http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling reiterated his determination to keep the Premier League trophy in the red half of Manchester.
The Red Devils have finally prevailed in opening up a gap at the top of the summit with their determination and experience seeing them through.
In their last game at Old Trafford, United were put under pressure by Martin Jol’s Fulham but the hosts showed resilience and were able to keep their opponents at bay for most of the ninety minutes.
A late penalty appeal was also denied to the visitors, much to the joy of the Reds’ faithful.
After taking the initiative, it seems destined that Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s will end up as champions but their bitter rivals Manchester City seem to have other plans.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s expensively assembled squad were arguably the team to beat in the last few months, as they ripped apart opponents including their cross-town rivals with inflated score lines.
However their recent blip in form has placed United in pole position to retain their crown and Chris Smalling believes that the satisfaction will be even greater as they will be edging out the Citizens.
“It definitely means more because it's City. It's down to us two now and its massive. The media build it up and as players we definitely want to win it because we know quite a few of their players. It's going to be crucial to get those bragging rights for
next year.”
“We've probably had enough injuries for most of the teams in this league. Luckily we have the squad to be able to cope but it says a lot about Manchester United that no matter the adverse conditions we have, whether it's injuries or a tough run of games,
we tend to come through it.”
He also added that Sir Alex Ferguson plays a major part in getting the team where they are now and fully deserved the plaudits he received.
The Scotsman is well known for his man-to-man talks and his shrewd tactics have often resulted in points for United, when a draw would have been the fairer result.
The tactician will be hoping to do the same when the club next take on Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385, while City entertain Sunderland.
