Bernd Holzenbein scored the goal in the second game that knocked us out of the competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned an important lesson when we played abroad. Some players went out after the game. After that, I made sure that something like that never happened again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ferguson, a proud Scotsman and former manager of the Scotland national team, is also relishing his country facing host nation Germany in the opening game of\u00a0Euro 2024\u00a0this summer.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if Germany has a chance of beating Scotland, Ferguson laughed: \u201cNo chance!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll watch the game live. I have to see it. Scotland isn\u2019t that bad, you know. They have good midfielders, two good full-backs. There have only been difficulties in the striker position in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Scottish fans will be fantastic too. In this regard, I will always remember the 1990 World Cup in Italy. During the group stage I was attending a Scotland game and I saw a big bus coming from Glasgow. They had removed the roof of the bus and were grilling on the double-decker bus. There was no way to get to the stadium without walking past the bus. Of course they saw me and shouted to me: \u2018Alex! Come on up, we have prepared a barbecue for you!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Scottish fans are fantastic. The great thing about them and Scottish life is the kilt. Every town in Scotland has its own and the same goes for every football club. Everyone wears it. I won\u2019t wear it at the European Championships, but I\u2019m looking forward to the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has become a lifetime member of Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.
