Sir Alex Ferguson Is Still Optimistic

Sir Alex Ferguson

Manchester United supremo Sir Alex Fer­guson remains optim­istic des­pite of the embar­rass­ing 1–0 defeat to their bit­ter crosstown enemies Manchester City at the Eti­had Sta­dium last week. The exper­i­enced man­ager now hopes that Mark Hughes´s Queens Park Rangers side man­age to beat Manchester City at East­lands on Sunday.

One can always have too much of a good thing. This may even apply to such a good thing as abund­ance of money. In fact, money can make people extremely arrog­ant. Now while the Greek hero Achilles had his heel, Manchester City´s vul­ner­able point is arrog­ance. Sir Alex Fer­guson: “I took a team called Aber­deen to beat Real Mad­rid in a European final with 11 home-bred play­ers, the old­est one 27 years old. That is Queens Park Rangers’s chal­lenge, to go and do an Aber­deen. The play­ers had incred­ible belief in them­selves and I told them they would win the game. I really believed it and felt we were a cer­tainty. It was a very good team, a very close-knit bunch of lads who all grew up together.”
