Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te kaiako o Manchester United o mua a Sir Alex Ferguson i whakaatu he aha ia i whakanui ai i a Cristiano Ronaldo i runga ake i a Lionel Messi i a ia e korero ana ki a John Parrott mo te anga o te snooker. Ko te kaiwhakahaere angitu i roto i te hitori o te whutupaoro o Ingarangi i korero ki a Parrott me te kaiwhakaari a Hazel Irvine hei waahanga o te purongo a te BBC mo te Whakataetae o te Ao i te Crucible. I whakaae a Ferguson kei te patai tonu ia 'ko wai te kaitakaro nui rawa atu o te ao?' i mua i te whakamarama he aha i kowhiria ai e ia tana kaitakaro United o mua mo te talisman o Barcelona. Ko te kaitākaro o mua o Manchester United a Sir Alex Ferguson (māui) e kōrero ana ki a John Parrott i runga i tētahi whiringa poikiri. He nui te wairua o te tangata 73-tau-tau i a ia e kōrero ana mō te whutupaoro me te snooker me te toa o te ao 1991.

'Kua rua nga waewae o Ronaldo, he tere, he pai ki te rangi, he toa hoki. 'Ki taku whakaaro he kaitākaro a Barcelona a Messi,' ka tāpiri atu ia. Ko te rangatira o mua o United kua mau tonu te hononga tata ki te whetu o Real Madrid i muri i to raatau ono tau i Old Trafford, a ko Ferguson te tohu i te Potukara i te taha o Ryan Giggs me Paul Scholes hei kaitakaro pai rawa atu i whakahaerehia e ia.

Ko te 73-tau te pakeke he kaiwhaiwhai snooker mai i te wa e tamariki ana ia, ka matakitaki i nga Toa o te Ao i ia tau, me te kohikohi i nga taonga snooker. I tae mai a Ferguson ki te purei i tana anga me te tohu i whakawhiwhia ki a ia e Ken Doherty i muri i tana 'whakarewatanga tuatahi' mai i te whutupaoro i te 2001 - ana ko te Scotsman ano hoki te huinga o nga poi e whakamahia ana e tana hoa a Dennis Taylor ki te wikitoria nui i te 1985 World Championships.

I hui a Sir Alex Ferguson ki a John Parrott mō tētahi whārangi o te pikinga hei wāhanga o te pūrongo o ngā Whakataetae o te Ao. I whakamārama te kaiwhakahaere o mua o Manchester United i te take i whakanuia ai e ia a Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo i runga ake i te rangatira o Barcelona a Lionel Messi. Ka whakaaturia hoki e Fergie me pēhea tana 'pakaru' i te kaitākaro o mua a Paul Ince i te pūkoro.
