Manchester United vs. Chelsea: Sir Alex Ferguson hails ‘incredible’ Ryan Giggs - UEFA Champions League
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed his veteran winger Ryan Giggs for his outstanding performance in club’s recent win over Chelsea in the second-leg of the UEFA Champions League.
Sir Alex Ferguson said, “We have said it so many times about the man. He is just incredible. He is a unique person and player, who has made a great contribution to this tie. His experience and composure were vital. Ryan has fantastic balance. He has never
lost that.”
“He is also lucky in that he has a superb physique. He has never carried any weight and looks after himself. You need to make tremendous sacrifice to still be playing at 37,” added Manchester United manager.
Ryan Giggs, who is considered as the most decorated player in the history of the Barclays Premier League, seems to be enjoying his prime form. The 37-year-old looked as energetic as any other player on the pitch and was surely the stand out performer in
the both legs of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea.
Ryan Giggs showed glimpses of his vast experience in both matches and helped Manchester United qualify for the semi-final of the European Competition. Despite being 37 years old, the Welsh midfielder played the full ninety minutes in the first-leg of the
UEFA Champions League at Stamford Bridge.
Not only did he create problems for Carlo Ancelotti’s men but he also assisted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 for the only goal of the night, which also marked United’s first ever win at west London since 2002.
Moreover, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, he was the provider of both goals. The Welsh winger assisted Chicharito after playing a superb low cross for the Mexican striker on the far post, who tapped in
to give United a one goal lead at Old Trafford.
After Didier Drogba’s equaliser in the second half, Manchester United scored a winner within seconds, to completely kill the tie for Chelsea. Once again, Ryan Giggs played a killer lobbed pass to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Park-Ji-Sung-c29147 inside the box and the South Korean easily scored
the goal.
Ryan Giggs, who was part of Manchester United’s famous 1999 treble winning squad, has now put his team one step close to claiming three different trophies once again.
