Ronaldo aims to clinch his side’s first win at Emirates
November 7, 2008
Portuguese winger, Cristiano Ronaldo, feels Manchester United must strain every nerve to strengthen their hopes for winning against Arsenal on Saturday.
In shaping up United’s trip to Emirates Stadium, the attention has been mainly on an injury-hit side of Arsene Wenger.
Red Devils has already dropped important points against Everton & Newcastle. Ronaldo feels that Sir Alex Ferguson’s men have much to prove for shortening the distance to get a hat-trick of Premier League title.
He said that in order to win the title, they have to get three points against the London Club.
While speaking in an interview, Ronaldo said, ‘I am unaware of the fact that whether it is tough for our rival at this moment or not. However as both the teams have same number of players, it has to be difficult as always.’
United almost came out victorious in one of their matches at Emirates, which ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw.
In his statement, Ronaldo paid due respect to the spirit of Gunners and admitted that he cannot find any reason for Arsenal’s poor performance in second half to stay the way it is right now.
He added ‘This was exactly what came in their way in the previous season or else, they would have ended up on a high.’
‘May be this time, just the opposite happens and they (Arsenal) would lose points in the beginning and win the same in the ultimate bit of the session.’
Red Devils will be looking forward to score a win at Emirates, so that they can continue their bid for the title. If their performance in the second half of the Champions League game against Celtic was anything to go by, then Gunners should know that they have another tough battle in hand.
