On
Michael Owen playing for England in South Africa
“Fabio has said himself, performance is the only thing
that matters,” , If Michael is going to get to the World Cup
it will be through his performance and I think Wednesday
helps him.
“There is a view that he will not have played enough games.
But he will play a sufficient number to be considered.
“That is the best chance he has got. That is all he can hope
for.”
On Owen in the Wolfsburg game
“It was vintage
Michael Owen,” said Ferguson.
“He had the cleverness to cut across the defender, forcing
him to think about whether to bring him down, which would
have meant a penalty and a red card.
“The guy could not afford to tackle him because at that
point, Wolfsburg were still in the Champions League.
“The goalkeeper came out but Michael waited and chipped him
when he went down. It was brilliant.”
On Vidic
Villa have
two big lads up front in Emile Heskey and John Carew, but
Nemanja Vidic is the one player who can cope with all that -
we're delighted that he's back
