Berbatov's confession

"We have so much talent at United. They do stuff that I honestly cannot do and don't even try because I would look like a fool. You see people doing it and ask them about it. You learn from each other. To develop, you have to."

"What can you say about Wayne? He has been here for so many years, playing top football. It is amazing he is only 23. When he reaches around 28 he will be even better. We see in training, and you can see in games, the unbelievable passion he has got."

"We are going for everything there is to win. We have a good squad. I don't need to introduce anybody. Everybody knows what Manchester United's players are capable of and we are ready to go again."

This is what Berbatov confessed. You know the fact. So you have to work harder on the field, please.

Champions League draw - Is it a good draw?

Posted by Weng Sun | Friday, August 28, 2009 | | 0 comments »

We will be facing Besiktas, CSKA Moscow and Wolfsburg. I worry about few matches, though we avoid big names like Barca, Inter and Bayern Munich. The away match against Besiktas and CSKA Moscow would be tough. Playing in Russia is not easy, particularly in December.

Besiktas home ground is not a welcoming venue for visitors. Also, I have no full confidence United could win in Germany as well. Perhaps a draw. So United must beat all opponents at home. The Theatre of Dreams is our hope.


Preview: Man Utd vs Arsenal

Posted by Weng Sun | Friday, August 28, 2009 | | 0 comments »

It's only the 4th game of the season for United. We need to face the first Big Four clash this season. What can we expect from this match?

Ferdinand and Van der Sar will not play in this match. Still, defensive problem remains the issue. Though there is news that Fabregas will not play, Arsenal have plenty of firepower this season. Even defenders like Gallas and Vermaelen are on the score sheet. The partnership between Vidic and Evans is not as solid as Vidic-Ferdinand pair. So the tough figure like Darren Fletcher is needed in this big match.

Well, I feel like the United-Arsenal match is not as tight as those matches in Roy Keane's era. There were always clashes between Keane and Vieira and incidents happened every time both team played. There is no Keane and Vieira in both teams. Even Ronaldo, the super diver has flied to Spain. So, what we can see now are skills from players of teams. Fergie speaks the same words.



I remember the match in 2003 where van Nistelrooy-Vieira incident climbed to climax. That is one of the classic United-Arsenal match I would never forget. Anyway, I give full support to United to beat Arsenal. WE CAN MAKE IT!!!




Time to prove yourself, Anderson

Anderson expected to be featured in the match against Chelsea in the Community Shield but he didn't make it. He only made one appearance so far this season, being part of the team humiliated by Burnley. There are rumours he will leave the club after getting frustrated with lack of first team chances.

But he has made it clear that he wants to stay to fight for a place in first team squad. He told the Daily Mail:

"I believed that I would play in the Community Shield but that is forgotten now. I thought that, without Cristiano Ronaldo around, I could play more and that has been my challenge from pre-season onwards. But the coach decides the teams and to discuss this with him is foolish because he is the chief. I do not want to leave United. No. Sir Alex Ferguson has demanded a bigger effort from me and I accept that. Because to get into this United team is very complicated and difficult for any player."

It's good you know that, Anderson. When United signed you a couple of years back, I had no idea who the kid is. But soon I was impressed by his prolific skill on Youtube. It was something he made when he played for Gremio and Porto. My friend told me: "Hey, this guy plays better than Ronaldinho!" So please don't let us down, Anderson.
