Manchester United in Urawa. 2 - 2
Although the match was the introduction of Manchester United new
season, the team and players are better prepared compared with
Europe clubs visited Japan to prepare the new season.
Japanese fans thanked United's serious effort.
The audience in Saitama Stadium was sold out 58,000 shaw the
popularity of United, as Bayern Muchen of the same situation sold
only 30,000 tickets last year.
(see last year record
in datacenter.)
Fans enjoyed Ronald's technique and Rooney's persistence to the ball, but
it was amazing that ALL players are very fast in speed especially for the
retreat (I finally understood the reason Sir Alex let Beckham go).
Uchidate's swerved shot was surprizing even for local supporters. As four
most important defence player were absent for Urawa, their system hold the
United's offence in the first half and I was happy for that.
United: Van der Sar, Brown, Ferdinand (Evans, 45), Vidic (Simpson,
45), Evra (Silvestre, 45), Ronaldo, Fletcher, Carrick (O'Shea, 69),
Giggs (Smith, 69), Scholes, Rooney Subs: Kuszczak, Heaton, Bardsley
