Old Trafford aura will help Reds make it to Champions League semi-finals
April 7th, 2010 - 6:22 pm ICT by ANI
London, Apr.7 (ANI): Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson is convinced that the combined force of the Red legions inside Old Trafford, one of the world’s greatest stadiums, will make the difference in ensuring his team’s entry into the Champions League semi-finals.”Old Trafford has that suction behind the goal. In the Stretford End in the second half, the ball gets sucked into the net. Those last-minute goals, there are too many to count. But it’s not by accident. It’s the way we play. It’s amazing. But it’s not always the team. The fans sometimes make it happen,” The Sun quoted Ferguson, as saying.It will be a packed house as United aim to overcome a first-leg deficit in the knockout stages for only the second time in seven attempts.
Ferguson said: “This is a chance to get to the semi-finals and that is an incentive. Most people would think we have a good chance and the tie is certainly not over. There is still work to be done but the away goal makes a difference, especially in the modern game. (ANI)
