The Brazilian was delighted after netting the equalizer at Anfield, but claimed that the win was much more important than any personal achievement.
Manchester United found themselves in a sticky situation against Liverpool yesterday, with the Red Devils falling one goal down right after half-time.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s men failed to perform in the opening 45 minutes, as the hosts commanded the middle of the park and starved their opponents with very little possession.
Fergie’s decision to play the ageing limbs of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 did a lot to rectify the situation.
However, as soon as the Ginger-haired magician came onto the field, the Merseysiders struck and it was veteran Scouser http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 who netted the opener with a superb low shot.
Just as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 began to assert their dominance, United rose to the occasion and got the all-important equalizer through an unlikely source.
Rafael, who doesn’t find the back of the net much, curled a spectacular left-footed shot into http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 Reina’s top corner and left the Spaniard with no chance as the Reds went marching on.
"It's a very important three points. It wasn't a great performance from us but in the last five years we haven't won here so we're very pleased. It's definitely the best goal I've scored for United. It was a good moment to get it because it was so quick
after they scored. If we hadn't had scored them we might have got a little bit nervous so it was an important time to get the goal.”
"I was so pleased [to score] for the fans. They always give me such great support and I know this is an important game for them so I'm very happy,” the Selecao starlet was quoted as saying to the media.
United now face Newcastle United in the Capital One Cup on the 26th of September and considering the large squad Ferguson has at his disposal, the 19-time English champions will choose to play the likes of Javier Hernandez, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565 and Danny
Welbeck.
However, they are probable favourites taking into account the quality talents that ply their trade at Old Trafford.
