Ferguson praises Mourinho's tactics
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho found the perfect plan to beat Barcelona on Wednesday night.[LNB] Mourinho's Inter Milan defeated the Champions League holders over two legs, mainly thanks to their outstanding 3-1 win at the San Siro last week.[LNB]In Barcelona on Wednesday, Inter remained defensively strong, despite the first-half dismissal of Thiago Motta and thoroughly deserved to go through.[LNB]It was a reminder for Ferguson of the way his own side played against the Catalan giants at the same stage of the competition two seasons ago.[LNB]The Manchester United manager has always refused to reveal what went wrong in Rome 12 months later when the Red Devils were so comprehensively outplayed.[LNB]But, from Ferguson's own words, it appeared they drifted too far away from that initial masterplan.[LNB]"Inter were brilliant," he said. "They set their stall out very well and I couldn't see them losing the game.[LNB]"(Esteban) Cambiasso filled all the spaces. Inter let Barcelona cross the ball all the time and it was never a problem.[LNB]"We faced Barcelona two years ago and they didn't really create any chances against us either.[LNB]"I am sure there is a way to play against them."
