The full-back claims that it is imperative to secure a win against the Black Cats, also adding that the team’s morale is soaring after the derby win last week.
With Manchester Unites sensationally sealing three points at the Etihad, the mood at Old Trafford is one of celebration as the Holidays loom closer and the title race heats up.
The club are known to be stronger in the second half of the season and could seal the Premier League title in style if they continue their current superb form. While the players could be forgiven for changing their attitude, according to Rafael, the squad
is still determined than ever and are eager to secure three points when Sunderland come to visit.
Last May, the Wearside giants incurred the wrath of the Red Devils when their fans celebrated Manchester City’s title triumph at the Stadium of Light.
Numerous personalities including Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson irritated by the supporters’ lack of respect, as United have sent numerous players to the side over the years.
Even http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 is fired up for this one and has vowed to grind out a positive result against Martin O’Neill’s men when they travel to the Theatre of Dreams.
Now Rafael has backed his teammate’s claims and reiterated that the 19-time English champions will be looking for the win, when the game gets underway later today.
"It’s really important we get the result against Sunderland. We did a very good http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 last week, everyone knows that but we need to keep our momentum going if we’re going to get our title back."
Continuing, he added that the team had been successfully training for the past week and it was integral that they maintain their winning streak, so that they can land title number twenty.
"It’s been a great week in training for us – beating City was a big boost mentally for us. And the way the game went and how we won was a great feeling and the result has motivated everyone. When you win a big game like the derby and win it in the way we
did it’s just such a good feeling,” said the Brazilian International whilst speaking to the media before the crucial tie.
