Cassano, who had just returned to the first team, was very active, but it was clear he wasn't quite suited for such a high-level game.
After thrashing weaker teams, when playing he always wanted to smoothly dribble past an opponent with a slick move.
Cassano was dispossessed again.
Capello rose from the bench and stood on the sidelines.
Galbiati approached and asked, "Should we try putting Robben in for a shot?"
"Forget it, although Robben is diligent, his passing is too slow after adjusting it with his left foot, he is a good forward, not a good passer," Capello shook his head and said.
Robben's right foot is practically useless, he always has to switch to his left foot to pass.
When playing against a team like Barça, even a moment of adjustment can be fatal.
Capello asked, "Are the shoes ready?"
"They're ready, Rijkaard won't be able to water the field again during the halftime break, his scheme can only last 45 minutes!" Galbiati said angrily.
Capello nodded.
