Yesterday’s game against AS Roma, was an open game and we might once more not have been the crushing winners, everyone expects ManU to be, but who cares?
As I was speaking about last night’s game with friends at work and at the pub too, I became quickly pi$$ed off.
We’ve been lucky.
Those were the wise words of almost everyone who wanted to discuss yesterday’s game with me. I call bollocks on this one. We HAVE NOT been lucky, Roma have been lucky. Or maybe not. We just saw an open game with several chances at every side. And we saw many internationals on the pitch all performing on a high level, especially the defenders at both sides.
On Tuesday, Roma comes to OT again and we’ll have another chance to get in our rhythm, hopefully scoring more goals this time. Last season we’ve beaten Roma 7-1 in the replay of the UCL quarter finals, but chances that we’ll repeat this royal beating are rather slim. Not because we don’t have the talent to so, but more because those monster scores are rather exceptional and repeating that performance would be a unique performance.
