Mackay: Wants talkers on the pitch
Malky Mackay wants his Cardiff City players to be more vocal on the pitch and develop leadership qualities.
The Bluebirds boss believes that natural leaders are a rare commodity in the modern game and is looking for a number of his players to assume that role.
"Nowadays it's getting harder and harder to find players who talk on the pitch. Real talkers," he told Wales Online.
"I don't know if it's because of society and the way youngsters are this generation. The way they have been brought up.
"If in the modern game you are a commander, someone who issues a lot of orders, you can have a career on that alone. People like that are worth their weight in gold.
"I do like it in training when they are at each other. If standards slip it's them onto each other. It's like giving the players self-ownership."
