With 15 rounds of Premier League matches over, the situation in the Premier League is becoming clearer.

Manchester United are completely left behind. Blackburn Rovers is already 12 points behind first-placed Blackburn, and even six points away from third-placed Arsenal. And Manchester United have been in poor form lately, and now they are on a two-game losing streak.

Losing away to Arsenal, nothing is a big problem. How to say that Manchester United and Arsenal have been the main rivals in the Premier League over the years, and it is not uncommon for anyone to lose.

But the defeat at home to Chelsea was definitely Manchester United's own poor form.

This is Manchester United, who were beaten 3-0 at their home turf. It was a very rare score after Alex Ferguson's rise to the top in charge of Manchester United. At this point, everyone believes United will continue to drop points.

The more unexpected was Liverpool.

After Houllier was hospitalised, even George concluded that Liverpool would soon collapse. But so far there is no trend of collapse, although the state of these games is relatively poor, but it is not time to collapse.

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

Arsenal are gradually showing strength. Although the start was not very good, it was in good form in these games.

According to media analysis, the biggest title contenders this season are Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal.

Although Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool are at the top of the points right now, for Liverpool, the analysis of the media and George's thoughts are the same. None of them are optimistic about Liverpool's next results, but Arsenal, who came from behind, has become Blackburn's biggest opponent.

The loan of Anelka is not yet in sight.

George had already led Blackburn to Rome in Italy. This is the third time that George has led the team to Rome, and I don't know if George has any fate with the club in Rome. George is in his third season as head coach and playing in Europe.

But every season George can play against Roma's club.

In his second season at Blackburn, George led Blackburn to play in the League Cup. At that time, George met Capello, who had just joined the club of Rome.

In last season's Champions League match, they met another Roma team, Lazio.

This season, we met Roma again.

In this group, Blackburn Rovers are currently in first place. Blackburn Rovers beat Barcelona 3-1 at home in the first round, while Roma drew away at Galatasaray.

Without Klose, George sent Drogba again in this game.

However, the current Roma backline is not the same as the last time it was played by a classic car. Samuel, the backbone of the Argentine defence, arrived at Roma and became the anchor of the Roma backline. Last season, Samuel and Nesta were the best centre-backs in Serie A.

Whether Drogba can confront Samuel or not, George is not optimistic about Drogba. Drogba still needs to keep exercising.

George shook Capello's hand with a smile on his face. But Capello still has that dead face.

This time, though, George didn't have much of an idea.

It's a growth in self-confidence. The last time he met Capello, George said on his face that 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 lack of self-confidence.

It's just that George himself doesn't know. Now, with George leading Blackburn Rovers to the Premier League title, George's lack of self-confidence is gradually disappearing. In the face of a famous coach like Capello, he has really treated it with a normal heart.

………… George sat back in his seat and frowned as he looked at Roma's starting lineup.

Not a very surprising starter. It's that George really wants to play with Barty and see how his England national team's backline will perform against Barty. It's a pity that Barty was imposing in Rome last season, and this season I don't know how not to be liked by Capello.

Barty did not play again in this game.

The trident of Rome in this game is Prince Totti of Rome, Montella, a small plane, and Cassano, who has been transferred at a high price this season.

There are also strongmen such as Tomasi and Emerson in the midfield.

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

It was a match between the Serie A champions and the Premier League champions. Therefore, it has attracted a lot of attention.

Emerson is now in his prime, 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 maniac next to him, so the defense in the midfield is still quite strong.

George was more cautious in this game.

Fabio Capello is the quintessential manager who wants results and not plays. As long as it is for the sake of victory, he is willing to do anything. The last time they played Roma in the UEFA Cup, Roma were a little dismissive of the country side of Blackburn.

But now it's different. Blackburn is the Premier League champion, and now Blackburn has received the attention of all Europe, and everyone has studied Blackburn's style of play and the characteristics of the players. So there will be no surprise attack like the last one.

Italian football is slow, but this game George can only choose to be slow. Or maybe Capello doesn't let Blackburn fast.

Blackburn have only two wings that have the ability to increase their speed. However, the two people in Roma midfield, Emerson and Tomasi, interfered a lot with Deco and Miku. As a result, it is impossible to transfer in time, and it is impossible to take advantage of the speed of the side.

Fortunately, Blackburn is also more accustomed to being slow, so the offense can be as planned.

However, the Roma attack was much more dangerous than Blackburn's.

Especially Cassano, who was only nineteen years old.

It was a real pleasure to watch Cassano play. Elegant and smart, this kind of sentence describing light skills in martial arts is not an exaggeration to give to the current Cassano. Cassano isn't fast, but it's dazzling.

It's not that Cassano's skills are brilliant, it's that his prowess is simply elusive.

Cassano took a position on the left and Sagnol focused on him.

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

But in the face of Cassano today, Sagnol is holding his breath.

Cassano's passing is unimaginable, as if it was an outside line, and all of a sudden it would pull back. It looks like a pass, but it's a shot. The various feints are too realistic. Although they are all some of the most basic feints, they are done without any flaws.

“…… It's Cassano again, facing Sagnol. Outside...... Pick-up, it's a pick-and-roll, Cassano goes into the box! ”

Cassano is truly a genius. In the face of Sagnol, he made a breakthrough from the outside. Wait until Sagnol leans forward and gently picks the ball up, and then the man runs past Sagnol's right. The ball went to the left, and the man passed from the right.

It's all over the place.

“…… Cassano, passing, is a return pass. Totti...... Shot! ”

Cassano was like a real shot, and when everyone's attention was on him, all of a sudden there was a return pass. That's Totti's location.

Totti followed up with a shot on goal, but luckily someone blocked the hole at this time.

"Makelle, this ball is in Makellele's leg."

George was terrified when he saw this ball. It wasn't until I saw Totti's shot hit Makelele's leg that I was relieved.

Cassano, Cassano.

Cassano is truly the best nine-and-a-half in Italian football, after Totti and Piero. At the moment in Italian football, Cassano is definitely the most talented player at his age. Even in world football, Cassano's talent is countable.

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

Talented players in world football, players with strange surnames abound.

Needless to say, Gascoigne, the most talented player in England in the first decade, and Wayne Rooney, the most talented player in the next decade, also have a poor surname. Even in German football, which is known for its rigor, those talented players have strange surnames.

Including the current Bayern Tiger Effenberg, and Schuster, both of whom are rare talents in German football. But when it comes to surnames?

Even though the Blackburn dressing room is quieter, there are a lot of players with high-profile surnames.

Pire is proud, Miku is introverted, and they are both players with very poor surnames.

But George didn't have that much time to think about it. Cassano is simply too much of a threat to Blackburn. This Cassano, it's not good for people to mark people. Because Roma is not Liverpool. Liverpool George is staring at Owen, so half of their attack is gone.

But Rome is different.

You've got Cassano in sight, and the Roman prince Totti. Totti don't watch the game start after the tepid. Once he seized the opportunity, it was a fatal opportunity. Even if Totti is not in good shape, there are Cafu on the wing and Emerson in the middle, which cannot be ignored.

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

Attack, only by attacking, can we save the current situation. But now the attacking speed can't be improved, Miku is under Emerson's marking and can't get the ball out quickly. At this time, Miku needed help, but unfortunately Pire was unable to help in the face of Cafu and Deco being pestered by Tomasi.

Duff, who should be active the most, turned out the fire in the face of Zebina today. This made George very unhappy.

The game was deadlocked, with Roma dominating.

Cassano made several breakthroughs and created good chances. If it weren't for Makelele's defense against Totti, Rio Ferdinand's defense against Montella would have been good. On the contrary, Blackburn's counterattack did not produce any good opportunities.

Although it was an away game, George was reluctant to lose.
