Lets Talk Tactics: FC Barcelona vs Manchester United CL Final

[Suprah]

Man Utd will win on penalties.
Barca have to try and finish the job in 90 minutes or at least ET because in penalties we will lose.
Valdez never saves a penalty.
our best penalty takers in Etoo and Messi are not very reliable eighter.

Berbatov messed up his penalty in FA Cup semis...and I have yet to see Van Der Sar ever save a penalty since Anelka messed up in Moscow.

VDS is much better than Valdez and all Man Utd penalty takers are better than Barca's.

i dont think we will see much of a suprise. barca will play their usual passing game and slowly attack. they will pass even more due to their weak defense. man u will sit back and counter them with speedy park crystiana and rooney. if man u scores 1st they will park (no pun intended) the bus and win. so a lot of it will be based on luck. lets not forget the ref either. if barca scores first then man u will still have a chance to equalize because barca will still pass it around but still attack. my prediction: if someone win it in regular time it will be 2-1 man u. otherwise 1-1.

Manchester United Boss Sir Alex Ferguson Promises Rome Goal-Fest

The Scot feels there will be fireworks in next week’s Champions League final with Barca and insists Ronaldo will stay at Old Trafford.

Sir Alex Ferguson will be gunning for a third Champions League crown next Wednesday when his Manchester United side face Primera Division champions Barcelona in the final of the competition at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico. He has forecast an exciting match.
“The ingredients are all there for a historic final and I hope it will live up to expectations,” he confessed to La Gazzetta dello Sport. “It's two great teams with great players. We all know that finals can be disappointing, but I feel it will be a big score this time around.”

“I am not really thinking about it,” noted the 67-year-old. “The more you are successful, the more people and the media expect of you.

“And then at the first setback, you get kicked in the teeth, with headlines saying ‘Ferguson is finished’ or ‘It’s time to put him on a deck chair on the pensioners’ beach in Torquay’."

Italian striker Federico Macheda, 17, scored two key goals for the Red Devils in the Premier League, allowing United to reclaim their crown. Ferguson spoke of the Roman native, stating, “As for Macheda, he has already shown what he can do and we also have another Italian in the squad, [Davide] Petrucci, who is a fantastic midfielder.”

Cristiano Ronaldo flirted with Real Madrid last summer and the Spanish giants are also in the hunt for a new boss. Would Ferguson contemplate a move to the Bernabeu?

“Do you know how old I am? No, I would not join Real and I won’t let Ronaldo join them,” he concluded.

senile old man.

i doubt it. his side will probably play cautious and use his speedy players on counterattacks.

The game will end with United winning because of set pieces.

Sir Alex Ferguson: Every Woman In Milan Is Like Miss World

The Manchester United boss loves it in Europe...

Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, 67, has admitted that - despite landing his 11th Premier League title - it is the European nights that get him most excited.

Ferguson distinguishes between the tribal nature of football in England, with separate factions including the Geordies, the Scousers, the Mancunians, and the ****neys, to list a few from a somewhat larger list.

While, he claims, Spain and Italy are more cultured, with the smell of perfume and cigars dominating Madrid and Barcelona, and Miss World-like laden streets that are prevalent in Milan.

Ferguson is quoted by the Scotsman as saying, "England is about tribalism. You’ve these different countries in one big country. You’ve Geordies, Yorkshiremen — a game between Manchester United and Leeds is vicious — us and the Scousers. The atmosphere, the intensity, the rivalry — it takes your breath away.

"You’ve the Midlands and the London teams, all of them little pockets in their own right. That tribalism forces you to do well in the Premier League but the real excitement comes in Europe," he said.

"The Wednesday night atmosphere when you, maybe, go to Madrid and Barcelona. You can smell the cigars and there’s perfume wafting down from the stands. It’s wonderful, it’s different. I love it.

"You go to Milan and everyone’s so stylish. Every woman who passes you by is Miss World. The whole atmosphere at these places is unreal," he concluded.

Manchester United travel to Rome for a Champions League final showdown with Barcelona on May 27. It is not clear yet whether Ferguson was including David Beckham's wife Victoria in his assessment of Milan women.
