Yakin Kagawa Sukses di United

MANCHESTER - Gelandang Manchester United Park Ji Sung optimistis bahwa Shinji Kagawa dapat meraih sukses bila bergabung dengan timnya. Park meyakini hal ini dikarenakan tahu betul kualitas bagus yang dimiliki Kagawa.

Gelandang asal Jepang yang membela Borussia Dortmund itu memang tengah menjadi incaran banyak klub papan atas Eropa. United adalah salah satu peminat serius Kagawa yang baru saja membawa Dortmund meraih juara Bundesliga dan DFB Pokal.

“Kagawa sudah memiliki pengalaman di Eropa dan memiliki kualitas bagus. Bila dia datang ke United saya kira dia akan bermain bagus,” tutur Park, seperti disitat dari Goal, Jumat (18/5/2012).

Park juga mengungkapkan dirinya merasa kecewa dengan kegagalan United yang gagal meraih gelar juara Premier League. Gelandang asal Korea Selatan itu juga mengaku ingin mengakhiri karir di skuad Iblis Merah.

“Musim ini mengecewakan, tetapi masa lalu tetaplah masa lalu, saya akan fokus dengan apa yang harus dilakukan. Benar bahwa saya ingin pensiun di United, tetapi itu tidak hanya tergantung pada saya,” paparnya.

Musim kompetisi Premier League telah berakhir dan pemain berusia 31 tahun itu mengungkapkan keinginannya dengan menyatakan,”Musim ini telah berakhir sekarang, saya hanya ingin beristirahat tanpa memikirkan apapun.”

Prediksi skor Manchester City vs Manchester United

Prediksi score pertandingan Man.City vs Man.United. Hasil dua derby Manchester terakhir dipengaruhi ketidakdisiplinan lawan. Tidak heran Roberto Mancini dan Sir Alex Ferguson menekankan pasukan masing-masing agar tidak ceroboh dalam bertahan.Manchester City (Man City) mempermalukan Manchester United (MU) 6-1 pada pertemuan pertama Liga Primer di Old Trafford,Oktober tahun lalu.Sorotan tertuju pada kehebatan lini depan The CItizens—julukan Man City—yang sukses berpesta gol di kandang rival sekotanya tersebut.Namun,tidak banyak yang ingat saat itu MU kehilangan satu pemain.Jonny Evans diusir wasit pada menit ke-47 kala timnya masih tertinggal 0-1.

Insiden kartu merah kembali mewarnai pertarungan kedua klub pada babak III Piala FA di Etihad,Januari lalu.Kali ini giliran Man City yang menderita.Vincent Kompany dikeluarkan menyusul tekelnya terhadap Nani.MU,yang ketika itu sudah memimpin 1-0,kemudian mempertahankan keunggulan dan membawa pulang kemenangan 3-2. Statistik ini tidak pelak menjadi perhatian Mancini dan Ferguson sebelum memutuskan siapa yang bermain pada derbydi Etihad, besok.Uniknya,Mancini justru berencana berjudi. Menurut laporan berbagai media Inggris,dia berencana mengandalkan Mario Balotelli yang baru bebas sanksi larangan bermain.

Kebijakan Mancini ini jelas berisiko. Maklum,Balotelli merupakan pengoleksi kartu merah terbanyak Man City di Liga Primer (2).Striker bengal itu pun pernah terkena sanksi tambahan menyusul aksinya menendang kepala gelandang Tottenham Hotspur Scott Parker. ”Walau kerap bertindak bodoh,Balotelli juga sering berkontribusi besar.Contohnya, dua golnya di Old Trafford.Saya memang belum mengambil keputusan pasti.Yang jelas,tidak ada masalah cedera berarti dan saya bakal menetapkan tim sehari sebelum laga,”ungkap Mancini,dilansir Daily Mail.

Man City merupakan salah satu tim terbaik pada tabel disiplin Liga Primer. Mereka berada di peringkat 6 karena mendulang 44 kartu kuning dan lima kartu merah.Sementara MU mengoleksi 45 kartu kuning dan satu kartu merah. Kendali derbynanti terletak pada pundak Andre Marriner.Pengadil berusia 41 tahun itu mengerti tingginya tensi pertandingan nanti setelah memimpin duel kedua klub di Theatre of Dreams musim lalu. Namun,inilah pertama kali dia menangani laga Man City pada musim 2011/2012. Dalam tiga edisi terakhir,Marriner sudah bekerja di tujuh pertandingan Man City.

Dia hanya memberi satu kartu merah bagi The Citizens,yakni Aleksandar Kolarov saat laga melawan Bolton Wanderers (Desember 2010).Rekor Man City di bawah Marriner adalah menang empat, sekali imbang,dan dua kalah. Pada periode sama,Marriner telah memimpin sembilan partai MU.Dia memberi kartu merah bagi tiga pemain,yakni Paul Scholes (vs Tottenham Hotspur,September 2009),Nemanja Vidic (vs Liverpool, Oktober 2009), dan Evans (vs Bolton,Maret 2011). Performa MU selama ditangani Marriner berupa tujuh kemenangan serta masing-masing sekali imbang dan kalah.

Manchester United Kembali Bertemu Barcelona di Final Liga Champions

Final Liga Champions dua tahun lalu akan terulang kembali. Namun kali ini bukan di Roma, melainkan Stadion Wembley yang akan menggelar pertandingan antar Manchester United dan Barcelona, tanggal 28 Mei 2011 mendatang.

Manchester United melangkah ke final, setelah unggul 4-1 atas Schalke 04 pada leg ke 2 Semifinal Liga Champions di Old Trafford dini hari tadi. Pada leg pertama MU unggul 2-0, sehingga secara agregat MU unggul 6-1.

Pada pertandingan sebelumnya Barcelona berhasil membalas kekalahan di Copa del Rey kepada Real Madrid. Namun pertandingan antara Barcelona dan Real Madrid, yang merupakan ‘el clasico’ ke sekian dalam beberapa pekan terakhir diwarnai insiden tidak menyenangkan , yang berujung pada kartu merah untuk ke dua pihak.

Meskipun harus begadang untuk menentukan siapa saja dari anak-anak asuhannya yang akan maju menghadapi Schalke, Alex Ferguson berbangga hati karena pemain lapis ke dua pun mampu memberikan poin penting. Darren Gibson dan Anderson layak mendapat pujian karena bermain apik, dan mampu membobol gawang Schalke.

Saat ini Alex Ferguson harus berpikir keras, tidak hanya untuk menebus kekalahan atas Barcelona pada final Liga Champion dua tahun lalu. Tetapi juga harus menghadapi Chelsea tanggal 8 Mei 2011 pada lanjutan Liga Primer, yang merupakan titik krusial dalam upayanya meraih trophy ke 19 Liga Primer. Bagaimana tidak, sekalipun saat ini masih bertengger di puncak klasemen, dan Chelsea pada posisi ke 2, mereka hanya terpaut 3 poin.

Shinji Kagawa Absen Di Latihan Perdana Manchester United

Manchester United akan memulai latihan pra-musim mereka tanpa kehadiran pemain baru asal Jepang, Shinji Kagawa, karena izin kerjanya masih tertahan di Filipina.

Mantan gelandang Borussia Dortmund tersebut telah mendapatkan izin kerja tetapi dokumennya masih berada di kota Manila, dan hal tersebut membuatnya tidak dapat berlatih, meskipun United berharap masalah tersebut dapat diatasi dalam 24 jam.

Seperti yang diketahui, Kagawa begabung ke Old Trafford bulan lalu dari Dortmund dengan banderol £13 juta, dengan durasi kontrak selama empat tahun. Kagawa juga telah dipersiapkan untuk mengikuti tur pra-musim ke Cina dan Afrika Selatan.

Pemain berusia 23 tahun tersebut akan mengenakan nomor punggung 26, sementara rekrutan lainnya, yaitu Nick Powell akan memakai nomor 25.
