Manchester United got their hands on every possible silverware except the FA cup and the Carling Cup.......But wait..there was still one remaining....and that was the Club World Championship...
It was supposed to take place in Yokohama...which is about 8 hours behind UK time...
so thats a massive jetlag.....but forget jetlag...these solid Champions Went,Saw and conquered Yokohama with their silky play n charming presence.....
In their first match against Gamba Osaka..a team touted to be asia's best ever..the Red devils never showed any discomfort....Ronaldo and Vidic scored their headers with the cool and calm of training in Carrington....the match was a fair cakewalk....
So the European champs proved out to be really Superior than their Asian counterparts...
Next was the final......the big match that would eventually spill out the bitter truth of club football....
The venue was Yokohama's chief stadium....It seated a record crowd that day...most of them for ManU...
The fixture was Manchester United vs Liga de Quito...The european champs vs the Amerian champs....The British Masters vs The Latin Skiller's.....
So the match started..n as usual the latin being the Under dogs started Nervous counter attacks n United kept on denying them in their own tongue in cheek lazy manner....the opponents shooted,countered,pierced.but to no avail....and to every one's surprise it was Edwin Van Der Sar who was game that day....
The oldie just brought out such saves that even youngsters would hide their face.....
an then after Edwin started the show , the attackers carried it on....Rafael kept on spraying the ball into the Area nRonnie n Rooney together started making schemes.....Tevez was rather aloof from their plans....ronaldo blasted to perfection some cool dipping shots...rooney as usual was on fire...he kept rotating his position like ronnie....they kept attacking while liga hoped for a good counter.....first half went goalless....but united need not worry.coz they were already in the mood...
Second half saw a moment of madness from Vidic resulting in a dissapointing Red card...it will affect his Chances of starting The match against Inter in Feb....Then Tevez was substituted....
but in a few minutes the story changed.. ...the ball was in a shooting position for mike Carrick...an d as always he gave in a delicate pass to Ronnie who was near the penalty spot,Back towards the goal....he could have turned around and have a shot..but instead he rolled it up for Rooney standing a yard and a half besides him...Rooney didnt wait for a 1st touch,and drove the ball by curling it around the goalkeeper from an acute angle....N what a goal.....
the one goal separated United from the latins...
But Whatevr...They R now The World Champions for the moment...So wishing them luck for the Coming year...n for evry1 of u folks A merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!!!
