Silly History

Last nite Chicarito's goal against Everton was his 19th goal of the season, as many as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer netted in his first campaign in a Manchester United shirt – in 1996-97. Then, Manchester United won a disjointed Premier League with a low points total and were beaten by German opposition in a European Cup semi-final. A Dortmund side which like Schalke today, won four and drawn one of their six group games. However the biggest difference is that Dortmund was a mature side, dominating Bundesliga for three or four years and full of winning character like Paulo Sousa, Lars Ricken, Karl Heinz Riedl. While Rangnick's Schalke, apart from Raul, is simply not in the same bracket as Dortmund 1997. But still, a silly funny history which add some extra tension into tuesday game isn't it? I:D
