Manchester United midfielder Anderson acknowledges that tonight's encounter with Benfica could
be the most difficult fixture for Sir Alex Ferguson's men thus far in the season.
Anderson rose to prominence during an impressive stint with FC Porto and although a reunion with
former rivals Benfica excites the Brazilian, he understands that the Portuguese outfit has
strengthened ever since his departure for Old Trafford in 2007.
So it's Matchday 2 of the Champions League today and some key match-ups include City/Napoli,
Villarreal/Bayern and this one, featuring a solemn-looking Anderson. Ah, why did
Man United chose him to sit the press conference with Sir Alex? Players are
occasionally picked according to a 'roster' but this time they chose him because he was better
suited for the Portuguese press!
Waiting is for pussies.
Just five weeks into the new season, Andre Villas-Boas' sexy is set to invade the Terrordome.
Football's equivalent of Cary Grant brings with him 450 minutes of competitive managerial
experience with the Chels. Surely that's more than enough to match wits and tailors with one of the
greatest to ever grace a sideline.
FC Basel's warm-up mats are ridiculously organized but they won't know it from
down there! Anyway, before you write off the Swiss side's chances completely against powerhouses
Man United later today, listen to what coach Thorsten Fink has to say. Sure, he
sounds like the ice-cream man who knows he is running out of cones, but in football, there
are always waffle, chocolate cones, cups, etc.
