stressed that formation is not the key, and that it is most important for players to perform their duties well. He also told United's substitutes that there is no time to make you sullen at the giants. Pogba, Sancho, van der Beek, Martial and others may have been the ones he wanted to encourage.
'When you're in a place like Manchester United, we have so many good players and there's no time for anyone to be bored or not giving it all out.' Solskjaer explained, "If you're not in the starting line-up, you're there to support your teammates. If you're off the bench, do your best; if you can't play, then cheering up your teammates is the only thing you can do. The attitude of the players towards Tottenham was correct."
"Yes, I understand that players want to play and no one is happy if they can't play. But the morale of the team is really good and it has to be very good. We face a game where everyone can't just think about themselves, the team is more important than anyone else." Ole Gunnar Solskjaer went on to elaborate, "When United are healthy, there are always some good players who don't make it. This has been happening all along lately, some players have to settle down on the bench, in which case you have to take advantage of the opportunity as soon as you get it. I think the attitude and motivation of all the people in the team is beyond reproach. At Manchester United, that always happens. When the players don't play, they go through difficult periods, then their character is revealed and I'm happy with most of the players."
It is worth mentioning that after Manchester United's 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer not only directly sent the opposing coach Nuno Santo out of class, but also let the popular coach Conte, who had originally replaced him, come close to becoming the new coach of Tottenham Hotspur.
Commenting on the situation, Soshuai said: "It is not wonderful to see good people lose their jobs, Nuno (Santo) is very hard. I don't know the specifics, so I can't say more. But as a peer, this kind of thing is never going to be happy. I'll try to contact him and tell them how I feel."
