Like Ferguson, Scolari has given Ronaldo free rein to be wherever he wants to be on the pitch, preferably up front. Deco played amazing long balls to Nuno Gomes, Ronaldo and Moutinho the whole match, and was generally the Carrick-esque engine of the Portugal side. An OK game, to say the least Deco in fact did play a good game, in Scolari’s strategy, he is more the player who links the defense to the midfield, and plays more defensively than Ronaldo.

I have heard Ferguson in an interview admit to exactly that happening plus Giggs also said so in an interview as he was the loudest proponent in getting Fergie to sign him. But I do agree that I'm sure he was aware of the player however, I don't think he knew just how good he was until he saw him play against us live. So you don't have to believe me, it came out of Fergie's and Giggs own mouths. Craig; Ballack was a colossal fool to go to Chelsea but it looks like at the end of a long battle for fitness and his original rift with Mourinho, he is the king of the candy store now. He not only has the team's support and respect but Chelsea fans absolutely adore him. Still, he would have been awesome from day one with United and probably would not have sustained the foot injury that put him out for 6 months. Lets put it this way, he made a big mistake because of two factors. First we could have used him more properly and more often than Chelsea, and second, picking Chelsea over United was just dumb as hell and a show of bad taste. Beckenbauer wasn't the only one who let him have it. Low, Klinsmann and even many of his German teammates were dumbfounded to understand why he chose a team that already had a player like Frank Lampard in his way. Go figure! Tevez; I agree that Fergie will no longer buy a player based on his performance in a tournament but also, the team's scouting is much larger and more sophisticated than in past years. I think he has his eyes out for certain players like Arshavin, Huntelaar, Benzema as is normal but he's looking for diamonds in the rough like Clemens Fritz' performance today. For a manager looking for RB's or a RMF he can have a look at that player and then ask his scouts to line up video of Fritz with Werder Bremen and examine the player more closely. Still, it's hard to really care when you are vacationing in France. Ah Heck, the Gaffer deserves a break. Just hope all the good candies aren't taken by the time he returns. :) Nino and Tevez; Whether you are in denial or not, it’s not a bullshit story.
