The title race between Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers has entered a white-hot point.

In addition to these two teams, several strong teams cannot be compared with these two teams. Arsenal, the Premier League champions of the previous two years, has clearly shown a downward trend this season. There are a lot of questions.

The first is that Henry got into the groove too late. The other is Petit in midfield, who has been in average form this season. And the two wings, especially Ovimas on the left, have a somewhat conflicting style of play with Thierry Henry.

Of course, there is another reason, which is that Arsenal's backline is too old. Too old. Adams and Keown are both thirty-four years old. Although they are strong, they are not forgiving their age, and they can't keep up with the rhythm of the Premier League. With their excellent awareness and experience, they can still establish themselves in a giant club like Arsenal, which is already very impressive.

Fortunately, as Thierry Henry adapted, Arsenal began to play catch-up. It has already left Leeds United and become the third place in the Premier League.

Leeds United, who had a strong momentum in the first half of the season, have plummeted since the scandals of Woodgate and Lee Bowyer. Although they have begun to stabilize their positions in these rounds, they have jumped from the team that can compete for the championship to the fourth place.

Fortunately, in these games, O'Reilly finally put Leeds United in order.

Liverpool have shown tremendous upward momentum this season. Houllier bought a lot of players last summer, and Liverpool's results started to improve a lot. But Houllier's transformation isn't over yet.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are in complete decline. Ranked fifth in the Premier League.

There are too many Chelsea veterans. From the back to the midfield, the strikers are old. In addition, although Vialli has achieved brilliant results as a player, he obviously can't suppress those veterans of Chelsea. So this season's Chelsea results have been even worse.

None of the teams below have the strength to shake the status of Manchester United and Blackburn. Even Arsenal, the third place in the Premier League, is 14 points away from Manchester United and Blackburn.

This year's Premier League was born only between Manchester United and Blackburn.

…………

After playing Tottenham, George led Blackburn on an expedition to Rome in Italy.

The round of 16 of the UEFA Cup is about to be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Speaking of Roma, it is also a poor team. Or the whole Roma team, it's very pitiful.

Rome, the capital of Italy, is located in the lower Tiber River plain, is the political, historical and cultural and transportation center of Italy, and is also the birthplace of ancient Rome and the world's splendid culture, with a history of more than 2,500 years. It is a treasure trove of art, a city of culture, and the seat of the Roman Catholic Church. It is the largest and most populous city in Italy and one of the most famous places to visit in the world.

The history of Rome is told in a day and in a night.

But in terms of the Italian football map, although Roma has Roma and Lazio, their history is pale. As capital teams, Roma and Lazio have a terrible history. Even Blackburn's history is better than that of Roma and Lazio.

Roma have only won two league titles, while Lazio have only won one league title.

And Milan's two teams, not to mention the Champions League titles, AC Milan alone has sixteen league titles. Inter Milan, meanwhile, have thirteen league titles. Moreover, the two teams of Milan City, the Champions League title combined, has seven.

As for the two teams in Torino, Juventus have 25 league titles and Torino has 7 league titles.

Compared to the two teams of Milan City and the two teams of Torino, the historical results of the two teams of the Roma team are shabby no matter how you look at it.

As the two teams in the capital, Roma and Lazio have always been very resentful.

But even if you don't get angry, you can't help it. Not to mention history, even now the two teams do not have the strength to wrestle with Milan and Juventus. Behind AC Milan stands Italian media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi.

Although Inter Milan has repeatedly missed the championship in recent years, it is also supported by the Moratti family, the oil family. Juventus is even more remarkable, controlled by the Agnelli family, a symbol of Italian wealth and glory.

Compared with these three teams, Roma and Lazio are just a little bit of a fight.

George underestimated Rome in his heart, but he didn't know that Rome looked down on Blackburn even more. What team are Blackburn Rovers? But it's with Jack. How can the nouveau riche of Walker's outbreak be compared to Rome. And more Roma fans don't even know about Jack. Walker, unaware that Blackburn had won the Premier League title more than four years ago.

Italian football is a time of bullish cheering. Blackburn Rovers is a small team, how can it be in their eyes.

Blake had been quiet. Few Italian media outlets were willing to deal with Giorgio, but Giorgio didn't care. When we defeat Rome, see what your expressions are.

It was March 2nd.

George has also been to many stadiums, including Manchester United's Old Trafford and Wembley Stadium.

But the Stadio Olimpico in Rome is definitely the number one in the world. Although the stadium has been around for a long time, it is still so beautiful and magnificent.

However, upon entering the court, George frowned.

The Stadio Olimpico is a large stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people. Of course, under normal circumstances, it is said that the Olympic Stadium can accommodate 80,000 people. In fact, the Olympic Stadium has 80,000 seats and 25,000 standing seats.

However, the Olympic Stadium is clearly not a professional football stadium.

After getting used to all kinds of professional football stadiums in England, George was not very used to seeing stadiums with running tracks for a while. And George looked up and down, and now there was still half an hour before the start of the game.

If you were in England, there would have been seventy or eighty percent of the fans coming in at this time. Start singing and cheering for the home team.

But now there are only 10,000 or 20,000 fans at the Olympic Stadium. There are large swaths of open space throughout the stadium. If it's a small pitch like Ewood Park, it's not very conspicuous. But in such a large stadium as the Olympic Stadium, it is particularly dazzling.

Although there are still fans coming in one after another to find seats, George still shakes his head.

Serie A has fallen for a reason. There are so few fans at the scene, according to George's estimates, even if there is another half an hour, there will only be about 40,000 fans at most. If it is placed in Blackburn, there are already enough fans in the field.

But Rome and Blackburn are completely incomparable. Rome is a city of more than 2.5 million people, while Blackburn has only 140,000. But George believes that even if Blackburn's stadium reaches 50,000 or 60,000 capacity, the enthusiasm of Blackburn's fans can still fill the stadium.

But as a city with a population of more than 2.5 million, it is impossible to say that there are so few fans in the Roma team.

A stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people, so few fans. How to reflect the atmosphere of the home field. George shook his head.

When George was at Burnley, although in the lower leagues, the enthusiasm of the fans surpassed that of the Roma team.

Sure enough, George's guess was correct, and the game was about to begin. Roma fans didn't even fill half of the Stadio Olimpic. It's still the heyday of Serie A, and there are so few fans on the spot, what about the future?

"Hello, Coach Capello."

Blackburn may not have the same style of play as Capello, but George pursues the same as Capello. George and Capello are both coaches who value grades and don't care about the scene. It should be said that they are all coaches with utilitarian surnames.

George loved Capello. One of my favorite things is that Capello is an out-and-out "champion coach". As long as there is Capello, no matter how ugly the scene is, there will still be a champion.

And Capello was at the helm of the Milanese dynasty in the early nineties. When Fabio Capello led Milan to a sweep of Serie A, George had not yet become a manager.

"Hello, Coach Levy." Unlike George, who had a smile on his face, Capello was very serious.

After greeting George, Capello returned to his bench. George shrugged and smiled.

It seems that Capello didn't take me seriously at all, and he didn't mess with George at all. But also, George is still a little famous in English football at most. In Europe, who knew George? Capello, as a world famous coach, looks down on himself as a matter of course.

It's just that George has a faint sense of loss.

Capello has the right to look down on George, but George himself can't look down on himself.

In addition to a faint sense of loss, George was more angry in his heart. Damn, you Capello just had a huge success in Milan. Lao Tzu is still young, and when I reach your grade, the world will be mine. By the time I'm in football, you'll be old.

If you get enough results, you have the prestige of Alex Ferguson. You Capello can still ignore yourself like this.

Hum!

George won't be able to achieve the fame of Ferguson anytime soon. But it's okay to give you a slap in the face first. Get your Roman food done, and I'll see if you have a big face to put a stinky shelf for me.

If Capello knew what George was thinking now, he would definitely smile bitterly in his heart.

Capello definitely didn't mean to ignore George. It's that Capello has a poor record in the Roma league now, and the pressure has been quite high recently. Capello has been thinking about whether to continue his UEFA Cup journey.

And Capello is not a coach like Ferguson or Arsene Wenger. Ferguson doesn't look at the bad temper, but he is usually very kind. Although Wenger has not been integrated into English football, he has a good relationship with George. So George has a good relationship with Ferguson and Wenger.

But that's what Capello has to say. It's rare to talk and laugh with an unfamiliar coach. It's always been cold.

As both managers were immersed in their own thoughts, the referee's whistle blew.

"The UEFA Cup 16-8 game has begun. The match was played against Blackburn Rovers from England and Roma from Italy. ”
