Europa League , Editia 2011-12

parerea mea este ca daca Steaua joaca din nou cu Schalke, doua meciuri, tur si retur, o sa calce in picioare nemtii echipa asta.

Te grabesti.

cei care spun ca Steaua se va califica sigur in dauna lui Twente , ori sunt necunoscatori de fotbal , ori nu cunosc echipa olandeza;

cateva lucruri de care trebuie sa tinem cont :

- in primul rand,sunt olandezi;toata lumea cunoaste forta jocului prestat de echipele batave;

- de 3-4 ani se tot bat la titlu ,iar in Europa trec regulat de grupe;

- au un lot mai valoros ca al Stelei;

- Co Adriaanse,antrenorul lor, nu este un "nimeni" , conducand in trecut echipe precum Ajax,AZ Alkmaar sau FC Porto;

- Janko,de Jong sau Douglas sunt alte nume de care ar trebui sa se teama Steaua;

* ca o concluzie,nu va fi un meci usor dar,ne putem califica!

Eu cred ca Twente usor usor isi revine la normalitate, adica revine o echipa de pluton in Olanda, chiar daca este astazi pe locul 3. Au avut cativa ani buni dar le cam pleaca toti jucatorii. Fara Janko si De Jong sunt modesti, extrem de modesti.

Steaua se poate califica. Totul depinde de bulan in acest meci. Cui ii intra mai multe.

chodi, poate ma grabesc, dar uite astazi i-au batut pe Werder Bremen, echipa care e pe 5 in Germania, cu 5-0. Nu mai spun ca au jucat in semifinalele CL. din cate am vazut asa, e o echipa cam inconstanta, dar cand prinde o zi buna...

"We were well beaten," Sir Alex admitted. "Athletic Club Bilbao were the better team, they were very aggressive in terms of their attacking and pressing the ball. Their system caused us problems. All teams do that away from home - they overload the midfield which can cause you problems.

"When we went to three midfielders in the second half we seemed to get better and get a grip of the game and our attacking play was pretty good then. The attacking part wasn't a problem for us really, but our defending wasn't very good and it kept us on the back foot all the time. It was very loose, particularly in the first half.

"Without David De Gea, we could have conceded four or five goals. He was superb. He made maybe four or five terrific saves in the game."

De Gea had little chance for the first goal - the close-range header scored by Llorente - and Sir Alex feels the second one he conceded, from Oscar de Marcos, should have been chalked off.

"The second goal put us on the back foot again. I thought it was offside and if it had been disallowed, I think we could have won the game. Maybe not deservedly but I think we could have won it."

As for Athletic Club's killer third strike, Sir Alex queried the referee's decision to stop play when Patrice Evra kicked the ball without his boot on. When the resulting free-kick was pumped upfield, Iker Muniain fired home the rebound from another stunning save.

"The ref said to the players that you can't play without a boot. It seems a bit bizarre as Patrice only passed the ball about three feet. It was a bit unfortunate."

Looking ahead to next Thursday's return match, Sir Alex said: "We can win the game, I don't think there's any question about that. We showed tonight we can make chances against them. Obviously we're going to have to defend better, that goes without saying."

Sir Alex had praise for the opposition fans who travelled in numbers rarely seen for a European club coming to Old Trafford - "when visiting teams bring that number of fans it makes for a great atmosphere" - and also for his opposite number Marcelo Bielsa, Athletic Club's Argentine coach.

"His team probably mirror himself. The work ethic of their team is fantastic. They worked harder than us tonight. That's the way he's built his team to work as hard as that and press the ball everywhere on the pitch. They never stopped running. They had a two-hour training session yesterday " one hour in the morning at our old training ground and one last night so they trained for two hours and still put that effort in tonight. It tells you everything about them."

Ce meci a facut Bilbao! Au cativa jucatori de mare valoare.

Ma bucura si victoria lui Sporting, chiar daca stiu ca nu se califica...

Noroc cu De Gea, altfel dadeau spaniolii 5-6 boabe.

Erau sa-l omoare si sa-l faca fericit pe Kellerman

Ce cauta pe banca tehnica a unitilor ?

Kellerman, a pierdut United, unde esti?

Rezultat LIVE !

42' Manchester C. 0 - 2 Sporting Lisbon

Doar sa reziste Sporting in partea a doua.

Kellerman, a pierdut United, unde esti?

Sarbatoreste 120 de ani de Liverpool.

Rezista Sporting fiindca asa vrea City

Nu vezi ce schimbare ofensiva? Intra De Jong, iese Johnson

Sa fim seriosi, echipele din Manchester nu au fost interesate de UEL in niciun moment. Si am zis asta de cand au iesit din UCL.

Urat. Ce-o sa vada lumea la Bucuresti, in finala?Toti au vrut United-City!

LE 1-2 .

@Alecs : ai dreptate! Da`in istorie tot vor ramane ca fiind eliminati de Sporting (inca nu s-a terminat, este 2-2 in minutul 76 ),dar daca United isi mai permite sa spuna ''pas'' unui trofeu ca Europa League,City nu-i sigura nici de Premier League si,chiar daca vor lua titlul,vor ajunge tot cu Mancini in UCL...so...

In alta ordine de idei,se pare ca Schalke ii elimina pe Twente ( 3-1 in minutul 77 )

L.E. > 78' Schalke 4 - 1 FC Twente Enschede McLaren si-a luat Ferrari.
