Wilshere tells Fergie to ‘get in their faces’ to unlock Barcelona

 Wilshere tells Fergie to ‘get in their faces’ to unlock BarcelonaLondon, May 27 : Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has told Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson that the key to unlocking Barcelona is to get in their faces.

Manchester United faces Barcelona in the Champions League final tomorrow.

Wilshere said: "The thing with Barca is three passes - bang, bang, bang - and they're through. So you have to get in their faces."

"You have to stop the players like Xavi, Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta who can just kill you," The Sun quoted him, as saying.

"But if you can get in their faces they ease off in the second half and you really have to go for them," Wilshere said.

"United have a better chance than we had. They have the likes of Ji-Sung Park and Antonio Valencia who are runners and can stop players. United should use just Wayne Rooney with Valencia and Park helping out behind them," he said.

"For most of it, though, they will be defending because that is what Barcelona make you do," Wilshere added. (ANI)
