The Scot commended the Ecuadorian for his performance against Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 and claimed that the winger was quite underrated.
When http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 departed Old Trafford in 2009, many expected Ferguson to sign a marquee player in order to replace the mercurial Portuguese star. But instead the veteran tactician opted to pay Wigan Athletic £16 million for their ace attacker, Antonio
Valencia.
For a crowd expecting the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 or Franck Ribery to enthrall them, it was let down when Valencia joined the club. But in that moment of anguish, no one realized the astuteness or shrewdness of the signing.
The 26-year-old has since then become one of the Red Devils’ leading lights and gives a ravenous performance every time he steps onto the fabled pitch in Manchester.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 was without a doubt, one gem of a player, but credit has to be given to Valencia, who has become a star on his own right.
His extra-ordinary speed coupled with his right wand-of-a-foot is reminiscence of certain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432 pinging in crosses from the flank and many have benefitted from his exemplary service.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson when talked to the media.
"Antonio could be very important. His form before he got the hamstring injury was outstanding. Now he' back we hope he stays fit because he's such an honest, hard-working player. He's got everything, really.”
"You get two sides to Antonio. He's prepared to work really hard. He can tackle, he can run, but he can also beat a man. He's got exceptional talent and yet people underrate him. We don't, that's why we bought him and now he is back and in that form it gives
us a big chance.”
The player himself though remained like his usual self despite the obvious comments made by the gaffer.
"I try and strive for continuous improvement and I am always looking to improve from one game to the next,” the forward was quoted as saying.
