Charlie Adam denies that he dived against Manchester United – English Premier League
Charlie Adam has come out after Liverpool’s draw with Manchester United and stated that he didn’t dive against the Red Devils to gain the free kick which eventually led to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196’s goal against the Premier League champions.
Sir Alex Ferguson started the match with a different looking line up as Manchester United used a 4-5-1 setup to curtail Liverpool’s vibrant midfield.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985. Liverpool dominated the first half with some good chances but
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 clashed with each other early on in the second
half and Charlie Adam also came under the spot light when he went down rather easily just outside the Manchester United penalty area.
The Scotsman was challenged by Ferdinand for the ball but the referee deemed the Manchester United defender’s tackle as a foul and awarded a free kick to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809. Steven Gerrard took the free kick which eventually resulted in
the first goal of the match for the Merseyside Reds. United equalized late on thanks to Javier Hernandez’s header via a corner kick and both the teams had an equal share of the spoils in the end. Charlie Adam was accused of going down too easily by Manchester
United’s players in the aftermath of the free kick and the Scotsman defended himself in his latest interview to the English press.
He said, "Well, everyone has an opinion and I felt a touch. If I hadn't gone down I would have been clear through on goal so there must have been contact. That's the way I look at it. I felt contact when I went past Rio and that's
the way it goes. I'm not that type of player. I'm not just going to go down easily. It was a foul and that is why the referee gave it and the goal was just different class. That is why Stevie is one of the best players in the world."
