Hi All,
Man United stepped up and came closer to lifting the premiere league title after defeating Man City 2-0. Thanks to traditional Ronaldo freekick and Tevez's stunner in the first half. Man United were 2 ahead in the first half and City players were not able to decrease the deficit even after full time. United were not very good yesterday, but needless to say, they were substantial enough in beating their arch-rivals and winning the derby clash easily. Sir Alex Ferguson said, "We didn't play good, but durby matches are that way only."
This match was very crucial for United. City started well with positive bent of mind. United slowly started controlling the Midfield. Ronaldo got a freekick 20 yards from City goal, when Berbatov were challenged by City midfielder Ireland. Although he might have touched the ball a little, but it looked a certain foul from the angle where the referee was standing. Ronaldo took the freekick, got a little deflection from City defender, and the ball rushed inside the post. Even though City keeper Given had managed to get a hand on the ball, he couldn't stop the pace generated by Ronaldo in the shot. Helpless Given. 18th Minute stunner by Ronaldo.
United stormed into number of chances after that. Tevez was passed a ball by Berbatov and Tevez striked the ball brilliantly. But the ball hit the post and went to a Goal Kick. Bad luck for Tevez, he was desperate to have a Goal yesterday. The same situation again appeared when Berbatov gets the ball outside city penalty area and passed the unmarked Tevez. Tevez again took his shot with massive power and the ball again hit the post. Guess what, this time ball went the other way and Tevez scored the goal in 45th minute. Tevez was full of joy after scoring, he put his both hands on his ears as if he wants to push the fans to shout more loudly and cheer for him with more enthusiasm. Boy, he was happy. He is certainly a fan boost for Man United. If he leaves, United will loose a fantastic player. A player, who can turn the match with his exceptional capabilities. Berbatov too, played well and showed some skills on the pitch. Even though he is good, I feel him responsible for Tevez's exit so cannot really enjoy watching him.
2nd Half was dominated by City most of the times. Robinho got a chance when Vidic was unable to reach to the ball and Robiniho left Rafael back to win the ball in United's penalty area with his enormous speed. But he put the ball way wide of the post. Apart of this, City didn't get any other impressive chance to decrease the deficit of 2 goals. Although, they dominated the possession. But, football is not about keeping the ball, its about playing it too.
City, led by a Man United legend Mark Hughes, were stunned by United rock solid defense and their scoring capabilities. They were confident, having Robinho, Ireland and Elano will make the difference and they will give hard time to United. But it didn't happen. They lost it easily. Not a very great day for United, but they still managed to get an easy win 2-0 over City.
United had to play away with Wigan at JJB Stadium. Having defeated from WBA, Wigan must be itching to show their caliber. And am sure, they will give tough times for United. But you know, United is United.
They will WIN again. Glory Glory Man United ..., HA HA HA HA HA HA
Thanks,
Vikas
Glory Glory Man United
