Assalamualaikum and good morning . Well , last night was completely a thrilling moment for me . Not only for me but for all football lovers and specifically for Manchester United fans . It was Community Shield-derby match between Manchester United and Manchester City in Wembley . Not many teams can win a match when they were two goals down by their opponent especially with a packed of star players- team like Manchester City . But United has shown that it is not impossible if we have spirit and believe until the last minute .
Ferguson has already admitted to taking a gamble on David De Gea, who - at just 20 - is being asked to fill the boots of a man with twice his age in Edwin van der Sar . It had been accepted by Old Trafford's coaching staff that some work was required in the weights room for De Gea to have the best chance of dealing with the more physical nature of English football . His lack of bulk may be the reason why he opted against coming for Silva's teasing free-kick seven minutes before the break . Neither Vidic nor Rio Ferdinand got themselves in position to make a challenge and Lescott calmly flicked it into the corner . It got even worse for United , and De Gea , in stoppage time . Dzeko was given far too much room in midfield to decide what to do with James Milner's square pass and after advancing 10 yards, lashed a fine shot into the United net . It was two-nil in the first-half .
Ferguson's response was to replace three of his most senior players - Vidic , Ferdinand and Michael Carrick - at the break and introduce a trio of youngsters in Phil Jones , Jonny Evans and Tom Cleverley . Within six minutes of the restart , Smalling had dragged the champions back into it , touching home Young's free-kick after Dzeko had completely failed to track his run . Then came the equaliser , with Rooney , Nani and Cleverley opening City up with a devastating series of short passes before Nani beat Joe Hart with a delicate chip . De Gea showed his raw talent by beating away a ferocious goalbound effort from Adam Johnson , then palming Richards' powerful header over . Nani's injury-time goal settled a wonderful Community Shield as Manchester United roared back from two goals down .

This game has proven us that success will not come to us if we don't work and strive very hard until the last . We should take this for an example and inspiration for us to never give up despite of many trials and challenges involved in our path . Well , we would not succeed if we don't try and the word impossible is nothing . That's all . Thank you .

| Salute to them ! |
