Since Roberto arrived to the Premier League, had the feeling that would have a big impact, but did not expect that it had it so prompt. His team creates of 20 to 25 opportunities by party, many more than his rivals. And it hoards the balloon as it does long that it did not see. All the players are put, his goalkeeper plays practically of midfield player. If you do not play to the highest level, this team can do what want with you. They deserve all the praises and the success that are having".
