In the Italian Super Cup final, Fiorentina easily defeated Lazio, who played with all the main players with a score of 3-1. This result really made many experts who claimed that the Blue Eagles had more hope of winning the championship before the game shattered their glasses.
You should know that unlike Lazio, who has greatly increased its strength in the summer transfer market, Fiorentina has lost many players this summer, among which the three players, Jiuli, Stam and Albertini, play a very important role in the Purple Lily. Coupled with Pirlo's absence and the impact of the European Cup, Fiorentina can be said to be quite unpopular before the game.
What's more, Fiorentina lost their meritorious coach Heinquez in June this year. Although Mourinho, the new coach of the team, has also had the glorious deeds of leading the second team in Fiorentina to jump two levels in a row and win the Italian Cup championship, this qualification is obviously not enough for the Portuguese to take the position of head coach of the top European giants like Florence.
In fact, if Mourinho had not had many years of experience working in Fiorentina and had worked hard to make these big-name stars in the team recognize his abilities, and the boss of Zhuang Mingge supported him behind his back, the Portuguese would not have become the head coach of Fiorentina amidst the doubts from the outside world.
Some people may give the example of Saki and Mancini, but don't forget that these two are Italians, and Saki also had full support from Berlusconi at the time. Mancini even made a great reputation in his player age. With these prestige and connections, it was enough to make him, who had just become the head coach, get a lot of convenience.
It is precisely because of this that Mourinho's coaching ability has become one of the main reasons for people to look down on Fiorentina. After all, compared with Mancini, who is powerful in the age of players and has also achieved good results after becoming a head coach, Mourinho, who is a translator and has only coached Serie B teams at the highest level, does not have any qualifications worthy of people's belief.
However, the final result was that Fiorentina, who lacked Pirlo, the midfield commander, tortured Lazio to death in this game. Although Drogba broke out in a small way to help the Blue Eagles get back a point, Mourinho then used the tactic of the redeem to destroy the Ivorians. After that, Milito's goal to secure the victory completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope for Lazio to counterattack!
Although a three-to-one score made Lazio not look so embarrassed, all those who watched the game from beginning to end were very clear that from pre-match arrangements to on-the-spot adjustments, Mancini, who was controlled everywhere, was obviously not the opponent of this Portuguese coach who was only a well-known Portuguese coach in Italian football.
It can be said that through this game, people truly realized that Mourinho is not as unsatisfactory as they imagined, nor is it the kind of nanny coach they think that only listens to the opinions of the stars in the team, but a very capable handsome guy!
So, after the Italian Super Cup, Mourinho's name began to be widely publicized by major sports media and spread to the ears of every fan who is paying attention to the Italian football situation.
After finishing the Italian Super Cup and using a championship trophy as the start of the new season, Fiorentina did not play any game for the rest of August. All the players stayed in the training base under Mourinho's supervision and rested in the final preparations for the Serie A that will open next month.
After all, due to the European Cup and the departure of many main rotation players, Fiorentina's pre-season preparations this summer are not as sufficient. Therefore, in order to enable the players to form a tacit understanding with each other as soon as possible, be familiar with the new tactical system he improved, and also to allow the players who have joined the team to better integrate into the team, Mourinho must seize all the time he can use to allow the team to run in.
Here I would like to add that since the Serie A has achieved remarkable achievements in the development and expansion of overseas markets in recent years, various commercial income has increased, so this big cake called Serie A, which only 18 teams participated, seems extremely attractive. Therefore, in order to further enhance the influence of Serie A and to make some outsiders who are jealous of Serie A profit also participate in this feast of sharing the cake, the Italian Football Association made the decision to expand the Serie A League two years ago at the end of the Korea-Japan World Cup, and it was not until this summer that it finally completed the expansion plan.
In other words, starting this season, the teams participating in the Serie A will officially expand to twenty teams. The top four will qualify for the Champions League next season. The teams that have won the fifth to eighth place will participate in the League Cup. The number of relegated teams remains unchanged. The three teams at the bottom of the standings will be directly relegated, and the fourth to the bottom will play the relegation playoffs with the second-tier team.
At the same time, in order to reduce the number of times that many stars are reimbursed for malicious fouls by existing players during the game, the Italian Football Association announced that it will provide free training for all referees with Serie A law enforcement qualifications starting this season, so that they can strengthen their control over stadium discipline. Once existing players commit malicious fouls or deliberately hurt other players with dangerous actions, they will not tolerate them and will be dealt with strictly and severely!
In addition, the Italian Football Association has also announced another measure, that is, when the two teams have the same points, the number of goal difference or the mutual record of the two teams will no longer be used as the primary basis for determining the final ranking, but instead use the number of goals scored by the two teams in the league this season as the number of conditions for judging the league ranking!
The implicit meaning of these actions of the Italian Football Association can be said to be clear at a glance. Teams that advocate offense or can play smoothly will have more advantages in the future, while teams that only place buses at the door or injure people with malicious fouls will become the targets of the Football Association's severe blow!
