The Era of Emerald

After receiving Zhuang Mingge's favor, the new official Maldini announced the new squad for the national team soon.

Due to the poor performance of the Italian national team in the European Cup in England, many international players who participated in the European Cup have disappeared from the squad announced by Lao Ma.For example, Parma veterans Abroni and Moussi, who have always been regarded as the direct descendants of Sacchi by the Italian media, and Costacurta, whose competitive status has declined sharply but still holds the position of the main central defender, have all lost the national team squad for this period. .

This time, Fiorentina, who has been neglected by Sacchi, finally got its due status in the national team. The main goalkeeper Toldo has been favored by Maldini; Nesta, Ferrara, and Bilindley were all selected, while Zambrotta was unfortunately not selected because he was too young, and Panucci was still at the right back position of the national team; Due to the introduction of too many foreign aids by Viola, and the departure of local players such as Kripa and Tacchinardi, only Di Biagio entered the squad this time. Zaghi, Fiorentina have a total of six players entered the national team squad this time.Moreover, according to the information disclosed by Lao Ma in the interview, if nothing else, these Fiorentina international players will occupy an important position in his national team.

However, while recruiting a large number of new players, the old Maldini did not overcorrect. Paul Maldini, Dino Baggio, Albertini and other veteran international players still entered the squad. Trustworthy, it would be patently inappropriate to exclude them.

As for Roberto Baggio and Pagliuca, who have been deliberately suppressed by Sacchi in the past two years, the former impresses Maldini with his outstanding performance in Florence, while the latter impresses Maldini with his wonderful performance in the Olympics. Realizing that the former Italian No. [-] is still at the peak of his career, the two finally returned to the national team after two years of absence this time.

The role of the big list announced this time is more of a symbolic meaning, marking the old Maldini's determination to build a brand new Italian national team with the Italian youth team that has won three consecutive European Youth Championships as the main body.

After all, Lao Ma's first national team game will not start until early September, and the first World Cup qualifier for the Italian national team will have to wait until October [-]th...

Prior to this, the newly promoted national players of these national teams will also participate in summer training and a series of friendly matches in their respective clubs to welcome the new season.

As for the national youth team, Prandelli learned the truth from the information leaked intentionally or unintentionally by the chairman of the Football Association Perona, and naturally understood the huge role Zhuang Mingge played in becoming the coach of the national youth team this time.Grateful to Zhuang Mingge, he made up his mind to make a good career, and at the same time planned to repay Zhuang Mingge well. However, the smart Prandelli did not express his gratitude to Zhuang Mingge on the surface, but when selecting players Slightly inclined to Florence under Zhuang Mingge's banner.

After all, as flexible as Prandelli, it is naturally impossible to make mistakes like Sacchi and give others a handle. At most, he is biased towards Fiorentina when he needs to choose from some players of similar strength.

And this degree of inclination is enough for Zhuang Mingge, a gold-finger player who defies the sky.

De Sanctis, Zambrotta, Perotta, C. Zanetti, Gattuso, Andrea Pirlo, Di Natale, Vieri... a group of young players from Florence were selected With the addition of the youth team squad, plus Luca Toni who was loaned to Vicenza and Inzaghi Jr. who played in Amsterdam, Fiorentina quietly occupied half of the Italian national youth team.

Having finished talking about the national team, let us now turn our attention back to Fiorentina.

More than a month after announcing that he became the head coach of Fiorentina, Capello finally ushered in his first training session in this Renaissance capital. He will start a half-month summer training here, and then lead the team To participate in a series of warm-up games, in preparation for the upcoming Italian Super Cup.

Only a few days after the start of the training camp, Capello divided the players into two categories, namely the main players in his mind and the substitute players who play a role in rotation.

In terms of goalkeeper, the main force is naturally Francisco Toldo. Capello is very optimistic about this young goalkeeper with tall arms and long arms, and believes that he is enough to become the mainstay of the team in the next ten years.

As for Toldo's substitute, it is still the 22-year-old Gwadarben. In the past few years, he didn't get many chances to play, but he didn't express dissatisfaction with it. He was very content with the position of substitute goalkeeper. Ben's professional attitude is very commendable.

As for the full-back, Robert Carlos, who was transferred from Inter Milan, quickly conquered Capello with his performance, and took over the main left-back position left by Lanner after leaving, and defeated the ill Fortuna Although his skills and awareness are still there, he can only serve as a substitute for the Brazilian due to the decline in physical fitness; at the right back position, Zambrotta and Bilindelli will compete for posts. competitive status to determine the starter

After Filicano left Emerald for the main position, the central defender combination of Ferrara and Nesta has been completely determined, and the evergreen tree Uncle Will Joward and the teenager Japp are still sitting on the bench. · Stam, the veteran has rich experience and accurate judgment, and the young physical strength can provide an effective supplement for the team's defense.

In terms of midfield, after the arrival of Fernando Redondo, the departure of Tacchinardi and Kripa is not so important. The Argentine's ability can fully make up for the vacancy left by the two. Feinberg, Rui Costa, Davis and Djorkaeff, Di Biagio, Tomasi and other stars, Fiorentina's midfield strength has not declined but has risen.

On the front line, any one of the Fiorentina four-man gang composed of Batistuta, Ronaldo, Philippe Inzaghi and Vieri is enough to make the Serie A teams tremble. Being a Raider provides more variety for the team.

With such a strong first-team lineup, plus Fabio Capello, the best head coach in Italy in the past ten years, Fiorentina's new season is worth looking forward to.
