http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 demands respect for Manchester United – English Premier League news
Manchester United defender, Nemanja Vidic, has claimed that the Red Devils deserve respect for their achievements in the past few seasons. The United skipper was speaking ahead of the upcoming Champions League final against Barcelona at Wembley Stadium.
Much of the build-up to that encounter has focused on the previous meeting between the two sides. Barcelona and Manchester United competed the 2009 UEFA Champions League final in Rome; a match in which the Catalans cruised to a 2-0 victory courtesy goals
from Samuel Eto’o and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296. Many pundits have predicted that the Spanish giants will repeat the heroics of their 2009 triumph to reclaim the title.
It is something that Nemanja Vidic is getting tired of hearing. The United defender is adamant that his side can defeat Barcelona for the Champions League crown on the May 28. He claims that the Red Devils have proved their credentials with their performances
over the past few seasons, including their record-breaking Premier League triumph in the recently concluded domestic campaign.
Even though many consider this Manchester United squad to be inferior to the one that lost the 2009 Champions League final in Rome, Vidic believes that the gulf between the Red Devils and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 is not as wide as it was two years ago. Speaking on the
matter, the Manchester United http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Captain-c8314 said, “There should be some respect for us. Barcelona are favourites for this game. We are fine with that. They are a good team and they play some good football. But we are not a club that has won nothing over the years.
We are Manchester United.”
He added, "In the last five years we have won four titles and this will be our third Champions League final. I believe we can win."
Manchester United have already ensured that the 2010/11 season will be remembered as one of the most successful campaigns in their storied history, thanks to their record-breaking 19th Barclays Premier League triumph. The Red Devils will be looking
to put the icing on the cake by defeating the ‘best football team in the world’ to the lift the Champions League crown on the 28th of May.
