Never write Manchester United off


Never write Manchester United Off

The trembling voice of the commentator on the last few minutes of the Champions league final 99 always echoes in my head, Can Manchester United Score? They always Score. And We always do Score. 2-0 3-0 Doesn't matter, Football is the game played to till the Final whistle goes off. Even before the game started the game was never meant to be a friendly match, one of the most fierce derby and a curtain raiser. Manchester United, the defending Champions were eager to start the new season on high, to win the unprecedented 20 league title. There would not have been better match than Manchester United Vs Manchester City to start the season with community shield.

Wembley stadium hosted the 2011/12 curtain raiser, New looked Manchester United took command of the game from the start. But it was Man City who took the lead against the run of play from a 38th minute Joleon lescott Header. Even though United were in control of the game Man City were 2-0 from a Dzeko's goal at the end of the first half.

Ferguson made three changes in the second half Phil Jones, Tom Cleverly and Johnny Evans replaced Ferdinand and Michael Carrick and Nemanja Vidic , and the changed paid off. Chris Smalling grabbed a goal back for United on the 52nd minute from a Ashley Young set piece. Six minutes later United were leveled as Nani scored for United, who finished a brilliant move with a clinical finish. The match was almost going into Penalties, before Wayne Rooney crossed into Nani who passed Vincent Kompany and one on one with Hart and finished brilliantly and calmly on the Injury time. Manchester United Pulled off a late minute winner against Man City to win 19th Community shield. And, a brilliant comeback. Though City took the early lead, Manchester United were in command of the game form the start.

Like always, Can Manchester United Score? They always Score!! Football is a game of 90, plus the added time. And, it takes more than just money to win the league and be the best team of England and of the world. Manchester United showed their never giving up attitude in the game yesterday and this is what Champions are made up off, 2-0 down on the 1st 45 minutes and 3-2 up on the next. It's a big pressure to play in such big matches and to be the best you need to be able to handle the pressure, and Man City couldn't handle the pressure, and United will fight till the end, not just yesterday, we have seen them come back to win from goal down situation hundreds of time and we will see more of the. Even with the departure of veteran players like Van De sar and Scholes, the team showed their will to win the game, their Champions attitude and they proved that this team will be the best team in the years to come, David de Gea, Tom Cleverly and Ashley Young had good game and they will improve in years to come and this team will get better and better as the seasons goes on, to win the unprecedented 20th league title.

And, Never write Manchester United off...
