And the level that we reached in those four years to play three finals,
We lost another two from Barcelona, who were also excellent at that time with Messi.
And also, I remember the game in Rome.
They're not playing with a number nine.
We had Vidic and Rio.
And they didn't normally have a striker where you had to play against.
And they were going to the midfield and Henry was coming in.
It was a complete new system with Guardiola introduced and beat us.
I've never, yeah, of course.
So let's have a look at the back four Edwin that you've gone for.
Yeah, I think on the right it's Ciro Ferrara.
I played with him at Juventus.
Maybe it was more like a central half, but great attitude, fantastic warrior.
I think he deserved to be in that team.
With Rio, great connection together with Nemanja, that triangle was fantastic.
I think Rio was there when I came, Nemanja came I think in the winter break, half a year later, and that connection we had with each other, we knew we could read and write with each other without any problems and that was a big part of the success.
Frank, because he's a good friend, a good player.
You can put it in a different way.
I could have put Patrice there.
But I think Frank de Boer is quite clever, not the quickest.
