Michael Owen Is Proving To Be A Worthy Free Signing For Man United !

When he was free and available , no one bid an eyelid or even bothered to make any attempt to try to sign him from relegated club Newcastle United , with every club already starting to write him off and deemed him to be surplus to the club’s requirements and therefore all tried to stay away from the player as far as possible . All except one man – Sir Alex Ferguson ! Only he was brave enough and dared to take a gamble and signed Michael Owen for free .
Now after four Pre – Season Friendly Matches , Owen is proving to be a worthy purchase after scoring four goals for his new club and in the process , seemed to have managed to resurrect his career from the doldrums all Thanks to the wily Scotsman . While many others were oblivious to the potential that Owen still does possess , only Sir Alex managed to see some value and positives in the man who spent more of his time off the field , on the sidelines nursing his injuries than playing soccer on the pitch .
A Season that saw him plagued by injuries and eventually hampered his chances of playing for the England National Team , Owen is now determined to prove all his critics wrong by joining a club which he knows will surely allow him to perform to his best ability and regain his match fitness once again and to the true potential of the player he once was . His four goals in Man United Pre – Season Asia Tour so far is already testament of that .
Scoring two goals in the two matches against the Malaysia XI Side , and twice in the same match itself against Hangzhou Greentown in China , averaging almost a goal a game whenever he plays , must have certainly brought smiles on the faces of his new Manager Sir Alex Ferguson as well as his new teammates and fans . Though the New EPL Season has not yet started , but if Owen could keep up on his scoring form and keep on scoring like he is doing right now when the EPL Season begins and eventually starts to help Man United win some silverware in the coming New Season , then the person having the last laugh of it all must surely have been Sir Alex Ferguson ! For he knows that he had come up with a masterstroke of a genius and managed to pull off a major transfer coup without even having to pay a single cent for his services at all when everyone else hesitated !
Trust him to be smiling & grinning from ear to ear silently in his heart when that really happens ! With the departures of Cristiano Ronaldo ( to Real Madrid ) and Carlos Tevez ( to Man City ) , Michael Owen is surely a star player to look out for in the Man United ranks this Season in the EPL !
AC Milan – A Club Currently in Crisis !
If last night’s results and performances in the Audi Cup ( which they lost 4-1 to Bayern Munich ) is anything to go by , then AC Milan will surely find the going ahead of them even tougher when the new Italian Serie A Season kicks off end of next month . Following their latest defeat last night , this is already the club’s fourth straight defeat in their Pre – Season Friendly Matches after earlier defeats to EPL powerhouse Chelsea , Milan city rival – Inter Milan and Club America in the US .
Together with their 4 -1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup Semi Final Match last night , and earlier losses to Chelsea ( 2 -1 ) , Inter Milan ( 2 – 0 ) and Club America ( 2 -1 ) in their Pre – Season Tour of the US in the World Football Challenge Tournament , it seems that the depatures of Brazillian striker Kaka ( to Real Madrid ) , coach Carlos Ancoletti ( to Chelsea ) & David Beckham ( to LA Galaxy ) after his loan spell with the club ended last Season has certainly hit the club really hard !
Relying very much on the two Brazillians – Ronaldinho and even Pato to fill the void left by the mega stars , it seems that all the goings of the club has put a very deep impact on the club and it seems that the club is already facing a ‘ mini crisis ‘ even before the New Italian Serie A Season has even started ! The performances of the club in their Pre – Season Friendlies has certainly got everyone in the club – from the manager to the players as well as the fans worrying indeed !
Now with their latest defeat to Bayern Munich last night where they conceded two late goals in very quick succession in the last two minutes of play , resulting in an eventual embarrassing 4 -1 defeat to the hosts , the only consolation for the club now , perhaps at this moment , where the morale of the players and the team is at a real low is to win Tonight’s Third Place Playoff Match against Argentine club Boca Juniors ! But it is easier said than done .
A victory Tonight , may not necessary have landed themselves the prestigious Audi Cup Throphy for their efforts , but will surely be a welcome consolation for the whole team as a postive result after a series of setbacks , losses and defeats will definitely go a very long way to lifting the sprits of the whole team and the players’ morale . Hopefully , this will prove to be indeed a real turning point for the better in the club’s fortunes as the club enters the most crucial period of Pre – Season preparations with the new Italian Serie A League Season just exactly a month away . Another defeat however , and the consequences will be seriously unthinkable and would surely bring about really dire repercussions to the club as a whole !
* Catch AC Milan vs Boca Juniors in the Audi Cup 2009 Third Placing Playoff Match TONIGHT LIVE & EXCLUSIVE On Indonesian RCTI Channel at 12.30am ( Singapore Time ) . *
