Pique: We've Got What It Takes
西班牙年輕後衛Pique相信現在的預備隊有足夠的能力，
像九二黃金一樣在一隊大放光彩。
Spanish prodigy Gerard Pique is confident United's current batch of
youngsters can flood the first team in years to come.
The club's youth system has always yielded dividends,
never moreso than the much-famed 'Class of '92' from which
Giggs, Scholes, Beckham, Butt and the Neville brothers graduated into
the first team together.
And 18-year-old defender Pique feels the current crop of
burgeoning talent has the wherewithal to emulate that feat.
He told United magazine: "It is very special to keep playing with
the same players.
"It would be nice if in a few years time there are four or five of us
playing in the first team, just like in 1992 when Giggsy, Scholesy
and Gary Neville went up together.
"And I think we have the players to do that at the moment,
if we keep working hard."
Pique came on as a second-half substitute in United's Carling Cup
fourth round win over West Brom, a result achieved with a surprisingly
experienced team.
However, if Sir Alex Ferguson opts to field a more youthful side
in the quarter-final and beyond, Gerard is adamant he and his young cohorts
have what it takes to make progress.
"I think we have some good youngsters," he said. "I don't know
if the boss will keep playing the same team in the competition
but I hope he does play some young players because I think
we're good enough to keep winning."
