Remember the name!!!


A star was born yesterday at "Theatre of Dreams". Is he a one hit wonder? Only time will tell. But, u ve to hand it to him for the sheer audacity and timing of it all.

United had lost back to back games in the league and they needed a response. In terms of the confidence factor, it was a must win game. But, with eight first team players not available due to injuries and suspensions and rest of them, just back from an international break. Things were not looking so good for United. For the first time in a long time, United on paper were looking weak.

United were losing the game 2-1 in the 60th minute. Sir Alex tells a 17 year old kid to just go out there and play your game. And play he did.

Sometime in the 70th minute Ronaldo does his usual bit of magic and levels the game for united.
United were surging forward for the winner with a wave of attacks, creating chances and missing them. Ryan Giggs passes the ball to the 17 year old kid at top of the box in the 93rd min (injury time), he does a Cruyff type flick and bends the ball into the top right hand corner for the winner. Thiery Henry would have been proud of that one.

Moment of heartbreaks at the Mersyside, Theatre of Dreams erupts. Forget the Theatre of Dreams, I was jumping up and down in my living room like a mad man screaming at the top of my voice. UNITED!UNITED!UNITED!!!!!

After game thoughts : Football!! Bloody Hell!!

PS : Remember tha name “Federico Macheda a.k.a Kiko”
