DBasia.news – Paul Scholes, a Manchester United legend, heated up the rivalry with Liverpool and judged the achievement of the Club World Cup title was not something big.
Liverpool added to the trophy collection for three years through the 2019 Club World Cup title. The Reds won 1-0 over Flamengo in the final and the title came after the 2018-19 Champions League and European Super Cup.
Scholes won him with Man United in 2008 after the club won the double winners of the Premier League and Champions League titles in the Sir Alex Ferguson era. According to him, the Man United players, who are in the squad, will not mention the achievement of the Club World Cup title when remembering that year.
“Well, you want to win it (Club World Cup) when you are there, but I don’t think that is something we really want to win,” Paul Scholes said.
“Even now if someone says to you ‘What trophies have you won all year?’ “I think we (United’s squad in 2008) will mention the Club World Cup. I really didn’t do it. I’m not kidding, I’m serious!”
“But do you know, this is like everything else, it (the Club World Cup tournament) will look far more important over the years.”
“It looks like Liverpool are enjoying it, they are celebrating and maybe they will mention it and why not – but I think, when we play it it’s not that serious,” explained Scholes.
Furthermore, according to the winner of 11 Premier League titles and two Champions League titles, the Club World Cup title is not a priority for players to pursue. Scholes assess the trophies won by his badminton club (badminton) better than the title.
“My badminton trophy!” Scholes said briefly when asked about the more important trophy between the Club World Cup title and his badminton club trophy.
“But right now you are looking back, I think you are quite happy, but that, I think, is not something that you are targeting as a player,” he explained.
