Sir Alex Ferguson praises MLS All-Star for better play in the first half – All-Stars Game News
Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United did not disappoint their fans back in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, winning with an emphatic 4-0 score line at Red Bull Arena in the highly anticipated international friendly with Major League Soccer All-Stars on July 27.
The Barclays Premier League champions ran through the All-Stars in New Jersey. However, the Scottish tactician praised the exploits shown by the Americans in the 90-minute stretch, especially in the first half.
"I think it was a tighter game than the score line showed for the first half," Ferguson said in the post-match press conference. "I think the MLS team was more dangerous than us."
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Park-Ji-Sung-c29147 scored one goal apiece in the first 45 minutes. However, team MLS created several chances but as the American story goes in the footballing world they squandered them in the final third.
The All-Stars outshot United 13 to 11 with 5 attempts on target against Red Devils’ 6. The first half saw possession dominated evenly by the two teams, as United were still getting used to the fast turf. The guests then took hold of the ball in the second
half and bossed the midfield with their short-passing game.
Sir Alex also appreciated the former United right-winger, David Beckham, for his athleticism on the right flank.
"I thought http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Omar-Cummings-c28557 was a real handful in the first half."
Impressed by the improved play in the US, the manager also hinted his willingness in sending over young United talent to the MLS. However, he also registered his reservations on the matter.
"It's something that there have been some approaches about that," he said. "The difficulty of that is that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/United-States-c3034 is a far bit off.”
