PS1: This is an update on Monday, a little late. I hope that all book friends don’t care too much about the update time. I’ll guarantee that I will not stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

PS3: Here I would like to thank the book friends "Shura Xu Zhengyang", "Tianyuan Hanqi", "Little Li Fei's Talk", and "Big King Yuyu Yuyu" for their rewards.

PS4: When the French team gave Ireland a penalty in the first minute of the game, I thought the host might have to kneel down this time, but I didn't expect that it would be able to reverse in the end...

PS5: How dirty is Spain's defense? The defense is all studded. Referee, did you not bring a red and yellow card? Fortunately, Italy won in the end...

Although there was insufficient stamina during the sprint stage last season, and opponents such as Juventus and Lazio also showed strong competitiveness, Fiorentine players are still very confident in winning the Champions League and the League this season, the two heavy championship trophys. Especially those of Nesta, Pirlo and Zambrota, who have experienced the first peak era in Florence in the mid-to-late 1990s, did not take this difficulty seriously.

In the eyes of these players, only the championship trophy won by a strong vote is more valuable and can be more worthy of the titles of Fiorentina's top European giants and Serie A overlord. If they are like Bayern Munich, they maintain their dominant position in the domestic arena by forcibly poaching their competitors' pillars and thus winning the league championship with an overwhelming advantage every year, they will be the result they are most reluctant to see.

Only when the strength of the competitors is strong enough can it highlight the difficulty of Fiorentina's championship and its better level. Not many top stars will like to play in a league where they can only abuse their food every day and don't even have an opponent to play. Because after playing in such a league for a long time, these stars will often relax and unconsciously relax their requirements for themselves. Therefore, when they encounter some teams that are equal or slightly inferior but have more experience in fighting strong enemies, their outcomes are often not very good.

The most typical example is Bayern Munich in the 2002-03 season. After Bayern, who was invincible in the Bundesliga venue at the time, came to the Champions League arena, and the Bundesliga overlord who was used to abuse food in China, had a life-long life in the Champions League group stage. In the end, he ended up with a humiliating ending of returning home after the group stage.

Although a considerable part of this is because the aging status of the main players in Bayern team declined, it is also impossible to admit that the days when there is no opponent in the Bundesliga have indeed made Bayern players relax their vigilance, making them unable to win smoothly when facing a team like La Coruna, which is worse than their overall strength but is somewhat nerve-wracking. They were also overturned by the La Liga powerhouse in the two rounds of home and away games, losing all the face of the Bundesliga team.

However, although the strength of competitors can make Fiorentina's championship very valuable, after they strengthen their lineup and improve their strength, the pressure these teams bring to Fiorentina will also increase. This is obviously a very serious test for young players in the Fiorentina team who lack relevant experience.

Compared with famous stars such as Nesta and Pirlo who have experienced various big scenes, young players such as Ribery and Modric have a little lack of knowledge and experience in this regard. Once Fiorentina is in a deadlock or unfavorable situation in the championship battle, it is really an unknown number of players who can exert some energy under heavy pressure.

At this time, the value of these old players in the Fiorentina team can be well reflected. The calm and calm attitude shown by Nesta and Pirlo in training and daily interactions has well soothed the emotions of the players in the Fiorentina team who lacked this experience, allowing them to focus on playing football on the court and feel at ease, rather than always caring about the movements of their competitors.

In this way, with the leadership of these old players, the whole team in Fiorentina started the pre-season training camp with high morale. Many people wished that the season would start the game now so that those ambitious opponents could see their excellence!

However, before they realize their ambitions, Fiorentine players still need to go through a pre-season training plan carefully crafted by the coaching staff and the physiotherapy center. Only players who have completed all the programs in the plan are eligible to play for Fiorentina after the start of the new season. As for those who have not met the standards... Well, Mourinho has also prepared another training plan, which is specially prepared for these people.

According to news leaked from the Fiorentine coaching staff, once a player falls into this pit, this training plan will definitely leave him with an unforgettable impression...

So, from the reunion of the team to the arrival of the first warm-up match of the new season, all the players of the Fiorentina first team could be said to be living a life of dire straits. Every time they ended in training, they felt as if their bodies had been completely hollowed out. Not to mention wandering around in the nightclub, they had no extra energy to just go to entertainment and relax.

Although the players verbally complained about the training plan arranged by the coaching staff and looked like they could not bear Mourinho's cruel and violent (harmonious) politics, in private, they still quite agree with this pre-season training. After all, only by maintaining such high-intensity training can they be able to take a rest for a summer and reserve enough physical fitness to deal with the situation where Fiorentina needs to fight on the third line in the new season.

Just as Fiorentina was conducting pre-season training in an orderly manner and a series of warm-up matches to prepare for the new season bit by bit, time had already arrived on August 5, 2005, which was three days left before the start of the 2005-06 Italian Super Cup final!

"Ha, Angelo (Dilivio), it seems that our luck is really good. We encountered such a strong enemy in the first official game after the summer training camp." After arriving at the venue of this Italian Super Cup, Tokyo, Mourinho said to Dilivio beside him, "It just so happens that we can observe the results of the team's pre-season training camp."

"Ha, hehe..." Dilivio laughed dryly about Mourinho's remarks without making any comments. In his opinion, Mourinho's view is really hard to accept - he encountered a strong opponent like Juventus at the beginning of the season. If he loses, it will easily have a negative impact on the team.
