Manchester United FC

Last night, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 30th goal of the season, and Manchester is in the quarters of the Champions League.

Inspite of that, United didn’t provide some great football, but we got to understand that nice football can’t be played if the opponent doesn’t allow that.

The game was mostly played at the centre of the field.  We can’t say that it was a spectacular game, with many opportunities for both sides.  Infact, and I don’t want to upset anyone, there probably were a couple of balls that went out of the stadium and broke some windows…Of course I’m exaggerating a bit, now let’s be serious again.

The fact is that United played a smart game, and the word that could characterize them the best would be: pragmatism.

All the players had this attribute, but maybe Fletcher had it the most, and Ferguson knew that.  That’s probably why Scholes was left on the bench.

Also, Carrick is becoming more and more indispensable to the team.

Everyone would have been a lot happier with 2 or 3-0, but a win is a win, and we got a place reserved in the quarter finals of the most important club competition in the world.

Manchester is now just two opponents away from the final which will take place in Moscow.

Manchester used this team:
Van der Sar, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson (Tevez 70), Ronaldo (Hargreaves 90), Rooney, Nani.
