Manchester
United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson, was not pleased with Nani, after he
saw his side concede a last minute equaliser to Chelsea, in their
Capital One Cup game on Wednesday. The Portuguese lost the ball and
Chelsea broke away and earned a penalty, which Hazard calmly rolled into
the net. United went on to lose the game 4-5 in extra time.
“We
gave the ball away for the third goal having been in complete control
of the match at that point,” Ferguson told Sky Sports 1. “All we needed
to do was see the game out with good possession.
“Nani is experienced but he’s a player who wants to beat men and I often discourage him from that.
“In that situation, if we’d kept the ball at the corner flag, the game’s over.
Ferguson
also bemoaned his side’s profligacy and inability to take their
chances, while praising the home side’s counter-attacking.
“We
had a lot of attacks and nothing came of them, and their counter-attack
was very good, but if you’re winning 3-2 in the final seconds of the
game then you should see it out,” he said. “We’ve only got ourselves to
blame really.
“They’re at home, you’d expect them to attack and they did.
“The way we approach games is always wanting to win, so you were always going to get an open game.”
