Alex Ferguson has no complaints with Manchester United being second best to Barcelona
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, has gone on to reveal that he has no problems with his side being second best to Barcelona.
Barcelona went on to win the Champions League twice over the last three years and both the times that they won the trophy, they beat United along the way n order to do so.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson, when talking about Barcelona and their rise to success is quoted to have said: "I think their performances and their feats over the last two or three years have elevated them"
The manager then went on to confirm that everyone thought the Catalans were the best in the world, while confirming that he was quite happy with being second best to them, for the time being.
Ferguson then went on to add: "In everyone's mind they are the best team, currently, in the world.
"I'm quite happy to be in second place at this moment in time because that's our challenge. Our challenge will be to get to that level."
The manager’s comments have come days prior to the two sides meeting in a pre season friendly. Both Barcelona and United are set to take on each other this coming Saturday in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/United-States-c3034 and the way the match is building up, it could prove to be anything
but a friendly.
The last time the two sides met, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 went on to crush United, as they cruised to victory via three goals to one. What made the loss a whole lot worse, was the fact that it came in the Champions League finals and caused United to miss out on winning
the European and Premier League double.
A number of United players, especially their full-back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 have gone on to state time and time again that they wish to take on Barcelona in order to redeem themselves to the team’s fans and to the world.
As it stands those players will now be given the opportunity to do so this coming weekend and hopefully, they will be able to get the better of their Spanish opponents.
This upcoming game, is also going to be a brilliant opportunity for both the teams to showcase the new talent that they have recruited over the summers. At the same time, these new signings will be looking to go all out in the friendly, to establish themselves
in their squads and hence this upcoming game, is going to be a whole lot more fun than most games have been in this pre-season.
