Lately, we could watch some pre-season football match in Indosiar..
what was broadcasted was about 2 teams that tightly competed last season.
Yeah, they are Manchester United and Chelsea.
Man Utd had their pre-season visiting South Africa for Vodacom Challenge with South African teams Kaizer Chief and Orlando Pirates.
This was 10th edition tournament held from 19 to 26 July 2008.
I could say that South Africa was very lucky cause they could invite Man Utd for that tournament.
Why??
Because for inviting Man Utd they had to asked and ordered 2 years before.
And this year, Man Utd was the DOUBLE WINNERS for Champions League and English Premier League!!!
WEWW.. who could expected this ??
Regretfully, we might not see Christiano Ronaldo, Nani, and Van der Sar, but many still other Man Utd star player that we might see.
This also could be a promotion for South Africa that will be the host of approaching FIFA World Cup 2010.
Man Utd won the tournament after In the final match defeated Kaizer Chief 4-0 with goals from Giggs, Rooney, Cleverly, and Campbell.
It’s not surprising result because their difference class.
Although 2 years ago Man Utd was defeated in a penalty shootout in same tournament, also with Kaizer Chief.
In the other side, Chelsea traveled to Asia to had friendly match with Guangzhou Pharmaceutical (China), Chengdu Blades (Hongkong), and met Malaysia Selection in Kuala Lumpur.
Then Chelsea will go to Russia for Railways Cup.
Chelsea brought almost all his players.
When I saw Chelsea vs Malaysia Selection, I’d just thought why Chelsea didn’t visit our country Indonesia??
The classical reason was only “we didn’t have money to invite them” HUHH….
Or might be “we had invited Bayer Muenchen 2 months ago” but… did u remember if they brought only 3 star players and many young players..
It didn’t truly meaning for us!!!
We may hope that one day we can invite one of famous football teams with almost their star players..
Gooo Gooo Indonesia !!!!
