Fergie: Giggs will face Pompey
2/12/05 12:11 PM
Giggs Returns For Pompey Clash
因頰骨破裂缺陣七個星期的威爾士王子Giggs確定在今晚的比賽復出！
Sir Alex表示，目前還不確定Giggs會先發或是替補上場，
但有鑑於下週三（台灣時間週四凌晨三點半）關鍵的歐冠作客本菲卡，
歐冠經驗豐富的Giggs絕對會在今晚比賽好好調整狀態。
從主場勝Chelsea之後，曼聯累積了英超連續三場勝利，
Sir Alex說：
「我認為我們度過了一段辛苦的時光，陣中的年輕男孩們必須表現出男人的水平。
現在資深的球員，如Giggs、Gary、Saha紛紛逐漸回歸，
這給了我讓年輕球員休息的機會，他們擔負重責大任太久了。」 (真是慈愛體貼 :P)
來到老特拉福的Portsmouth最近內部問題重重，
目前還沒有主教練的Pompey將希望能用賽場的表現平衡管理階層的動盪不安。
Fergie認為這能仍是場艱難的比賽，
Portsmouth將和他們作客Liverpool時一樣排出五人中場，鞏固防守。
對於謠言滿天、眾說紛紜的Portsmouth繼任主教練人選
Sir Alex說：
「通常我這邊會聽到些小道消息，知道事情大概走向，
現在被點名的人實在太多了，我實在講不出到底誰會接手！」 :P
Ryan Giggs will play some part against Portsmouth on Saturday
after a seven-week absence with a fractured cheekbone.
The Welsh veteran suffered the horrific blow in October against Lille,
but has now been rested long enough to return to action.
Speaking at his pre-game press conference, Sir Alex Ferguson revealed:
"He'll be involved tomorrow without question.
Whether he starts or comes on is a matter of consideration
but he will certainly be involved."
Giggs' return is a huge boost to the Scot not just going into
another vital Premiership game, but also next week's crucial
make-or-break Champions League tie with Benfica.
"We've an important game on Wednesday in Benfica
and I think it's vital Ryan gets some minutes on the clock," he admitted.
On the back of three consecutive Premiership wins,
and with experienced players like Giggs, Gary Neville and Louis Saha
gradually returning to the fold, Ferguson can now begin resting
the younger players who have deputised in their absence.
"I think we had a difficult period when we had young players
trying to do the job of men," he said. "Now having experienced players back
gives me an opportunity to rest some of these young players
who have been carrying the burden for so long."
Portsmouth visit Old Trafford managerless, moored in the Premiership
relegation zone and amid a frenzy of media speculation over
the eventual successor to the recently-departed Alain Perrin.
However, Sir Alex insists that the visitors' plight is an irrelevance
and still expects a tough game.
"They're fighting for their lives and you think that they'll be
focusing on the game," he said.
"Joe Jordan, who has been in charge this week, will have a job of
balancing all the things that have been said in the papers
with focusing on the match. That's not easy, but we still have a job to do.
"They'll come, they'll play five across the midfield like they did
in their last away game at Liverpool and they'll try and prove hard to beat."
With a host of contenders linked to the Fratton Park hotseat
including former boss Harry Redknapp, Ferguson isn't prepared to
predict who will end up taking the reins.
He admitted: "Normally we get a few titbits here and get to know things
that are happening but there's been that much speculation over this job
that I just couldn't tell you who's getting it!"
