I don't even know what that's supposed to mean???
Good footballers play good under Ange

Here are his quotes:

“We were surprised, in Scotland we were very surprised that it took some time for it to be realised how impressive he actually is.

“It might not work completely for the rest of the season, however, you will enjoy watching it for the rest of the season.

“I will tell you lots of reasons why it worked.

“There are a lot of teams who play on the front foot but not like I'm a hipster ball. This is a different game, this is staggering to watch, it is stunning, it is exciting and it is always front-foot.

“It’s the simplest thing in the world, it does not matter who you are. See if you do not do it the way he wants you to do it you are out, full stop.

“He does not care about personalities. You look at the way he has got Bissouma on and suddenly he became an amazing player for him.

“It doesn’t matter your age, it doesn’t matter your name, it doesn’t matter anything about you.

“If you want to do it my way, if you want to keep working at it you are in the team and I don’t care who your name is and what your history is.

“Do you know what? Good footballers relate to that and react well to that.“

More comments from Nevin on Ange….

His preferred style was known as ‘I'm a hipster ball’ in Scotland and as everyone can now see, it is high-energy, high-octane football.

“That means the players must keep it going at that level, game after game, week after week”, Nevin told the BBC.

“This is harder in the Premier League than anywhere else.

“So far the team has been settled, with only one personnel change to the starting line-up in the last five games.

“But there will be injuries, suspensions, and form dips.

“Ange has to make sure the replacements are ready, able and, most importantly, willing to put in the same incredible effort as the current group.

“That will take extraordinary man management, but fortunately that is his other great skill, so he might just manage.”
