It was 15th nov 2008...20:40 IST....
Camera points were focussed to the pitch of the "Theatre of Dreams"(u outta know tht I'm referring to The Old Trafford) .....
Two teams entered the field from the famous tunnel at the very auspicious ground....
'It was going to be an intriguing Battle between the teams', the pressmen discussed.........
And why not??
In fact the team that was visiting was on a high of defeating the Gunners two weeks ago...
they even managed to press out a draw against Mighty Chelsea......They had a trump card in the form of winger Rory Delap whose outside thows had become a hot topic within the british media circle n the premiership teams.....
Bt the Home Team was a certain different material...u know the champion material......
N what happened in the Next 90 minutes was moments of brilliance sprinkled in bursts by one of the Dark Knights of the Beautiful game.....
n to add icing to the cake ...the match wass topped up with two gr8 landmarks.....keep reading as the story unfolds...........................................
the teams took their positions........the captains(Edwin 4 the 1st time) completed the formalities......
there were several shake of hands in the Coaches Area...n why not.. It was The 50th anniversary of Association with football of our Beloved Sir Alex ferguson (Fergie)........The coach of the other Team(Stoke City) Tony Pulis shook hands with Fergie like a man totally indebted for life to him...
On the Pitchside the Game kicked off n players started scrambling with the possession of the ball ....all was normal Until the third minute when a Stoke player created a folly of tripping down a United Player in a normal yet goal gettable position without thinking of its consequences....
And then suddenly the crowd roared in applause.....Oh s***! It was Cristiano Ronaldo with the Ball in his Hand ....Could this Be the moment of truth...Could this convert into his Hundredth Goal for ManU...the team for which he pledged his future on the same day by agreeing to renew his contract.....
He placed the ball in a still position..Took his well measured trademark 5 steps behind n spread his legs in his own style...the air was saturated with anxiousness....But suddenly a thought struck my mind..' Why the hell would he be selfish enough to kick the Ball directly into the net '..n yes, I was true as the Ball was positioned more closer to the outside line than his beloved centre position...The GK too was casual in his approach while arranging the wall....But then too knowing Ronnie's game 4 quite a while now I was Clever enough to expect a Surprise...I guess Fergie too thought the same of his Prodigy....
n as these thoughts flashed suddenly the Ref blowed his whistle....n lets enjoy the moment with the Commentators...over to them-
"Ronaldo ready for the Kick...(Ref blows the whistle)...Ronaaaalllldooouuu....and its in....Hundred goals for Ronaldo....oh thats just what was needed For Manchester United ..an early goal...lets have a look at the replay....oh I think Thomas Sorensen was beaten not by the ball but the Anticipation...too much anticipation to be comfortable...it was actually a lesser swerwed ball than usual ..but Sorensen Anticipated a Bit too much...but whtever...it was a brilliant strike.."
Yes indeed it was brilliant....Ronnie made a sgn of 100 with his fingers after the goal....The crowed Cheered Unendingly for their youngest LEGEND....Indeed He is the Youngest one of the Legends to have Scord Hundred goals for the biggest team in the world(Arguably..bt i'm a fan u know!!)....
and what was to come was a 5-0 demolition of Stoke city whose Morale graph From the start to the end of the match went from high to lowest....
The other goals were Scored by Mike Carrick, Dimi Berbatov and 17 yo Wilbeck...
the yougster scored a blinder...a shot from twenty yards...what a way to score ur first goal that too in the Theatre of Dreams(Old Trafford)....
and Hold on.....The last goal out of 5 was again scored by our maestro(Ronnie)
Again it was a freekick...which was unlike the first one in the true sense of the word UNSTOPPABLE!!!!!!!!!!
gosh...this Boy is unstoppable.....
Hope that ManU Ride on his n his teammates good luck to go on to win an unprecedented QUADRUPLE(EPL,UCL,FA cup,Carling cup)....
Wouldn't it be beautiful?????????
