Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson says trying to speak to every single one of his players every day has helped him succeed in football management.
And he said having close relationships with his players has been key.
"You can't get away from the fact that an important aspect is you need to speak to players," Hodgson said.
The 73-year-old, who has been Palace manger since 2017, began his managerial career 45 years ago with Swedish side Halmstads.
He has managed 16 clubs in eight countries, including Liverpool, Inter Milan (twice) and Udinese, as well as the Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and Finland national sides.
