Chapter 358 Another Bad Boy
With the end of the [-]th round of the Premier League, the situation in the Premier League is becoming more and more clear.

Manchester United is completely behind.Twelve points behind No.1 Blackburn, and even six points behind No.3 Arsenal.And the recent state of Manchester United is very poor, and now they have lost two games in a row.

Losing away to Arsenal, there is no big problem.How to say that Manchester United and Arsenal have been the main rivals in the Premier League for hegemony these years, and it is not uncommon for anyone to lose.

But losing to Chelsea at home is definitely because Manchester United's own state is too bad.

This is Manchester United. Manchester United was beaten [-]-[-] by their opponents at home.This is a very rare score after the rise of Ferguson coaching Manchester United.In this state, everyone believes that Manchester United will continue to lose points.

The more surprising one is Liverpool.

After Houllier was hospitalized, even George concluded that Liverpool would soon collapse.But until now, there is no trend of collapse. Although the state of these games is relatively poor, it is not time for a collapse.

At present, it is still only biting Blackburn, only three points behind Blackburn.

Arsenal gradually showed strength.Although the start stage was not very good, but the state in these few games is very good.

Among the media analysis, the biggest title contenders this season are Blackburn and Arsenal.

Although Blackburn and Liverpool are currently the top scorers, for Liverpool, the media's analysis is the same as George's.They are not optimistic about Liverpool's next results. Instead, Arsenal, who came from behind, have become Blackburn's biggest opponent.

The matter of renting Anelka is still unclear.

George has already led Blackburn to Rome, Italy.This is the third time that George led the team to Rome, and I don't know if George has any fate with the Roma club.George is the head coach, and this is the third season of playing European games.

But every season George can meet the Roma club.

In Blackburn's second season, George led Blackburn to play in the UEFA Cup.At that time, George met Capello, who had just entered the Club of Rome.

And in last season's Champions League match, they ran into another Roman team, Lazio.

In this season, they met the Roma team again.

In this group, Blackburn is currently ranked No.1.Because Blackburn beat Barcelona [-]-[-] at home in the first round, while Roma drew with Galatasaray away.

Without Klose, George sent Drogba to this game again.

But the current Roman defense is not the defense of the classic car last time.Samuel, the backbone of the Argentine defense, came to Rome and became the pinnacle of Rome's defense.In the selection last season, Samuel and Nesta were the best central defenders in Serie A.

Whether Drogba can compete with Samuel, George is not optimistic about Drogba.Now Drogba still needs to continue to exercise.

George smiled and shook hands with Capello.But Capello is still that dead face.

But this time George had no idea.

It's a confidence boost.The last time he met Capello, George said he didn't care about Capello.But there is still some fear of Capello in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't care so much about Capello's demeanor.

That's a sign of insecurity.

But George didn't know it himself.Now as George led Blackburn to the Premier League championship, George's lack of self-confidence gradually disappeared.Facing a famous coach like Capello, he has truly treated him with a normal heart.

…………

George sat back in his seat, frowning as he watched the starting lineup of the Roma team.

Not a surprising first.But George really wanted to compete with Batty, and also wanted to see how his England national team's defense would perform against Batty.It's a pity that Batty was very powerful in Rome last season, but this season I don't know why he is not very liked by Capello.

Batty didn't play again in this game.

Rome's trident in this game is the Roman Prince Totti, the small plane Montella, and Cassano, who was transferred at a high price this season.

There are also strong players like Thomasi and Emerson in the midfield.

With the referee's whistle, the second round of the group stage at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome began.

This is a match between the Serie A champions and the Premier League champions.Therefore, it has received a lot of attention.

Emerson is now at his peak, a rare midfielder in world football.Can go up and down, can attack and defend, and covers a large area in the midfield.In addition, there is Tomasi, a physical madman, so the defense in the midfield is still quite strong.

George is more cautious in this game.

Capello is a typical head coach who wants results but not scenes.As long as he is in order to win, he is willing to do anything.The last time they played against Roma in the UEFA Cup, Roma somewhat underestimated Blackburn, a country team.

But it's different now.Blackburn is the champion of the Premier League. Now Blackburn has attracted the attention of the whole of Europe. Everyone has studied Blackburn's style of play and player characteristics deeply.Therefore, there will be no such sudden attack as last time.

Italian football is slow, but George can only choose to be slow in this game.Or Capello did not let Blackburn go fast.

Only two of Blackburn's flanks are capable of increasing their pace.But Emerson and Tomasi in the Roman midfielder interfered a lot with Deco and Micoud.As a result, it was impossible to transfer in time, and it was impossible to use the speed of the side road.

Fortunately, Blackburn is also more used to slow, so the offense can also be done step by step.

But Roma's offense is much more dangerous than Blackburn's.

Especially Cassano, who is only 19 years old.

Watching Cassano play is really enjoyable.Elegant and agile, this kind of sentence describing lightness in martial arts is not an exaggeration for the current Cassano.Cassano's speed is not fast, but it is dazzling.

It's not that Cassano's skills are so dazzling, but that his extraordinary skills are simply elusive.

Cassano took the left position, and Sagnor focused on marking him.

Compared with Cassano, Sagnol is now considered a well-known right back.As the captain, he and Blackburn have lifted the UEFA Cup, Premier League, UEFA Super Cup, and English League Cup, which is considered a lot of championships.

But facing Cassano today, Sagnol was suffocated.

Cassano's extraordinary performance is beyond your imagination. It seems that he is going outside and will be pulled back suddenly.It looks like a pass, but it is a shot.All kinds of fake moves are too realistic.Although they are all some of the most basic fake moves, they are done in such a way that no one can see any flaws.

"...It's Cassano again, facing Sagnol. From the outside... Pick the ball, this is a pick, Cassano entered the penalty area!"

Cassano is such a genius.Facing Sagnol, he made an outside breakthrough.When Sagnol leaned forward, he picked the ball lightly, and then the man ran past Sagnol's right.The ball went to the left, and the person passed by the right.

Just passed the Sagnol.

"...Cassano, the pass, it's a return pass. Totti...shot!"

Cassano is like a real shot, when everyone's attention is on him, suddenly a pass back.That's Totti's position.

Totti followed up with a shot. Fortunately, someone blocked the hole at this time.

"Makelele, the ball hit Makelele's leg."

Seeing this ball, George was on tenterhooks.I didn't feel relieved until I saw Totti's shot hit Makelele's leg.

Cassano, Cassano.

Cassano is really Italian football, following Totti and Del Piero, the best nine and a half.At present, in Italian football, Cassano is definitely the most talented player in Cassano's age group.Even in world football, Cassano's talent is unmistakable.

It's a pity that the character is too weird.

There are many talented players in world football and players with weird personalities.

Needless to say, Gascoigne, the most talented player in England in the first ten years, Rooney, the most talented player in the next ten years, will also have a bad personality.Even in German football, which is known for its rigor, those talented players have weird personalities.

Including the current Bayern Tiger Effenberg and Schuster, these two are rare talented players in German football.But what about character?
Even the Blackburn dressing room is relatively quiet, but there are many players with outstanding personalities.

Pires is proud and Miku is introverted, both players with very bad personalities.

But George didn't have that much time to think about such things.Cassano is too great a threat to Blackburn.This Cassano, man-to-man is not enough.Because Rome is not Liverpool.Liverpool George stared at Irving, so half of their offense would be gone.

But Rome is different.

You stared at Cassano, and Roman Prince Totti.Totti don't look tepid after the start of the game.Once he seized the opportunity, it was a fatal opportunity.Even if Totti is not in good condition, as well as Cafu on the wing and Emerson in the center, they cannot be ignored.

George thought about it, but the idea of ​​defense was still expelled.

Attack, only attack can save the current situation.But now the offensive speed can't be improved, and Micoud can't play the ball quickly under Emerson's marking.Micoud needs help at this time, but unfortunately Pires is unable to provide help when facing Cafu and Deco is pestered by Tomasi.

Duff, who should be the most active, turned off his fire when facing Zebina today.This made George very dissatisfied.

The game was deadlocked, and Roma had the advantage.

Cassano's several breakthroughs have created good opportunities.If it weren't for Makelele's defense against Totti, Ferdinand's defense against Montella was also good.On the contrary, Blackburn's counterattack did not produce any good opportunities.

Although it was an away game, George was unwilling to lose the game.
