Park predicts United backlash
Ji-Sung Park insists United are still confident about reaching the Champions League semi-finals. United surrendered an early lead against Bayern Munich last night and Ivica Olic's injury-time winner means they will have to overturn a 2-1 deficit if they are to book a meeting with either Lyon or Bordeaux. Already English clubs have endured mixed results in similar situations this season. Whilst Arsenal came from behind to defeat Porto in the last round, Chelsea were unable to claw their way back against Inter Milan. And Park, who failed to impress as he did against AC Milan and Liverpool recently, accepts United will have a tough job at Old Trafford next Wednesday. Yet the South Korean is optimistic that his team can make it through, even though they could be without Wayne Rooney who suffered an ankle injury in the last minute of last night's match. We are disappointed because we were leading, said Park. The early goal was good for us but we weren't able to build on it and get the result. But we have our chance to go through at Old Trafford. Bayern have an experienced team, and the club has a proud history. They did well but the situation will be different at Old Trafford. We're waiting for them to come there.[LNB]
