UnitedNorge – En Manchester United-blogg

Darren Fletcher har hatt en bra sesong så langt i år, kanskje hans beste noensinne i den røde trøya.Vi husker alle hvordan han og Giggs kledde av Chelseas midtbane. Men som så mange ganger før «Fergie got it right», som vanlig.

«People thought he had gone mad that day but he knew what he was doing. I’ve played against Ryan in training and his skill as a central midfielder is that he turns the opposing central midfield player into a right back. Nobody in that position runs at you. A central midfielder gets the ball and looks to play it wide, or beyond to the striker. Ryan gets it and dribbles and that makes you uncomfortable, thinking: this isn’t what I’m supposed to do, this is not how I defend.»

I samme intervju røper Fletcher at Fergusons skotske patriotisme står sterkt – noe som ikke alltid er like positivt for vår skotske midtbaneterrier.

«He is just one of those guys who is very patriotic about Scotland. Any Scottish team, any Scottish sportsman. It puts a lot of pressure on me, actually, all these little side bets he puts on during international week. Nothing like going off to play France, with the manager shouting ‘if you lose, don’t come back’ after you.»
