http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 believes Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-Sung will be key against Barcelona
Former France captain and Manchester United left back Patrice Evra believes Red Devils midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Park-Ji-Sung-c29147 will prove to be their secret weapon against Barcelona in the final of the UEFA Champions League on May 28, 2011.
There are a number of world-class stars in the line up of Barcelona and United but no one is bigger than Lionel Messi. The little Argentine has mesmerised everyone with his talents, and many already say that he may be the greatest player to have ever played
the game. United though are not that worried about facing the world’s best player and believe that they have a secret weapon to cancel out the threat of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.
There is no doubt that Barcelona will go into the final of the Champions League as the favourites, but United may have a trick or two up their sleeve.
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Captain-c8314 and left back of Manchester United Evra believes that Park Ji-Sung may turn out to be an unlikely match winner for Manchester United. He said that the Korean has unbelievable pace and stamina and keeps on playing with the same intensity
from the first minute to the last.
“I was just laughing when I was watching the Chelsea game when he was running, because it was unbelievable. It must be the Korean food. I try to do the same, sometimes I go to his house and eat the same food,” said Evra.
Evra believes that the way Park plays is a great example for all of his teammates, as to how they should remain focused until the final whistle is blown.
“I think he's one of the most important players in the team because he doesn't stop running, he can run all day,” he said.
Park Ji-Sung is one of the few players in modern game who do not come with a bag full of reputation or with a star status. Neither do they have a big price tag on their heads, but when the team needs hard work and commitment, players like him are second
to none.
Prime example of that was in the Premier League game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 where United virtually sealed the League title. Ji-Sung was at full throttle and kept going after Chelsea’s backline and never let them settle.
The last time Manchester United faced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 was two years ago in 2009 in the same fixture. The final was played in Rome and Barcelona dominated the game from start to finish. There is a general consensus that United do not have a team as good as the
one they had back in 2009. However, the flip side is that they do not have too many superstars but players like Park and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 who will continue to run all day and never let the superstars of Barcelona settle.
The final may be won based on who works harder on the day, rather than who has more stars in the team.
