At last
It's been a while since I last update my blog. I'm still recovering from conjunctivitis on both eyes. I wrote this just after watching my favorite team, Manchester United won 3-2 in a thrilling match with Aston Villa. With credit, Villa does deserve a point at least, but football is always football. You cannot cave in before the final whistle blows. With Rooney and Vidic suspended, Brown, Ferdinand and Berbatov out injured, United are well short of quality players, but they have proof that they have the strength in depth. With Neville back from hamstring problem, an inspirational captain has restored. They need someone like Keane, Schmeichel and Cantona to bark them out, as does so with Neville. But as always, their passing was their main weakness to exploit, and with speedy players such Young and Ablongahor (if I spell it correct), Villa does well to cause problems with counter attacks. United took the lead, as a back pass form Milner to Friedel cost them, as with resulting free kick, Ronaldo put United 1-0 with an angled shot. But as complacent creep in United side, Villa managed to equalized after a good work from Barry to crossed the ball for Carew to head in. At half time, it was a stalemate. After the restart, both sides went for glory trying everything possible to put the ball back of the opposition’s net. But Villa nicked in the goal to be 1-2 up. This time Carew the provider, with Ablongahor produced the finishing touch. United does played poorly in the game for much of the time, but with the introduction of the unknown striker from Italy, Macheda, brought a positive reaction to the United squad. He got a touch before Ronaldo slotted in a low left-footed shot before grabbing the winner at the death. The title is still very much alive, but with European fixtures next on the line, it surely makes things more exciting. Few bumps before and now the team has believed in themselves again (hope that's true). We’ll see how the team does from now on.
