Tribute

Anyways, was wanting to pay tribute to the team I support
Found this great video clip titled "The 8th Miracle on Earth"
Thought it was quite exaggerating, but nah, good job by the editors

Thoughts on the Champions League final

Predicted line-up

Defence

Edwin Van de Sar (Goalkeeper), Evra (Left Back), John O'Shea (Right Back)
Rio Ferdinand, Vidic (Centre Back)

Midfield

Park Ji-sung (Left Wing), Ronaldo (Right Wing)
Scholes & Carrick (Centre Mid)

Attack

Rooney, Berbatov

I'm not a biased analyst
I just break down the possibilities
And I like to discuss tactics with others
Not those hardcore fans who seemed quite depthless in their views

I think the battle will be fought hardest at the midfield
Need to contain Messi by the left-sider players (Park and Evra)
Cuz Messi will be deployed on the right to cut in onto the middle
Hahaha. I watch Barca highlights and matches sometimes
=)

But the midfield what I dont like is the Carrick and Scholes combi
Scholes cant tackle, Carrick takes too much time
Anderson should do well (some predict he would play)
But Anderson is not consistent
If he left his boots at England then die already
But in Europe, good things are non-English team not physcial
So Man U players got some time to stroke the ball
Cuz its all about possession
But if got Fletcher, he will do the job of chasing the ball
So now is left to Park to get it done

Park would be ultimately one of the KEY to winning the game
Need to chase the ball ppl
Cheers to the 1st EVER ASIAN player to play in the Champions League Final
He needs to play the defensive all-rounder
Chase the ball, tackle, pass, support attack, cut in, cross from wing
All must do
So his "Korean Ginseng" nickname would be put to the test!
I seriously hope he does well
(Notice he's one of the few playes would go down after a bad tackle
Stand up and no complains go on and play)

But of cuz, Anderson I say can help to tackle Xavi and Iniesta
The 2 are so damn good
And I think Man U midfield would win in terms of work-rate
Which I think is one of the strengths of our team
But if Xavi and Iniesta are not contained, one pass and walah
Good game, we can cry already

But in terms of attack
Barca got the 3-pronge danger
Hope Henry doesnt play
Then they will be quite screwed
HAHA!
Eto would be dealt with Ferdinand and Vidic
Sorry but our defence is ownage
Hope Ferdiniand no stupid dumb back spasms
So we can equal nullify their attack with our defence

And our attack....
Hmmm. This part I quite worried
In Europe, if Berbatov can play the holding player
Control the ball and pace, split the defence with his passes
Then Rooney and Ronaldo can come up and support
If he drift around.....
Ah ha. Can go eat shit also
But Barca defenders only Puyol is the main danger
He was the one tat played well in last year meeting
But I hoped Rooney will sacrifice
=(

Rooney needs to go in depth
Support the midfield, link up the attack
Make Berba pass the ball around
Hope for Carrick, Scholes and Ronaldo to score
Seriously thats my plan lah!

Anyways we should play a cagey game
Do our trademark counter-attack
Yes it would be tight
Not exciting
But we would attack
Hello Manchester United ok?
But Barca is very good
No under-estimation

Anyways if Chelsea had won
(Then we wouldnt see the Drogba disgrace)
But jokes aside, Chelsea would kick Man U ass
Coming from a Man U fan, you know how I rate our chances
