This Sunday anniversary of the party is marked the 20 that began everything for Sir Alex Ferguson in the bench of the Manchester United FC. Before defeating to the FC Barcelona in the end of the Recopa of the UEFA in Rótterdam, the ' Network Evils' had been 23 years without raising an European title. That victory by 2-1 opened the faucet and since then more trophies have been obtained many.
" It was a great passage to the front, is no doubt of that. The tactical exposition of Barcelona in the end put the very difficult things to us in the first part. They played with two ends and without front center, and filled the center of the field with more players. Once we organized ourselves in the rest, we were better. It was one night wonderful for us ", said Ferguson to the official magazine of the club Inside United.
The 44,000 spectators of Of Kuip saw like the men directed by Johann Cruyff, between whom they were Michael Laudrup, Ronald Koeman and a great number of international Spaniards, could not hold the English pressure. The United went ahead in the 68 ' by means of Mark Hughes, who played before his ex- equipment and finished off a lack hurled by Steve Bruce.
Seven minutes later, the own Hughes did the second when beating to Carlos Busquets (father of Sergio). For want of ten minutes for the end, Koeman reduced distances with a lack launching. In spite of the expulsion of Nando, Barcelona continued tightening and had many occasions to obtain the tie. " They were the ten worse minutes of my life ", recognized Ferguson. But the United took the title and changed its luck.
Everything what had gained the United in the 20 years previous to that end of Holland was four FA Cups, including the one of the previous season. Since then, it has conquered other four, in addition to 13 titles of league, Supercopa of the two UEFA 1991 and the UEFA Champions League. It can add another one more if it defeats to Barcelona in the end that will dispute the 28 of May in London.
The present group of the club must much to those employees of 1991, who were the one who laid the the foundations of these recent successes. Ryan Giggs is been all these years in the equipment of Sir Alex Ferguson. If the United is able to win, will be people who remember the first time that both sets saw the faces in a continental end. But, how it would be now the European panorama if Clayton Blackmore had not removed that right ball in the line of goal 20 years ago?
