Lille goalkeeper Tony Sylva says Manchester United winger Cristiano
Ronaldo isn't a patch on Chelsea star Didier Drogba.
Ahead of their Champions League clash, Sylva said: "Cristiano
Ronaldo today is playing very well and he is the star of their
team. But for me he is not the best player in England. I know
Didier Drogba well and he is a much more complete player in attack
than Ronaldo.
"Mentally we are ready to spring a big surprise in this match. We
do not fear Manchester United. They are better than last year but
in Europe all is possible. They play this round with more pressure
than us and that is an advantage for Lille.
"Lille know the style of the English and I warn them that this will
not be easy for them. United will need to fight to get past us. It
is possible United will be after revenge but in the heads of their
players they will remember last season's defeat and that may affect
their performance on the field."
