elampiro: This is a silly take. CQ didn’t ask Ronaldo to miss his penalty. That was on Ronaldo. All CQ did was to ensure United navigate the semifinal tie without conceding silly goals that had eliminated Ferguson’s team in the previous seasons of the CL. Man Utd weren’t more feared than Barcelona in Europe in 2008. Man Utd lost to Milan 3-0 in the previous season. United hadn’t won CL 9 years prior to 2008 while Barcelona won it 2 years prior in 2006. It was a masterclass from CQ considering United had no Vidic in both legs. Ronaldo wasn’t vastly superior to Messi in 2008, you probably have forgotten Messi was 2nd to Kaka in FIFA player of the year in 2007 while Ronaldo came 3rd. The only reason Messi was a bit underwhelming(he was still the MOTM in both legs) was because he was still recovering from injury and Rijkaard couldn’t even play him for 90 mins in the first leg. elampiro: In a nutshell, United went into a lion’s den without Vidic and didn’t concede a goal. They came back to Old Trafford with a clean sheet and finished the job there. In previous seasons, United were eliminated by mediocre teams like Porto, aging Milan, Leverkusen and other shitty teams. elampiro: Barca and Chelsea(Avram Grant) were stronger than United. Without the tactical acumen of CQ, United would never have won 2008 CL - even SAF admitted it in his book. elampiro: In 2009, United could have won the final even in the absence of Darren Fletcher but SAF had no CQ to hold his hand to navigate the threat posed by Barcelona’s midfield and attack. SAF left Tevez on the bench and played Giggs & Carrick in the midfield to contain the trio of Busquets, Iniesta and Xavi. One of the most idiotic decisions any manager has taken in the final of CL. It was a mismatch as Barcelona controlled the game from the moment Eto’o scored till the last kick of the game. A season later, Mourinho(another Portuguese) proved Barcelona can be beaten by letting them have the ball while putting plenty of men at the back. Mourinho proved you can control possession without actually having the ball. Just let your opponents have the ball in the areas they can’t hurt you and they would suicide themselves. In conclusion, SAF is not a tactician. He’s not reactive. He doesn’t worry about where he can be hurt. He only focused on where he can hurt his opponents. Pep taught him bitter lessons in the finals of 2009 and 2011. 3 Likes |

elampiro: You are a big olodo. 2008 was the only time he was able to convince Alex Ferguson not to go cavalier against Barcelona. Everything was explicitly stated in Ferguson’s book and Neville confirmed it later that he had not seen such a drill before in his career at Old Trafford with sit-up mats on the pitch and tape rule measurement strictly insisting which positions defenders must take and blah blah blah. You won’t find this on Wikipedia so I am sorry for your lack of knowledge. Anybody that says Ronaldo was vastly superior to Messi in 2008 shouldn’t even be having a football discussion or pointing fingers that someone else doesn’t know football. People with such opinions should be locked up for 9 months with spiritualists for a deliverance bath. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Illimitable: 3:56pm On Apr 07, 2021 |
nitrogen: To be fair to him, English clubs were banned in Europe between 1985-1990 and by the time they rejoined European football, they had lagged behind considerably and this coincided with when Fergie arrived from Scotland. Be that as it may, he should still have won at least 4 or 5 UCL trophies in 20 years. |

Illimitable: You make no sense. 2008 vs Barca was not a final match. It was a semi final match. How did SAF cross three semi finals in 2009 without your CQ? How come CQ doesn't do well on his own? We were superior to Barca in 2008 and Ronaldo was far superior to Messi. You were calling Kaka and talking about 2007. That was a different year. Kaka vanished after that year, Messi was still discovering himself in 2007 and 2008, akin to the way Ronaldo was discovery himself in 2007. After United went out from Milan, SAF said Kaka has shown Ronaldo where he needs to go. Truly, in 2008, Ronaldo was the most feared player in the world. A certain coach said Roma boasting to upturn two goals deficit at Old Trafford was an impossible task against the strongest man at the moment (Ronaldo), and the best team (Man United) 2 Likes |
