THANK’S FOR EVERYTHING Sir ALEX

Shock and disbelief !

Yes, that's the feeling that arose in the time I knew a legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson named or commonly called Fergie decided to retire as coach of English giants Manchester United this season. A decision that really made the world shocked.

Initially I thought that the news is just a rumor buzzing each before the end of regular competition. But how shocked I was after finding out from a variety of sources and it turns out it is real news. I still do not believe. Grief came to me approached me. Naturally, since I was a fanatical Manchester United fan and I only know one figure loyal coaches who deal with the team since the first time I fell in love with this club to date. And he is Sir Alex Ferguson.

There is no figure of a coach himself faithful in modern times as it is today and that's what made him so respected by everyone. Naturally, if the world was shocked. Even the club's shares plummeted shortly after the announcement of his retirement. Sympathy was coming from those closest to the former protege, among footballers, other sports athletes and even the artists world. A fact which shows how the world is losing her figure. Especially all the people who worked at Manchester United and the fans.

Despite feeling lost but all parties continue to support the coach's decision who has given 38 title to Manchester United. Sir Alex also said that now is a good time to decide on retirement as Manchester United are top of achievements and all the players in good condition. It refers to the success of Manchester United’s 20 titles this season as well make it as a club with the most league titles.

Sir Alex was also another reason related to his retirement decision final this season. He said that this is the right time for him to spend more time with his family. It can be understandable, as he has trained over a period of 39 years. Indeed, during this period he has sacrificed a lot of time to gather with family, especially his wife, Cathy. Whatever the reasons given Fergie is still a legend.

Thank you for everything you've given to Manchester United and we the fans for nearly 27 years coaching. Thank you for the 38 championship trophies have you give to us. Thank you for all the time you've spent with us. Thank you for everything Sir Alex. We always love U.

INDONESIAN FOOTBALL "NOW"

Either should be with us much less words describe the condition of football in our beloved State. Day after day, week after week, even year after year has been changed, but not the performance that is present, but only a very difficult problem is difficult to be removed. Or maybe it will never go away and will continue to infect our football. 

Everyone knows that our national team is very poor in performance. Everyone knows that The Jak and Viking is an enemy that can not be united. But the condition of minimal national team accomplishments and unflagging dispute between The Jak and Viking is actually in worsening the problems that come in repeatedly. 

Initial problem comes when the "go around" Somebody build new competition outside the official competition, namely Indonesia Super League (ISL) with a reason to make independent clubs. The competition is called the Indonesia Premier League (IPL). It's nothing serious that arise when a new competition is the first time since they do not appear to be recognized. But after a new chairman is also the "go around" changing a competition then problems arise. 

How not, the public knows that the competition Indonesian Super League (ISL) is a competition that has long existed in this country. They all enjoyed the competition. But suddenly Indonesian Super League (ISL) at the "fox destiny" to be recognized competition. Indonesia Premier League (IPL) which was originally not on admit it into competition in the passes. In effect, all split into two, both the club and national team. This happens because the parties did not admit resistance to the party in power. And pemainlah that the "victim" of this ineptitude. I call it a blunder. Bigger problem came when FIFA will be sentenced to Indonesia due to the duality problem. 

Although in the end the penalty can be avoided because the two sides together, but that does not mean the problem of dualism and other issues ended. Even new problems emerge due to "blunders" is. Until now, any new issues are yet to be solved. I wonder who is to blame for everything that happens in football in this country. Because if we blame them all that is in the highest position of the governing body of football, they have a thousand reasons to defend himself. Maybe we just have to pray that they all will AWARE mistakes they have made. However, it seems that the prayers will be in vain if there is no real action. This is the fact that I feel and this is the opinion of the Indonesian Football Lovers.

THE 20th TITLE FROM PLAYER NUMBERED 20

Premier League title this season has certainly fallen into the hands of Manchester United even though the competition is not over. "The Red Devils" - the nickname of Manchester United - has ensured that the highest competition in the UK when it leaves 4 more games. United's 3-0 victory over Aston Villa to the Premier League title decider match 20th successful they won and they could take back to Old Trafford. This also happens because their nearest rivals Manchester City which will not be able to match and even surpass the points are in the can by the "Red Devil" - the nickname of Manchester United - although the direction of Roberto Mancini's squad won all the games remaining.

Behind the success of Manchester United's 20th trophy was a figure of public concern, he was Robin Van Persie. Players numbered 20 MU purchased from this Arsenal team's success transformed into a star in the 20th to win a trophy. Not just because of his goals, but also because of the action of his impressive debut season with Alex Ferguson's squad. MU goals victory over Aston Villa was everything in the entire stock by the Dutch players. He was at the peak while the Premier League Top Scorer with 25 goals. No one apparently if Fergie provide the number 20 to RVP when he joined United. Because this is the player who brought the team won the Premier League trophy 20th.

Manchester United have failed in the race for the FA Cup and the Champions League trophy this season, but the success of their 20th title in the Premier League title to make them into the most current collector. And it is not separated from the role players numbered 20. So, the 20th title has been confirmed by Robin Van Persie, players numbered 20. Glory Glory Man.United.
