The Era of Emerald

() Three days later, that is, on August [-], the Fiorentina team will participate in the first round of the league that was postponed by the Italian Football Association for some reason.

Although it is said that the second round will not start until September [-]th, this is because the previous period was the national team match day stipulated by FIFA-for the various national teams in Europe, it is to compete for England next year With the ticket for the European Cup, the Italian Football Association certainly won't be so stupid as to let the defending champion Fiorentina play in the league when the national team is playing...

So this time the European Super Cup won, the players did not celebrate as much as before, but after a brief celebration on the court, under the organization of the club staff, they flew back to Florence overnight to hurry up Restore the stamina they had spent on the long journey.

……

"Hehe, this time old man Sacchi really did enough to give Florence face, recruiting so many people at once." In the chairman's office in Florence, Zhuang Mingge smiled and threw a newspaper on the table.

The front page of the newspaper was impressively printed with the Italian national team coach Sacchi just announced the national team squad for the next European Cup qualifiers. The Fiorentina players who have been neglected by the old man Sacchi finally got a hard-won Opportunities: Lanna, Bilindelli, Ferrara, Filicano, Toldo, plus midfielder Kripa, Fiorentina has a total of six players called into the latest national team this time big list.

"Coach Saki can't do it otherwise. As a team that won the double championship last season, if even a local player in the team is not selected for the national team, it would be too unreasonable." Lin also smiled and said, "However, Coach Sacchi still seems to dislike Roberto Baggio very much and refuses to call him into the new Italian national team squad."

It can be seen from Sacchi's choice that it seems that this "shoemaker" (Sacchi used to be a salesman in a shoe store before becoming a football coach) thinks that Florence's defensive system is still worthy of reference for his Italian national team. Calling up so many Fiorentina players is probably an attempt to get a closer look at that aspect.

As for Robert Baggio's failure to qualify for the national team after the U.S. World Cup, Zhuang Mingge could only express in his heart that he was helpless. The stubborn old man Sacchi would not initiate his own prejudices because of "external pressure". This can be seen from his later forced away the main right back Panucci when he "entered the palace for the second time" in Milan.

In addition to the six local players who entered the national team training this time, Djorkaeff, Davis and Rui Costa were also called into their respective national teams.After Jacquet became the head coach of the French national team, he did not hesitate to abandon Cantona, who has been the core of the French team's offense since Platini coached, and made a mistake in the World Cup qualifier against Bulgaria two years ago. Ginola made low-level mistakes, and Djorkaeff took this opportunity to become the right-hand man of the new generation of core Zidane.

As for the selection of Davis, it is more based on the amazing performance in Ajax last season, and the Netherlands has always been known for its excellent offensive players, but there are very few outstanding defensive players. Therefore, an outstanding defensive midfielder like Davis is naturally regarded as a rare animal by the national team coach Hiddink. After Rijkaard retired, Hiddink, who has been worrying about defense, can't wait to call the "wild boar" the Dutch national team.

Rui Costa's situation is similar to that of Davis. As one of the representatives who represented Portugal in winning two World Youth Championships, Costa naturally entered the new squad of the national team smoothly.

It is precisely because Fiorentina will be deprived of so many main players at once, so the match date will be set on August 8st: not one day earlier, because UEFA has just issued an order a few years ago that does not allow a team The second game will be played within 31 hours after the end of the previous game; it will not work one day later, because the registration period for the national team is September 72st.

1995年8月31ri，佛罗伦萨终于迎来了95－96赛季意甲联赛揭幕战，他们坐镇弗兰基球场迎战红se公牛——都灵队。

Turin ranked No.11 in the league last season, which belongs to the mid-range level of Serie A. Although the ranking is not high, when entering the final stage of last season, the Red Bulls overturned the powerful Juventus at the "home court".From this point of view, it is still difficult for Florence to win the game smoothly.

However, the Turin club first let go of the main shooter Sirenzi this summer. This gentleman scored 93 league goals for the Turin team in the 94-17 season. He is a traditional Italian center with a height of 191cm. The one-tall and one-fast striker combination formed with Liztley led the team to get a lot of valuable points last season. His departure made the Turin team lose a "tower" that attracted the attention of the opponent's defensive players. ".

What is even more unfortunate is that the Ghanaian star Abedi Bailey, who Turin spent a lot of money to poach from the relegated Marseille team last summer, was seriously injured during the summer training camp and will not be able to play again until at least January next year...

The backstage boss of the Turin club suffered a sharp drop in assets during last year's depreciation of the lira, and he is no longer willing to continue investing in the club to buy big-name players due to tight financial conditions. It just managed to keep the remaining first-team players, and didn't make any big moves.

The main shooter left the team, the midfielder was seriously injured, and the boss refused to continue investing... The morale of the troubled Torino team has fallen to the bottom at the beginning of the season, and under such circumstances, they ushered in their new season. First league game.

Facing such a demoralized Turin team and still occupying the home court advantage, Ranieri naturally does not need to be so conservative. Although sometimes his conservativeness has been criticized by many people, it also depends on Florence's opponents at the time. Whoever it is, it is really unreasonable to play defensive counterattack against a Turin whose strength has been greatly reduced.

Therefore, in this game, although Ranieri continued to use the four-four-two formation of last season, he made some fine-tuning of the starting players in the midfield. After 10 and [-] minutes, Kripa made his debut. On the front line, Philippe Inzaghi and Ronaldo partnered. The left back position was replaced by Fortunato, who had returned from illness. Good striker, Ranieri intends to let Fortunato find his way in this official game.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!
