Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez shunned credit on Saturday, saying that the team’s efforts were the reason that United won against Everton at Old Trafford, and not his personal contribution. The Mexican striker headed-in Antonio Valencia’s cross on 84 minutes, putting The Red Devils on the brink of Premier League success…
Chicharito had many opportunities to put United ahead against Everton over the weekend, including inadvertently blocking a certain Luis Nani goal. However, the 22-year-old Mexican hitman put that behind him to head Antonio Valencia’s cross into the back of the net on 84 minutes, winning the game for The Reds in trademark, dramatically late fashion. United are now 6 points ahead of Chelsea, and 9 points ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League.
“There was a little bit of frustration, but you need to keep going in the next play, and the next, and the next, because you can’t stay there only thinking ‘I missed it’, you need to be ready for the next one.” Hernandez told MUTV. “Thankfully the goal came and near the last minute. For 90 minutes we kept going and kept going because we wanted the goal, wanted the three points as soon as possible.”
“We keep going, keep working and it was a difficult day also because it was hotter and that made us a little bit more tired. But the history of Manchester United is like this – we can score in the first minute and also the last minute. It’s the only thing we have in our mind and thankfully we got it (the win). It’s unbelievable because we know the importance of these three points because we need to get all the points we possibly can because we can win the league. This is the key part of the season, we have Schalke then the two games against Arsenal and Chelsea.”
Chicha added: “It’s very important. Here the thing always in our mind is that we have to win, we need that three points. It doesn’t matter who scores. We’re going into big games now and even defenders can score and we can win – that’s the most important thing here. We think always that the team is the most important thing. We don’t need to be selfish and think only of scoring.”
