Manchester (B2B) - Ryan Giggs, pelatih sementara Manchester United mengaku tidak bisa tidur pada malam sebelum laga melawan Norwich City yang dimenangi United dengan skor telak 4-0.
"Tidak memainkan pemain adalah bagian paling berat. Saya tak pernah melakukan itu sebelumnya, tetapi saya telah memilih tim yang saya anggap bisa memenangi pertandingan," kata Giggs seperti dikutip The Guardian.
Salah satu pemain yang tidak dimainkan sebagai starter adalah Juan Mata kendati kemudian diturunkan pada babak kedua dan mencetak dua gol.
"Juan kecewa ditinggalkan (sebagai pemain cadangan), dan saya sudah mengira itu, namun dia profesional mengenai ini dan ketika dia masuk dia menunjukkan kelasnya," kata Giggs.
Manchester - Ryan Giggs claimed the reception Old Trafford gave him as Manchester United manager made him feel "10 feet tall", then admitted he was unable to sleep the night before the 4-0 win against Norwich through worrying about his team selection.
"Leaving out players was the hardest part," United´s interim manager said. "I´d never had to do that before, but I picked a team I thought could win the game."
One of the players Giggs left out was Juan Mata, United´s record signing at £37m, though he came on for the last half-hour and scored twice so everyone was happy.
"I think as a manager a win comes as more of a relief," Giggs said. "Juan was disappointed to be left out, and I expected that, but he was professional about it and when he came on he showed his class. He put on a half-hour masterclass."
