The veteran manager heaped praise on his faithful servant but was critical to point out Luis Nani as the main culprit for the defeat
Manchester United’s second visit to Stamford Bridge in a matter of four days ended on a sour note for the 19-time English champions as they were unable to contain their opponents from winning at the very end of extra time.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramires-c30523 managed to send the home crowd into ecstasy by gaining a two-goal lead, although Ryan Giggs capped off a brilliant solo display with calmly slotted spot-kick at the very end.
Edging closer to his 39th birthday, the Welsh star was imperious on the night and commanded the middle of the park with authority, something which shows his glaring class even at his advanced age.
While Giggs was simply sublime, there was one United player on the complete opposite end of the performance scale.
'Torrid' was the word that could be used to describe http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299’s outing in London, in which he frustrated his coaches and travelling fans in equal measure.
The Portuguese got on the score sheet early on in the game but unable to trouble the Chelsea defence after that, mostly because of his excessive dribbling and nonchalant passing.
Ferguson, having sided with the player through tough times, finally cracked and bashed the former Sporting Lisbon man in front of the media following the conclusion of the match.
“Nani is experienced but he’s a player who wants to beat men and I often discourage him from that. In that situation, if we’d kept the ball at the corner flag, the game’s over,” he said.
Nonetheless, he reserved some special words of praise for Giggs, claiming that he was an inspiration to everyone on the field, including the reigning European champions.
"I think some of the football was terrific. I think in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 players."
