SPANISH PRESS ROUNDUP
Last updated : 19 March 2003 By Editor
Spanish newspaper AS says Deportivo were able to leave
competition with a good taste in their mouth after beating a
young United team. Report is sympathetic to Larry White and
speculates as to whether Hierro will suffer the same fate at
the weekend. Says Blanc was left to organise the young pups
around him. He is called an “imperious defender whose time
has passed”
Sidebar mentions a police charge on United fans at half-time
but not clear what caused it and makes no great issue of it.
The piece uses term aficion which is more respectful than
gamberros (hooligans) the term any English team's fans are
usually tarred with.
Roberto Carlos, on media duty last night says he fancies
United in next round. Other opinions are split between a
truly great European night against 'Manchester' and the
desire to knock Barca out.
