[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Former Manchester United (Man Utd) player Ryan Giggs spoke about Park Ji-sung's performance.
On the 25th (Korean time), Giggs mentioned the differences between managers Alex Ferguson and Van Gaal through the official Manchester United website.
He described Van Gaal as "He came from the Netherlands," adding, "We had to have many meetings, and the players sometimes felt there were too many."
Regarding Ferguson, he said, "I have been with him since I was 13. Despite having management, discipline, standards, tactics, and everything else, there were great players who had been with him for a long time, so we just played the matches. One meeting was enough for us," adding, "Alex Ferguson had everything."
In particular, he said, "For example, Park Ji-sung marking Pirlo is a good example. Park Ji-sung executed it fantastically."
Park Ji-sung had previously shut down Pirlo in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match against AC Milan in 2010.
He also added, "Both Ferguson and Van Gaal valued discipline and gave trust to young players," saying, "I learned a lot from both of them."
