Bienvenido Antonio Valencia!



"Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for me. I have enjoyed my time at Wigan but I am thrilled to have the chance to challenge for the biggest honours in club football here. Playing in front of 76,000 fans alongside players like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs will be an amazing experience. I can't wait to get started." - Antonio Valencia

Dan akhirnya setelah lama menunggu, terkuaklah pembelian pertama United di musim panas ini. Terlahir dengan nama Luis Antonio Valencia Mosquera pada 4 Agustus 1985, pemain yang lebih dikenal dengan nama Antonio Valencia akhirnya resmi menandatangani kontrak 4 tahun yang nilainya dirahasiakan, namun menurut berita diyakini sebesar 16 juta pounds.

Apakah dia bisa menggantikan peran Ronaldo? semua orang mempertanyakan hal itu, dan wajar mereka mempertanyakan karena Valencia sebenarnya belum terlalu dikenal luas. Namun Fergie ternyata telah memantaunya lama dan tentu pemain yang dilirik Fergie ini bukanlah pemain standar. Lihatlah bagaimana dia menjadi "Man of the Match" meskipun Wigan kalah 0-1 di Old Trafford.

Legenda United dari Dennis Irwin hingga Lou Macari mempercayai bahwa Valencia mempunyai kemampuan dan inilah saatnya dia berkembang. Dan tidak ada tempat yang lebih baik selain di United!

Kita nantikan saja kiprah Valencia, semoga cepat beradaptasi dan semua ekspektasi tinggi terhadapnya tidak menjadi beban.

Selamat datang..Bienvenido Antonio!

Sehelai bulu keberuntungan dan malam yang indah menghibur lara

Weekend ini adalah minggu yang penuh kekecewaan. Ada saja hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan terjadi. Dari urusan pribadi, keluarga dan hal-hal kecil lain yang tidak diharapkan, semuanya membuatku mengalami minggu penuh kegilaan. Yang membuat hatiku hanya bisa berteriak “Arghhhhh!!!!” Hampir saja lengkap minggu menyeramkan ini dengan hasil yang diraih United saat melawan Villa ketika masih tertinggal 2-1 dan waktu hanya tersisa kurang lebih 10 menit lagi. Akhirnya gol Ronnie menyamakan kedudukan dan membuat semua yang hadir di nonton bareng bersorak. Setelah itu semua larut dalam ketegangan kembali menanti gol kemenangan. Tak terasa waktu sudah memasuki injury time, semua peluang United dapat dimentahkan, bahkan yang paling membuat kecewa saat Wellbeck yang berhadapan dengan Friedel gagal menceploskan bola ke gawang. Kemenangan pun berpacu dengan waktu sampai akhirnya tiba waktu Macheda yang membuat semua penonton (aku yakin pendukung United di manapun akan meloncat kesenangan setelah 2 gam...

A lesson to learn : 1 - 6 for the noisy neighbour

Derby match is always excited. Especially after our noisy neighbour tryin really hard to improve themselves for the last 3 years. And ya, they did it this time. We had to admit that this time they were better sides compared to us. Rotation, red card, wasted chances, and other things are getting in our way to maximize the result. But there's no excuse, a lost is a lost. We should've done better especially we are playing in Old Trafford. Painful it is to see the result on the scoreboard. I hated the fact that we are losing but for the team, it is a lesson to learn, a shock therapy and they have to survive and bounce back. And not only City fans that cheering on our lost but the "anything but United"-ers specially gooners that has been hurt by the 8-2 lost. But all their hatred makes us stronger rite? that's United and the spirit we know. We are way much bigger than they all, so don't let them bugging us although several things has to be done to clear their a...
