Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar urges teammates to do their best against Chelsea
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has urged his teammates and fans to put their best ahead of their important clash against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
He insisted that United have an all-important clash coming up and a drop there would make it extremely difficult for the Red Devils towards the end of the ongoing 2010-11 season.
Van der Sar has encouraged his side to put the defeat against Arsenal behind them and look forward. Recently, United slipped to a 1-0 defeat against the Gunners at the Emirates falling prey to a solitary goal from the Welshman http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Ramsey-c3065. This defeat left
United just three points clear of the second placed Chelsea after the Blues had inflicted defeat upon Tottenham Hotspur a day before on April 30, 2011.
The veteran goalkeeper demanded a lot of support from the home fans and has also asked his mates to get their acts right ahead of an important week.
Before United host Chelsea on Sunday, they will host the Bundesliga outfit Schalke 04 in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final at Old Trafford. The first leg played in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 ended 2-0 in United’s favour which means that Schalke would
have to beat van der Sar twice in order to have any chance of claiming a place in the final of the Champions League.
The 40-year-old mentioned, “It is a big week ahead, it is important for the players to recover and for the fans to be at their best on Wednesday and Sunday. These are the games you want to be involved. This is what it is all about.”
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 international is set to retire at the end of the season and has wished to get his hands on the trophy before he retires from all kinds of football. United have a glorious chance of completing a double and this would be a perfect farewell
for the veteran.
The Former Ajax goalkeeper concluded by saying, “We have had a period when we lost some games away from home, but hopefully this is going to be the end of it and we can move forward now and achieve our aims.”
United are currently leading the Premier League with 73 points and are left with three games to be played in the campaign.
