The Manchester United has urged his Great Britain to focus on the task at hand and come out on top against the South Americans in their next game.
After drawing against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Senegal-c3001 in their opening game, the pressure to perform was on the home side, when they took on UAE last night.
However, luckily for them http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 opened the scoring with a brilliantly taken header, but the Middle-Eastern team got back level through Rashed Eisa.
Clinging on for a berth in the next round, Stuart Pearce made two substitutions, both of which paid hefty dividends. Sinclair came on and scored with his first touch on the night, while Sturridge got on the end of a brilliant ball from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tom-Cleverley-c35218 and
capitalized by chipping the goalkeeper.
While yesterday night’s win was something to savour, the squad doesn’t have time to dilly dally, as they now face the sternest test of their credentials when they take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035.
The supremely talented Sky Blue team is led by Luis Suarez and will be difficult to defeat, something which Giggs also claimed while talking to reporters.
“We have to get past Wednesday first and that will be tough. They have top quality players. It was a very good win and it was a tough game. We knew they would cause problems and they did, but we came back stronger.”
The 38-year-old was also delighted to become oldest scorer in the Olympics Football Tournament and commented on how he finally added an International achievement to his burgeoning trophy cabinet.
“To score for the GB team is special and, more importantly, it put us ahead. Heading is not my strongest point so I was really pleased to see it go in. We felt we could score goals, and one goal was never enough,” the Welsh Wizard was quoted as saying.
The all-important tie against the Uruguayans take place at a familiar place for Giggs, as the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff is also one of the host Stadiums for the competition and is a place where the skipper can expect a rousing applause when his name
is called.
