will be competing on three fronts in February if they reach the FA Cup
fifth round by beating Spurs. The Reds'' stand-in skipper Ryan Giggs looks ahead to
hopefully busy times in England and in Europe...
The Champions
League games against Lyon will be tough – they’ve won
the French league for the last six years in a row so they’ve got plenty
of experience in Europe.
Perhaps they haven’t got the
players they had a few years ago but it
will be a difficult tie, no doubt, especially over there. The Stade
Garland is a hard place to go to.
The main thing for us is we feel
better prepared to compete on all
fronts this season. I think the attitude and temperament of the players
who we’ve brought in suit the European game. I don’t think
playing in
the Champions League will faze them, it hasn’t done so far. Hopefully
they will help us to go further this
year.
We were down to the bare bones when we faced a very good Milan team
in last year''s semi-final - we were playing the last few months of the
season with really only 13 or 14 players. Hopefully we can go into the
run-in this time with 20 players so the manager will be able to freshen
things up and we can cope better with any injuries.
Milan’s main aim was to
win the Champions League while we were
probably split on which was the better trophy to win because a lot of
our players hadn’t won the Premier League before. This year we’ll
hopefully be wiser for last year and the players who experienced that
disappointment in Milan will be helped by it.
