Juande Ramos sees our high-profile friendly against AS Roma as the perfect preparation for the big kick-off in the league six days later. Runners-up in Serie A and Italian Cup winners last season, Roma visit the Lane on Sunday, August 10, 3pm. We then travel to Middlesbrough on the opening weekend of the 2008-09 Barclays Premier League season. Roma are one of Italy's most famous clubs and regular competitors in the Champions League - Manchester United put them out in the quarter-finals last season. They include renowned striker Francesco Totti in their ranks alongside the likes of Christian Panucci, Alberto Alquilani, Daniele De Rossi and Simone Perrotta - all in Italy's Euro 2008 squad. Head Coach Juande said: "Roma are a good team who will be playing in the Champions League this coming season and so will provide us with a stern test. "We will try our best to ensure the team put on a good match for the supporters. "We want to complete our preparation on a high in order to begin the Premier League season in the best way possible." ============================================================================== Ramos認為對羅馬的友誼賽價值非常高 這場比賽是六天後正式開踢的英超最佳的預演 Ramos說: " 羅馬是一隻好的球隊 他們在下一個賽季要踢冠軍盃 可以提供我們真正的測試 " " 我們會盡全力讓這場比賽有精采的演出 " " 我們要讓自己維持在高檔 以最佳的狀態迎接英超 " -- 這場比賽的門票最貴要25英鎊! -- Ｔo Dare is to do! --
