Capello knew a lot about Blackburn before he played against him.

But in Capello's eyes, Makelle was ignored. Just as Robson identified the defensive holes of Makelele and Deco, the Blackburn defensive holes that Capello identified were still on Makelele.

After watching a few Premier League games, Capello believes that Makelele still has a big problem.

But Capello forgot. Claude Makelele does have some problems in the Premier League, the biggest problem being to control the midfielders who come in from behind. Many teams in the Premier League play by letting the midfielder who comes back control the second drop.

The Premier League's midfielders are all tough, or the Premier League is rich in this kind of tall and strong midfielders. When they control the second drop, their strong bodies will have a big impact on Makelele. Although he has been playing in the Premier League for a season, Makelele has been physically inferior against those tough midfielders.

Just like Manchester United facing Blackburn, Keane's goal was scored by a header from Makelele.

However, as Makelele has become more familiar with the Premier League, few midfielders have been able to take advantage of Makelele. Although he still suffers a little physically, Makelele is a man who plays football with his brain.

If you can't fight with your body, you can make up for it with your brain.

Even when it comes to headers, Makelele will never go out of his way to fight for the ball. He used his own experience and his own consciousness to prevent the opponent from comfortably competing for the header.

With the midfielders who stepped in and wanted to control the second drop, Makelele couldn't cope with the impact with his body. will use their own consciousness to prevent the other party from controlling the second landing point for the first time. Let the opponent miss the opportunity to attack.

But Capello didn't feel any of that. On the contrary, he thinks that Makelle has a lot of problems, so he does not emphasize it. Instead, they think that Makelle is a place where they can break through.

Now Totti is bleeding in front of Makelele, which is what makes Capello know that he underestimated him.

Although Capello has made adjustments in the second half, Totti, who has repeatedly hit a wall in front of Makelele, has a worse temper.

Totti is talented, but also very stylish.

As an attacking midfielder, Totti has definitely had a lot of red cards. Among them, there are slaps against opponents, elbows, and arguments with the referee. And, of course, the later very famous "saliva gate". Totti is like a child who doesn't grow up. On the field, he often does some unbelievable things.

Totti, who wanted to pass again, was robbed of the ball by Makellele. Totti retaliated by shoveling Makelele.

"Totti, he's so uncool." The Italian commentator blames Totti.

Totti at this time was not only a Roman prince, but also an Italian prince. Many people in Italian football have high hopes for Totti, so the Italian commentator accused Totti gently.

"Red card, it's a red card move. A red card should be given, and additional penalties should be imposed. The obvious retaliation action is ten times worse than Beckham's action at the World Cup in France. ”

But Mortenson didn't care about that. Shouting out loud, Totti should be given a red card. Mortensen doesn't care if Totti is a Roman prince or an Italian prince.

However, the referee only gave Totti a yellow card, not the red card that Mortensen and Blackburn had requested.

George was disgruntled and protested with the fourth referee. Totti's ball was a complete behind-the-back tackle, and it was clearly a tackle with a vengeance. This kind of action does not give a red card, it is too much to say. Even in the Premier League, it's a red card move.

Fourth, the referee was very kind. Let George calm down, and then have a brief conversation with George.

Seeing Totti's moves, Capemroma replaced Totti. Capello, who is in his first season in charge of Roma, already knows Totti's surname very well. Capello is afraid that Totti's current form will receive a second yellow card. So I simply replaced Totti.

With Totti's departure, the pressure on Blackburn's side dropped by more than half suddenly. Even George let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Totti go off the field. Totti, though bad-tempered, is definitely a rare genius.

Totti's talent is one of the best in his age group, or in the world of football in general.

When Totti came off the pitch, Blackburn's attack came up.

Playing Roma, George will not play the so-called midfield control of the ball and then press the opponent's style of play. That style of play works well in England, even if it's against La Liga. But playing with Serie A, it's uncomfortable.

The Italian team is playing defense and counter-attacking. And Capello is a master of this.

To play an Italian team, you have to play in the Premier League. Fast, fast passing, fast running, fast pacing. That's the best way to play an Italian team.

Although Blackburn's style of play in the past two years has been oppressive, it does not mean that Blackburn will not play fast. When Totti came off, Blackburn's tempo was suddenly much faster.

Eighty-two minutes into the second half, substitute David Brown. Dunn then cut in with a long-range shot past Roma. In the end, Blackburn Rovers won 2-0 on the road.

Blackburn Rovers won by two goals away and almost single-footed their way into the quarter-finals.

After the victory over Rome, a triumphant smile appeared on George's face. The advantage of two goals away from home, how can the Roma team get it back.

After the game, Capello only shook hands with George and left the court without saying a word. George looked at Capello's back with a smile, what about the world's famous handsome? Today it's Capello, tomorrow it's Lippi, Bosque, Mourinho, Benitez and other big coaches.

Capello is indeed a coach with the surname Ge and came to the press conference early. And it wasn't over yet, and after just saying what he had to say, he left the press conference. And looking at Capello's appearance, how does George think Capello doesn't attach much importance to the League Cup.

Capello is gone, leaving only one George left. In the face of Italian journalists, Giorgio had no scruples. Of course, Italian journalists also have a lot of questions for Giorgio.

One reporter described the game as an upset. George was quick to give sarcasm.

"We at Blackburn are currently top of the Premier League table, while Roma are fifth in Serie A. Our victory over Rome is also an underdog? ”

"The decline of Serie A is already an indisputable fact. Do you still think that Serie A is the first in the world, and a fifth-place Serie A team is stronger than our team at the top of the Premier League? I'd like to play Roma again, but that's probably enough in a few years. We're going to the Champions League and it's good for Roma to have the UEFA Cup to play. ”

Giorgio didn't give the Italian journalist face at all. Although George himself is coaxing, he scorns those people and things that want to save face. Those people in English football are desperate to save face and do not admit that they are backward in football. Whenever I talk about English football, I feel that Lao Tzu is the best in the world. George looks down on those people in English football the most to brag, but George is English, so it's hard to scold them.

But now when I see Italian journalists, they are also just as bullish, saying that their football is the best in the world. This made George very unaccustomed to it, and he couldn't help but lose two sentences. The glory of Italian football was from the mid-eighties to the mid-nineties.

It's the new millennium, and the strongest at this time is La Liga. Of course, soon the Premier League will also usher in its own boom.

Hearing Giorgio belittle Italian football, those Italian journalists were very angry. A reporter said that George's tactics were rough and he only knew how to make long passes. Naturally, with the style of criticizing the Premier League.

It's true that Blackburn didn't play their own style in this game. At first it was a counter-attack, then a long pass.

"All I know is that one equals two. I'm not like some boring people who have to think about it in a few ways to calculate, one is equal to two. This kind of person is well-fed. ”

"Football, it's a competitive sport. What is demanded is victory. As long as he can win, you don't care what tactics he uses. There you study tactics every day, and losing a game is the biggest joke and the most boring thing. ”

Giorgio's words made Italian journalists see Giorgio as their worst enemy.

Because of George's words, it is a rejection of the tradition of Italian football. The coaches of the Italian league, most of them are real coaches. They don't get involved in anything else at the club, their job is to lead the team in training and games.

So their biggest thing to do is to study tactics. In Serie A, those coaches are all tacticians. Compared to tactical ability, no Premier League coach can compare with them. But George described their greatest abilities as "well-fed", "the biggest joke", and "the most boring thing".

How could this not have angered Italian journalists.

But George didn't care. George would not have been a coach in Serie A if he was killed. The pool of Italian football is too muddy, and there are too many political games behind it. And the coaches in Italian football are not easy to mix, and it is easy to get out of class. So even if he offended the Italian journalist, Giorgio didn't care at all.

Seeing George sitting there with a wrath, sarcastic Italian reporters, and English reporters were all smiling. In recent years, Italian football has been strong, and Italian journalists are bullish everywhere. English journalists, the originators of modern football, were very angry every time.

They were thrilled to see Giorgio mocking Italian football today. Everyone wanted George to hurt the Italian journalist more.

But George didn't get what they wanted. After finishing speaking, George didn't look back, and left the press conference directly.

Looking at George's back, those Italian reporters were dumbfounded. They had been in Italy for a long time, and they didn't know George for a long time. If it weren't for this UEFA Cup game, most of them wouldn't know about George's young coach.

But today, after learning George, they only have one sentence in their hearts. Arrogance was incomparable, yes, arrogance was the only word they could think of.

This Englishman from England is really arrogant.
