402 is already the prince

"George, how many times have we been here?"

As soon as he got off the plane, Carl shook his head with a wry smile.

"Yes, yes. Head, why are we so predestined to Rome? Between George and Carl, a head suddenly appeared. It turned out to be Sanior, who followed George. Since Saniol came to Blackburn, except for the first season, he has to meet the Roma club every season.

All Blackburn players think Blackburn is predestined to the club in Rome City.

"It's okay. It's better than us playing Milan and Juventus.

"Yes, head. When you go to Rome, there are always beautiful memories. Saniol also nodded. Indeed, every time Blackburn goes to play away to the club of Rome City, whether it is Rome, Lazio, Blackburn is very good at playing.

George smiled when he heard Saniol's words.

As soon as I got off the plane, there was already a lot of media around.

Although Blackburn's performance this season is not very good, he is now ranked third in the Premier League. But Blackburn was the Champions League champion last season. There are also a lot of media coming to support it.

George remembered Saniol's words, so he smiled at the media. Rome makes a good impression on me. I like Rome.

............" Hello, everyone, this is the second round of the Champions League in Group B in the 02-03 season. This is the Rome Olympic Stadium. The two sides are Blackburn from the Premier League and the Roma team from Serie A. These two teams are the most familiar opponents in Europe in recent years. Almost every season, Blackburn will meet Rome.

"Whether it's Blackburn or Rome this season, there are some problems with their results. Blackburn's performance fluctuated because he left two midfield players, Deko and Macleley. Rome's performance this season is much worse. Now it ranks seventh in Serie A.

Martin. Taylor briefly introduced the two teams.

Maybe in recent years, Serie A has attracted less and less attention. Or it may be because the Serie A team's performance in Europe has been getting worse and worse in the past few seasons. Anyway, every time George goes to the Rome Olympic Stadium, he will feel that the atmosphere here is getting worse year by year.

The atmosphere at the scene of Serie A is really bad.

George has led Blackburn to many stadiums in the past few seasons.

Including those Eastern European clubs, as well as La Liga and Bundesliga, including Ligue 1. However, in terms of on-site attendance, it is more popular than in Serie A. Even when George led Burnley to the League One, the atmosphere was much better than that of the Rome Olympic Stadium.

Looking at the live fans who continued to decline year by year, George shook his head.

The enthusiasm of the fans continues to decrease, and it is really unreasonable that Serie A does not decline.

After three months, Blackburn's tactics are becoming more and more mature.

George is still in a double waist formation, and the middle is the partner of Alonso and Hargreaves. This season, George found that Hargreaves is definitely a world-class midfielder. It can even be said that Hargreaves is completely the back of a butcher like Gattuso.

Hargreaves looks average, but when defending, he is absolutely strong.

Fast footing, fierce defense, not slow speed, and a large defensive area. He swept in the midfield, and in George's opinion, he was no worse than the later Mascherano.

The front court is a combination of Pires, Kaka and Duff. The front line is up by Klose alone.

George likes Kaka very much.

Not only because of Kaka's talent, but also because of Kaka's attitude towards the profession. Of course, Kaka can easily integrate into the team and learn English quickly. After joining Blackburn for half a year, you can easily communicate with the players.

By this season, there is no problem with English for Kaka.

Even good at English, it's good to come to Miku in Blackburn for four seasons. Although Miku also works hard to learn English, his language talent is really poor. Fortunately, although I don't speak fluently, there is no problem with general communication and listening.

At the beginning of the game, the Roma players could clearly feel the difference between Blackburn and the past.

Before Blackburn, the control of the midfield was unprecedentedly strong. Even at the home court in Rome. But today Blackburn automatically retreated and gave up the vicinity of the center line to Rome.

Roma is a very special team in Serie A.

is also a very special team among the teams coached by Capello. Capello was the famous utilitarian football boss in Europe, so that Mourinho later publicly declared himself a believer in Capello. But Rome, coached by Capello, plays a different kind of football.

At this time, Rome is still very beautiful to play football.

The attack is also very good.

So after the game began, Roma launched an attack at home.

But unlike other players, Emerson has been looking at Kaka. For his younger generation, Emerson has a deep memory. In last season's Champions League group stage, Kaka became famous with a goal. At that time, Emoreson was easily passed by Kaka, so Emoreson was always ashamed of the game at that time.

Unexpectedly, Kaka, a young person who didn't even enter the national team's gate, played. Shame on you.

Therefore, after the start of the game, unlike other Roma players, Emerson looked firmly at Kaka and wanted to get rid of his shame.

Three minutes of the game, Rome returned without success.

In the five minutes of the game, Rome still failed to create any good opportunities.

When we met last season, Cassano performed very well, and this game was also very depressing. Because Hargreaves always follows Cassano. Hargreaves has frozen Owen's players in the Premier League, and George let him play the ability of plaster in this game.

Rome's attacks came back to no success again and again.

Their attack returned to no success, and Blackburn's counterattack began.

Blackburn's counterattack was through Alonso. Capello emphasized Alonso, so Tomasi had already come to defend when Alonso took the ball. But Alonso, who has experienced in the Premier League, reacted much faster than Tomassi. It went straight to the left side of Pires.

After Pirley got the ball, he gently dialed his right foot and shook a small empty place from Kafu. Then the ball was passed to the middle.

When Alonso passed the ball, the Blackburn frontcourt players were already ready. So when Pires passed the ball, Kaka began to start and went to get the ball.

Emerson saw the Kaka start, and immediately posted it.

Emoson's idea is very simple. That is, you can't let Kaka go there this time. It's enough to have one time. There must be no second time.

Kaka saw Emerson coming, turned sideways to Emerson, and pushed the ball with his right foot. Then he quickly turned around and ran past Emerson.

"Kaka... The human ball has been divided. It's so wonderful. This is not a human ball in running at high speed, but a sideways breakthrough.

Martin. Taylor was a little surprised.

Kaka has been able to play often in Blackburn. Therefore, these commentators also know a lot about his characteristics. But it is rare for this kind of place to be so wonderful. So Martin. Taylor was surprised.

In fact, this ball is entirely Emerson's responsibility.

Emoson is very strong. There should be no such mistake. The main reason is that Emerson always thought that last season's game was a shame and wanted to get it back eagerly.

In the face of players like Kaka, Emerson should have two ways. Either it should be kept at a certain distance, which is conducive to further action in the defense of Kaka, or to prevent Kaka's passing route.

Another way is to be completely close to the card and hold the card with your body to prevent the card from having the next action.

But Emerson has neither a certain distance of defense nor completely close to Kaka. On the contrary, it is very close to Kaka, and it is too fierce. Kaka turned around and was completely left behind.

When Emerson was left, the whole Roman defender was in front of Kaka.

And Pires, Duff and Klose fired three arrows, pulling the whole Roman defender away. Kaka is flat.

Kaka's running with the ball is very characteristic, with high frequency and large stride. Moreover, Kaka has a strong ability to grasp the ball and has a good touch of the ball, because Kaka's way of holding the ball is very easy to make the ball bigger, but Kaka doesn't, because Kaka has a good grasp of the power and direction every time he touches the ball.

Therefore, although Kaka's absolute speed is not among the top few in European football. But with the speed of running with the ball, Kaka can't be said to be the fastest in world football, and he is also a player in the top three.

So after Kaka ran, other Roma players couldn't keep up with him at all.

"...Kaka... This is Blackburn's counterattack... This is a four-to-four situation... How will Kaka choose?"

Yes, it's a four-to-four situation.

Pires on the left held back Kafu, Duff on the right held back Kandra, and Klose held back Samuel. Therefore, in order to defend Kaka's breakthrough, Panucci came forward and prepared to steal.

Seeing Panucci came out, Kaka changed a line and was ready to break through Panucci.

"... Panucci... Kaka, break through on the right side... No, it's a pass!"

Kaka's speed did not slow down and made a breakthrough on the right side. But suddenly a straight plug in the right foot passed by Panucci's side. For a moment when Kaka passed the ball, Klose, who was still entangled with Samuel, appeared in Kaka's passing route like a ghost.

Kaka's plug and Klose's running are completely seamless. The tacit understanding between the two completed this wonderful cooperation.

"...Klose, shoot!"

Klose's holding of the ball at this angle is fatal to any opponent. The moment Cloze took the ball, he shot directly with his right foot.

"GOOOOOOAL!!!!" Martin. Taylor shouted. Wonderful, this ball is really wonderful. From the beginning of Alonso's pass, it only took 11 seconds for Blackburn to complete the goal.

"Kaka, the technology and speed shown in the counterattack, is completely the demeanor of a superstar. Kaka has become the prince of Blackburn in a year.
