If a picture can tell a
thousand words then the one
spread over two pages of
tonight’s match programme
描写するing Ryan Giggs’
winning goal against Lille two
weeks ago has served a 目的.
Far from feeling apologetic for the
manner in which Giggs’ quickly taken
解放する/自由な-kick gave Manchester 部隊d a 1-0
lead from the first 脚, Sir Alex Ferguson
and his players appear ready to take the
fight to Lille once more at Old Trafford.

As the French club arrived in the north
west yesterday still 非難するing 部隊d’s
支持者s for the 鎮圧する that developed
in the away section in レンズ, Ferguson
簡潔に overlooked 傷害 関心s to four
players ― Louis Saha, Paul Scholes,
Patrice Evra and Darren Fletcher ― to
continue the 厄介な 対話 he began
with Lille coach Claude Puel in the wake
of the first game.
Ferguson sa id: "The behaviour of Lille in
the first 脚 and their 態度 since
示すs this tie out as something different.
I know our guys will be strong but our
対抗者s have turned this match into
something that goes beyond normal
競争.
"They have 事実上 (刑事)被告 us of
cheating by taking a quick 解放する/自由な-kick,
にもかかわらず the fact that their players took
類似して 迅速な 活動/戦闘 on a number of
occasions.
"I believe that Lille should be looking
after themselves rather than 非難するing us
and I am sure that when the dust has settled
Lille’s 試みる/企てる to get their players to
walk off the pitch in 抗議する will worry
their coach for a long time to come.
"It certainly should, because I have
never seen anything like it before. And then to 控訴,上告 against the UEFA findings
that the goal should stand beggars belief
and just 注ぐs more 燃料 on what is
already an inflammatory 状況/情勢.
"More and more, Lille are 現在のing
themselves as a little club against a big
one who are いじめ(る)ing them. 必然的に that 姿勢 puts 圧力 on
a 審判(をする). 公式の/役人s are only
human."
A friend of Arsene Wenger,
Lille coach Puel was perhaps
never likely to 人物/姿/数字 on Ferguson’s
Christmas card 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる). After
his 出資/貢献 at a 圧力(をかける)
会議/協議会 last night, the
Frenchman will be lucky to get
so much as a handshake from
Ferguson on Wednesday night.
Rather than 申し込む/申し出 words of
調停, Puel 申し込む/申し出d a
議論の的になる 見解(をとる) of the 鎮圧する
伴う/関わるing 部隊d 支持者s
that 簡潔に 生き返らせるd memories
of the Hillsbrough 災害.
Puel said: "You can’t criticise
the organisation of Lille when
Manchester 部隊d fans were
violent and 所有するd 偽造の
tickets.
"But the facts are there for
people to see. It is difficult to
see where any of this is Lille’s
fault. Anyway the 関連した
当局 will 裁判官 this now.
"We have heard a lot of things
from Sir Alex Ferguson since
the first 脚 but this is always
what he does when he puts
圧力 on. It can’t have been pleasant for him to be knocked
out by Lille, a little club, last
year so maybe it is something
to do with this.
"This whole 状況/情勢 has been
created by Manchester 部隊d
and I am not 利益/興味d in it. In
フラン we are 利益/興味d in
尊敬(する)・点 between coaches and
teams but maybe that is not
the tradition in England."
For all Puel’s (人命などを)奪う,主張するs, the 問題/発行する
of Giggs’ goal has become an
obsession in フラン. Two
控訴,上告s to UEFA to have the
game replayed have failed and
yesterday 国家の coach
Raymond Domenech 警告するd
部隊d that "the English players
should watch out for themselves"
in the return 脚.
He said: "Lille’s players have
been filled with a sense of
unfairness and 反乱. That
could turn out to be a very
肯定的な emotion for them."
Ferguson and his squad have
remained phlegmatic about
the 問題/発行する. The 経営者/支配人
laughed on Tuesday and
示唆するd that his players
would happily 試みる/企てる a quick
解放する/自由な-kick again.
Giggs said: "All the fuss over
the goal in フラン won’t bother
me when I am on the pitch at
Old Trafford. I asked the
審判(をする) if I could take it quickly.
The 審判(をする) (機の)カム over and said
'Do you want the whistle?'
and I said 'No, I will take it
quickly'.
"I told Wayne Rooney to put
the ball 負かす/撃墜する and that was it. I
was pleased to see it go in. If it
hadn’t I probably would have
had a few sharp words from the
boss.
"The last time I 得点する/非難する/20d a goal
like that nobody thought
about walking off the pitch. I
was just amazed by what was
happening around us. I did not
know what was going on.
"If it is on I will ask the 審判(をする)
again. It does not 事柄 if
there is a fuss again. I am not
breaking the 支配するs so I would
do it again."
部隊d have 耐えるd their
fair 株 of 後退s in
Europe in 最近の years, 含むing
last season’s 失敗 to
reach the ノックアウト 行う/開催する/段階s, but
there is no 推論する/理由 why tonight
should bring another one.
MANCHESTER UNITED: (4-4-2) 先頭 der Sar; Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Heinze; Ronaldo, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs; Rooney, Larsson.
LILLE: (4-4-1-1) Sylva; Chalme, Tavlaridis, Plestan, Tafforeau; Keita, Makoun, Dumont, Bastos; Obraniak; Odemwingie.
