Man Utd's Ronaldo: We let Chelsea off hook

tribalfooball.com - November 27, 2006

Manchester United wing ace Cristiano Ronaldo feels they let two points slip after Sunday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea.
He said: "I feel like we ended up with two points lost after our exhibition and the chances we created.


"We played better and because of that this draw leaves a bitter taste."

Ronaldo believed United were heading for a six-point lead over Chelsea after Louis Saha?s stunning strike put them ahead.

Ricardo Carvalho ruined Ronaldo?s day by levelling for the reigning champions.

But Ronaldo insists United?s stars must stay positive - and they have the consolation of still having a three-point advantage over Chelsea.

He added: "This was a good chance to increase the gap to six points.

"It wasn?t possible, but also we didn?t lose and that was very important. Therefore we kept our advantage at three points and that is also good.

"I had a good game like the whole team, which did well enough. On balance it?s positive and most of the players are at a good level."

Ronaldo is convinced Alex Ferguson?s side are still on course in their bid to wrestle the title away from Chelsea.

He added: "We have a great chance of winning the title. We are on the right track."
