The Reds have sprinkled a bit of stardust on the Club World Cup and brought it alive - an eight-goal thriller played out in front of a packed house in Yokohama to delight the fans and book a place in Sunday’s final.专业曼联球迷网站,曼联球迷的地盘,为广大球迷提供最新曼联新闻与视频资源.; o" ~: P+ j% E/ ^( S8 `
The competition has its critics who suggest it’s bloated and includes teams who really aren’t too special. They may have a point. Before United took to the field on Thursday there was the playoff for 5th and 6th place between Adelaide United and Al Ahly. Without being unkind, it was awful. The stadium was half empty. The football quality was low. It was like going to a U2 concert but having to sit through a support act that couldn’t play instruments or sing. ! m( g$ V& K% ^& c4 i# uwww.imanutd.comThen United appeared. All of a sudden, the stadium was packed and the atmosphere electric. Camera flashes were blinding. The Reds may have been playing a Japanese team in Japan, but Sir Alex’s men had the overwhelming majority of support.曼联在线·球迷地带8 N, m+ N5 D" K
When Cristiano Ronaldo appeared on the big screen the reaction was deafening. They love him here and his performance didn’t disappoint. Clearly the latest nonsense emanating from Madrid didn’t have the slightest effect on him. And the face of United’s No.7 is plastered all over the Japanese newspapers this morning. 专业曼联球迷网站,曼联球迷的地盘,为广大球迷提供最新曼联新闻与视频资源., i: V1 }& U. q/ m0 c
In many ways the game was typical United – a swashbuckling, exciting attacking display against a team who simply wouldn’t lie down. The near 70,000-strong crowd lapped it up. Now there’s a tremendous final in prospect. LDU Quito of Ecuador await – the shock winners of the Copa Libertadores who overcame some of the giants of South American football to reach this tournament. It will be quite a game. 曼联,曼联BT,曼联在线视频,曼联图片,曼联新闻,曼联论坛( s% w+ R* S4 p- S8 P( a1 \2 I
United’s popularity in Japan really has taken me aback. The club means so much to people over here. Fans wait patiently outside the hotel day and night in the hope of catching a glimpse of their heroes, and many of them have brought along gifts for the players. www.imanutd.com6 |! w' H5 }9 v" o( A
One set of fans handed me a bag of presents and begged me to give it to their favourite player. It was a really beautifully drawn caricature of the player along with a personal letter and several gifts, all wonderfully wrapped. The player? Was it Ronaldo, Rooney or Ferdinand? No. It was Rodrigo Possebon. The young Brazilian is not even part of the squad here and has hardly kicked a ball for the first team. Yet such is the depth of interest in United here, the fans know all about Rodrigo. - 专业·专注·曼联中文网站: [ @! W; q4 A4 q6 g
Even more amazingly, a couple of supporters had waited at the hotel all day in the hope of seeing MUTV’s very own Paddy Crerand! They gave him a traditional Japanese bowl that again was intricately wrapped - no guessing what Mrs Crerand is going to get for Christmas!专业曼联球迷网站,曼联球迷的地盘,为广大球迷提供最新曼联新闻与视频资源.) d5 p( _ B3 i$ }
