No matter where George Wood was on the field, his eyes were fixed on his opponent, Kaka.
The day before the game, as well as the last preparation before the game, Twain stressed that Kaka was his target for this game. In fact, there was no need to stress repeatedly. He was well aware in his own mind who the most threatening player was in a team. He was a defensive midfielder and it was one of his jobs to study the opponents' ace players. He had no special hobbies. So, outside his training and competition and unless there was a commercial job, he would always quietly watched the video during other times at home.
He studied all the Forest team's opponents in the league and in the European arena. Albertini had told him a long time ago that it was not sustaining to defend by physical instinct alone, because as he grew older, the body he was now so proud of would always decline. What would he do then when that happened? Would he slowly be forgotten on the bench?
