Manchester City 0 - 0 Manchester United - Where was the football ?
Publicat de World News la Thursday, November 11, 2010
Honestly one of the dullest matches in the history of this great derby. Sir Alex Ferguson blamed Mancini's tactics for the result. The Italian coach defended himself saying that the players are very fatigued and that it's his right to fight for "just a point".
Ferguson said after the match : "I am disappointed we didn't win. We needed to win. But we only made two good chances in the game and I don't think they made any. There were good aspects to our play. We dominated and played some good football. But teams coming here are going to find it difficult."
Edwin van der Sar stated for " The Guardian": "City did not really come forward and leave their defensive position. They were clearly aiming for a point whereas we really wanted to win. They were so defensive I didn't have anything to do apart from one free-kick."
Mancini's reply after the match: "When you play every three days the players can get tired. It's not easy playing every three days and then having a game like that. We wanted to win but I would prefer to have one point rather than zero points, which is what we got from this game last season. It was a difficult game; they defended very well and we didn't create many chances, but last season we scored against them and lost three matches all in the last minute. I wanted to win but it is much better to draw than it is to lose."
There you have it. Italian style at his best!
