I remember watching the replay of 1999 UCL finals between Manchester united and Bayern Munich around 2008, and i was asking myself if this was the match they said man united won. I couldn't believe it was the finals and thought it was a group stage or something but the commentator kept saying UCL finals which reassured my believe but i was still very much in doubt because Bayern Munich were all over and couldn't remember man united creating any decent chance. Somehow, Sir Alex Ferguson did the unthinkable in the added minutes of 90mins to bring in two players who later scored both goals to clinch the title and this has been the Hallmark of Sir Alex Ferguson's beautiful managerial career. Reading the game and making substitution that instantly changes the game. Man united fans are almost guaranteed an instant impact once SAF makes game changing substitution. It is common to see players from the bench coming on to decide the game either through goals or assists during Ferguson's reign as Manchester united coach. But this doesn't make special according one idiot who rate Tuchel has the best thing after slice bread.

Scholes and Keane were suspended for that final. United did not have central midfield apart from those two and Nicky Butt

So the whole midfield was disjointed for that final as they brought Beckham (who didn't know what he was doing in CM) to CM. On top of that, they had to switch Giggs to RW to replace Beckham there while bringing in Jesper Blomqvist to LW, who also didn't know what he was doing.

The midfield was a complete shambles. It was a miracle that Bayern did not kill that game 3-0 before halftime, Effenberg, Jeremies and Basler had complete dominance. Pure luck smiled on Utd that day. I remember my little bro waving his fist in my face when United scored those late goals, e pain me wella, I nearly beat him. The werey still switched to Arsenal halfway through the next season to join Kanu train and has been in sifia pains since.

How many goals did Mings Guehi and Adarabioyo team concede as compared to Thiago Silva?


By the way,till KDB wins the UCL on the pitch,pls don't mention him close Mason Mount.

What was the league position of the defence led by Guehi Adarabioyo and Mings?

Chelsea kept more clean sheets and conceded less when Thiago Silva was benched. He has always been a liability all his life

I feel none of Guehi Adarabioyo nor Mings will throw away a 4-0 first leg lead like Silva did

SAF defeated Juventus with World best player zidane and other world class players like Del piero,inzaghi etc. Defeated Barcelona with Rivaldo,kluvert and other world class players at Barcelona but somehow this man is not special according to one fool that says Tuchel is special and has been looking for nairaland block button.


SAF is one coach you can't be leading him 2- 0 at 80mins and be rest assured of winning but someone who rates Tuchel who can't even overturn a single goal deficit thinks SAF isn't special.



I hate man united and everything that concerns them,but to deny the speciality of Sir Alex Ferguson is what i will not take lightly from anyone most especially the one who rate Tuchel very high. It was too impossible for SAF to coach us, i would have wished him to coach Chelsea ahead of pep guardiola.

All these na capping you watched Ferguson recorded we watched him live and he wasn't special at all

If he was he would have won more than 2 CL titles with a team he created and had complete control over for almost 2 decades

It is the usual British washing that is making Ferguson look better than he is. He got lucky in that 1999 cos he was outplayed throughout

One day a kid today will watch highlights and say Mancini winning the Agueroooo epl means he was great and you can never write off a team coached by Mancini based on recording he watched

Ottmar Hitzfeld the Bayern coach on that 1999 night was a better coach by far

It's the same way they tried to sell it as if all those Man utd players of that generation were greats

In 1997 Ottmar Hitzfeld coached Dortmund to beat Ferguson home and away in the CL semi where was this Ferguson magic to turn it around? Before Hitzfeld led Dortmund to beat star studded Juve in the final with Lars Ricken a 17yr old writing Waec putting the final nail in Juve coffin

In 2001 again Hitzfeld now coaching Bayern met Ferguson in the quarter final and beat Ferguson home and away where was the juju then to make Ferguson turn the results?

Where was the Ferguson miracle when Monaco was eliminating him from the CL in 1998, or in 2000 when under strength Madrid was beating him at Old Trafford or in 2002 when Toppmoller was using unfancied Leverkusen to eliminate Ferguson
Or in 2003 when Madrid and Ronaldo was scoring hat trick at Old Trafford
Or in 2004 when Benni McCarthy and Costinha with Porto were eliminating Ferguson
Or in 2005 when I think he crashed home and away to Crespo AC Milan

Or in 2006 when he finished last in a group of Villarreal Benfica and Osaze Lille?

Abi na 2007 wey Kaka and geriatric AC Milan dey beat am like snake

All these before Pep Guardiola came in 09 to flog him in Rome with Yaya Toure playing in Central defence

Before LVG took a mediocre Bayern to eliminate Ferguson in 2010

Guardiola did the 2nd round nacking on Ferguson in 2011 at Wembley in what he said was his worst loss

Truth be told outside EPL Ferguson was slightly above average for the stability and longevity he had as manager of one of the richest team of his time he massively underachieved

The treble they used to hype him for. 5 other teams have done it

He is the Thierry Henry of coaches or a slightly better version.
Undisputed champion in epl, average to poor in CL

All these whitewashing can only fly with those new to football.

When I say some of us have forgotten more football than you can remember this is an example

Ibime:


Scholes and Keane were suspended for that final. United did not have central midfield apart from those two and Nicky Butt

Bayern went into the final having lost Lizarazu our left back and our top scorer Elber. Lizarazu was replaced by mid tier Tarnat who was partly responsible for the equalizer for not clearing the ball properly after the corner kick
If Elber was on the field instead of Carsten Jancker the game would be over in the first half.

Jancker would be like the Wout Werghost of this time

Despite that Bayern struck the post 2 times in regulation time From Effenberg and Scholl. The 2nd time we hit the bar. I started having bad omen about the game. After the Man utd equalizer I left the TV in anger cos that's the most undeserved goal ever in such circumstance
How the game remained 1-0 till 70min was a shock to even . The game was so one sided for majority of it that Lennart Johanson got bored and wanted to decorate the trophy in Bayern color before end of regulation time

Ferguson was outclassed on the night and Hitzfeld showed him who was boss. Kuffuor marked out Cole and Yorke

Ferguson played Hitzfeld several times and that was the only game He won vs Hitzfeld which was won in the 93rd minute

It would be similar to saying DiMatteo is a top top shelf coach because he bested Pep and Juup in extremely lucky circumstances to win. When Messi and Robben were missing crucial penalties.
Ferguson got lucky in that 99 final like Dimatteo in 2012

Play that 1999 final 10 times Ferguson would be lucky to win 1 time

Same way play 2012 CL semi and final all over 10 times and see whether Messi and Robben will miss penalties or Dimatteo will survive that onslaught without conceding

The proof of Ferguson luck that night was that he played Hitzfeld multiple times and that was the only time he won, every other knockout series vs Hitzfeld na home and away drubbing Ferguson dey chop

With the way i dey vex for the 1999 lucky fluke, I was even hoping Hitzfeld would run up the scores vs Ferguson in 2001 but Hitzfeld just relaxed after he went up 3-1 aggregates and just conserved energy for the semi final

Other finals wey vex me like that was 2012 CL final where one of the Chelsea fans started sleeping and when Muller scored he left the game cos he saw no way back

Also Euro 2000 final where Delpiero was wasting chances upon chances served until mediocre Wiltord scored

Something similar happened to some of my childhood friends too

While I was supporting Bayern. All of us usually support teams that Nigerians play for. I supported Ajax in 95 with all my friends. I wasn't sad that Ajax flogged Bayern in the semi especially after seeing that Finidi nasal shot

One of my friends supported Chelsea I guessed because of Babayaro and when Cele lost his starting shirt he vex and moved to Arsenal and he's stuck with Arsenal now, he can't change again cos day don break for am and many people now know him.with Arsenal. But na we teenage friends know say na ex Chelsea fan

Another friend followed Kanu and started supporting Inter. I will support Juve, We go rent VHS of Juve vs Inter and other top games, watch several times. We now started argument of who was better Ronaldo or Zidane. He chose Ronaldo I chose Zidane and we will start micro analyzing every move they made throughout the game. We will pause and rewind. Dem no born Ronaldo well to do this move, he will do his own turn too, dem no born Zidane well to do this move. Those times Zidane was the master of the 360 turn and split long range passes while Ronaldo was the master of stepover and snake bite at speed. We go Waka for street dey ask everyone who was better Zidane or Ronaldo and Nigerians being lovers of dribble majority supported Ronaldo

That my Inter friend got disappointed many times and started supporting Liverpool around 2001. I laugh am say na Diouf carry am go Liverpool even Diouf sef no come hit like that. He stuck with Liverpool till date. After Benitez before Klopp he almost lost interest in football

Just like my Milan supporting friend wey go dey lament say dem no get money, this season wey small luck shine on am, come begin dey worry me say he dey find Bayern to play.

I just remembered another one started supporting Everton because of Amokachi and when we dey laugh am, he go say in Yoruba Ibadan accent which made us laugh "Were ni Joe Royol(his own pronunciation of Joe Royle Everton coach), ko mo Amokachi lo ni, konipe lo si Barka"
Meaning Joe Royle is a mad man he no sabi use Amokachi, he will soon go to Barka

Amokachi once gave an interview that he would love to play for Barcelona even for free after he saw Nou camp
That my guy nursed the dream say Amokachi will one day play for Barcelona. Not knowing say na Amunike and Okunowo go wear Barca jersey before Amokachi

Courtois have no business here ahead of Andre onana ,onana kept more clean sheets than courtois ,still made about 45 saves which is more than all GK at the tournament

Android17:
Please don't do this to SAF. He won the Cup winner's cup which is at the same level as the Conference league. And if you claim he beat Real Madrid, that should tell you how poor Real Madrid were at the time to be in the Cup Winner's Cup.

I respect SAF so you people should not bring him into this. He does not deserve it.

Nigga what the hell are you waffling about? Cup winners cup were for those who won their domestic cup competition. What the mess do you mean Madrid were poor to be in the Competition.

You realize all these can done for Pep right?


Your greatest coach got eliminated by small teams like Monaco, Tottenham, Lyon with City. Got disgraced conceding 3 and 4 goals to Liverpool, Madrid and Barcelona with Bayern and City respectively. Flopped against Chelsea with ten men at Camp Nou. Just last season here he bottled it against Madrid with 2 minutes to go yet all those doesn't take away from his reputation as a great coach. Try making a reputable point not all these comical things you are bringing up.

If Pep had the stability of Ferguson to coach a top team uninterrupted for 20yrs and win we can say that

Pep and Ferguson the gorse has left the stable

3 CL vs 2 CL
Plus flogging Ferguson mercilessly everytime

Pep has already surpassed Ferguson

Pep is the greatest coach of all time
3CL titles 11 league titles

When you have Pep finishing last in the group stage to teams in the caliber of Villarreal Benfica and Lille

We will start

Truth is outside of EPL there is nothing special about Ferguson, it's only the English media hype

At his prime he was getting bitchslapped regularly

Ferguson made how many CL semi? Now let's compare that to Pep who has made 11 CL semis in 14 seasons

Mr man Pep has been getting bitch slapped in the champions league for over 10years he came out and proclaimed how difficult winning the champions league is. Talking about greatest coach how is Pep greater than someone like Del Bosque since you like comical arguments.
