Sir Alex Ferguson praises Manchester United’s mental strength in their title defence of the English Premier League trophy...
Manchester United have bounced back superbly from their 6-1 defeat at Old Trafford at the hands of the league leaders Manchester City. Since their humiliating home defeat, Sir Alex’s team have gathered strength as they have sorted
their defence out and now embarked on a fantastic run of results in the Premier League. United remain within touching distance of their neighbours in their pursuit of a 20th league win in English football.
Manchester City still lead the league but only by two points as they lost earlier on in the month of December to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. Sir Alex Ferguson stated in his latest interview to the press, "If you lose a derby game 6-1, get knocked
out by a Championship team in the quarter-final of the Carling Cup, and lose to Basle, who are not a power in Europe, you can understand the criticism, but in terms of the nature of the players we have and the kind of club we are, we have shown the resilience
and determination to do something about it each time it has happened.”
He further elaborated that Manchester United’s style of football in the English Premier League of late has shown the character of the team and that United to falter during their title chase as it is shown by their previous Premier
League adventures but this season United’s failures have come in important games of the season which has meant that they have already bowed out of the UEFA Champions League as well as the Carling Cup.
He added, "That says a lot about the character of the team. We lose games in normal seasons. This season we have lost games that have been dramatic and a bit more emphatic in the sense of the impact it had on our chances of winning
trophies. These were bad results for us but the character of the team has rescued us each time."
Manchester United will hope that they can pull through the tough January and February period that awaits them and close the gap on Manchester City by winning their remaining Premier League matches. Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 will also look to knock
the Citizens out of the F.A Cup in the early days of January as they are scheduled to face City at the Eastlands stadium.
