Scholes: Ferguson once rushed to the back of the bus and scolded the players who were yelling in the game
A few days ago, Scholes broke the news on a podcast program that Ferguson suddenly rushed to the back of the bus and sternly scolded the players who played video games too noisy. At the beginning of the show, McGuinness mentions the story Rooney tells. Rooney claimed that his team’s great success during his time was partly due to the revolutionary friendship the players built while playing video games on the bus.
Ferdinand, O'Shea and Wes Brown will participate in the "SOCOM" game on the PSP console. Despite Rooney's claim, these game segments are not favored by Ferguson, who is famous for his iron-fisted military management.
When asked about Rooney's statement, Scholes explained: "I didn't play those games, but more of the young players on the team were playing. PSP and SOCOM, I could hear them all shouting in the back row of the bus. It was like some kind of shooting game or war game. All you could hear was this, it was so annoying to him."
McGuinness interrupted and said that the buses that were round-trip games were usually where players played cards rather than games. Scholes said: "I do remember Ferguson rushed to the back row of the bus and said, 'Shut up.' Because they were all shouting at each other. 'We are going to play in the away game, what are your brains?'"
But Scholes admitted that team games may also be beneficial: "Sometimes it's actually quite interesting. They compete with each other in the back row, which can really cultivate some team spirit, and this is also a team game."
Rooney once revealed that playing online shooting games can help promote communication between teammates.
Rooney said: "I really think one of the reasons we succeed is playing PSP, which allows us to communicate more, and we play on planes and on team buses."
Usually it is me, Ferdinand, Carrick, O'Shea and Wes Brown. You have to communicate, you have to be properly tactical, and someone has to be 'resurrect' them after being 'slaughtered'. This is an important part of our success, and asking those players know that it's great. ”
