European Cup winner Alex Stepney does not believe Manchester United have to follow the Italian route to success.
Stepney watched AC Milan overcome Juventus in a penalty shoot-out at Old Trafford on Wednesday night in a match which paled alongside United's thrilling 4-3 win over Real Madrid at the quarter-final stage. And while the former United goalkeeper thinks there are some lessons to be learned when it comes to defending in away games, he cannot see Sir Alex Ferguson ever adopting the approach which led to a goalless 120 minutes last night. "The Italians have a certain way of playing and you will never change that,'' said Stepney. "Even in the last couple of minutes last night, both teams were knocking the ball around, quite happy to settle for 0-0 and take their chances in the penalties. "Their first priority has always been to stop the other team scoring rather than try to get one themselves. "It doesn't seem to matter about the style of play or the crowd who are coming to watch but I don't think the fans over here would respond to the same kind of attitude.'' __________________________________________________ Yahoo!
