The short summer training camp soon passed through the players' sweats. Next was a series of warm-up matches arranged by the club management for the team to help the players get back their game form as soon as possible before the new season begins.

After all, compared to other teams in the Serie A, Fiorentina, which won the triple-champ last season, will have to play two very important games before the league starts, namely the Italian Super Cup and the European Super Cup finals!

Generally speaking, warm-up events like the Italian Super Cup are not enough to make strong teams like Florence have too much interest, but who made the team win the triple crown last season, which resulted in a rapid increase in expectations for the team? Besides, it would be a waste of resources if the remaining three championships (The Italian Super Cup, European Super Cup, Toyota Cup) were not brought back to upgrade to the "all-time champion".

Capello naturally dared not neglect his expectations for fans. On the one hand, the fans' evaluation of him can indeed affect the club's view of him to a certain extent. On the other hand, he has just taken over Fiorentina and must use these cup trophys to stabilize his position in the team.

Therefore, in a series of warm-up matches before the Italian Super Cup, Capello fully utilized the power of rotation tactics, allowing every player in the first team to get enough playing time, and Capello also used these practical drills to observe the players more carefully.

On July 28, Fiorentina played against Siena, a club belonging to the Tuscan region at home. Bati scored a hat-trick in the game, helping the team sweep their opponents in the same area four to zero.

On August 4, Fiorentina played against the Qatar national team at home. Ronaldo scored twice and Vieri scored a goal. Fiorentina was quite proud of his face and only scored three goals from the eyes of Crown Prince Althani. The Qatar Football Association, who was not short of money, paid a US$3 million for this warm-up match.

On August 8, Fiorentina played against Lazio away, lost Boksic and Di Matteo, and was forced into a Proti whom he didn't need at all by his boss. Zeman's team played extremely awkwardly and eventually lost the game with a terrible affair with zero to two.

On August 11, Fiorentina challenged Chelsea away from the Premier League club. Both sides scored Mars at Stamford Bridge Stadium. In the end, Purple Lily defeated the Blues with a 3-2 win before Inzaghi's final game.

On August 14, Fiorentina played a friendly match with Real Madrid in Madrid, Spain, which was regarded by many media as a battle between Capello and Ranieri, the two Fiorentina head coaches.

Although Mijatovic scored a goal in front of the goal in the 15th minute and scored a first record for Real Madrid, Fiorentina then used a fierce fight to suppress Real Madrid, which lacked Redondo. Ronaldo and Djokaf each scored a goal, leading Fiorentina to reverse their opponents and won five consecutive victories in the warm-up match.

On August 18, Zi Lily ushered in the last warm-up match of the entire summer training session, and returned to home Fiorentina to face the visiting AC Milan.

Facing the "enemy" Sachi, the Fiorentine players were naturally very jealous, and they didn't even use Capello to mobilize before the war and attacked Milan with a scream.

After coaching Milan, Saki's stubborn temper became re-instant. He "entered the palace for the second time" and won the starting lineup of Panucci, who had a tense relationship with him, before this game, and also called it a career to protect young players.

By the way, veteran Tassoti was replaced by Panucci.

Maldini, Baresi, Costacuta, Tasotti, Rossi... Except for 28-year-old Maldini, no one in the Milan defense line is less than 30 years old. Baresi and Tasotti are already 36 years old. Facing the 23-year-old Vieri and the younger Ronaldo, the result can naturally be imagined.

Four to one. If Capello hadn't put it in the end because Milan was his old club, it would have been a little bit difficult.

Winning all six games is the answer given by the Fiorentine players before the start of the Italian Super Cup. Next is the Italian Super Cup that many Fiorentine fans are looking forward to!

On August 25, with the success of the Atlanta Olympics, and under the coordination and organization of the Italian Football Association, this Italian Super Cup was held in New York, the largest city in the United States!

Because Italy won the runner-up in the World Cup held in the United States two years ago, Baggio's tears, who lost a penalty in the final, touched many Americans. In addition, the Italian Olympic team defeated strong enemies and won the final gold medal in the Olympic football match not long ago, which allowed the Italian team to accumulate a lot of fame in the United States. Therefore, this time the Italian Super Cup was chosen to be held in New York, which can be said to be in line with the times and the people's hearts.

Because Fiorentina won two championships in the league and domestic cup last season, as usual, this time the Italian Super Cup match was the "triple-champion" Fiorentina and Atlanta, which won the runner-up in the Italian Cup last season.

Atlanta did not have many heavyweight signings this summer. After all, the club's management style is to rely on its own youth training system to train players and make profits from it. Buying a large amount of money from AC Milan to introduce the world's number one Rentini for US$2 million. In terms of transfer, they sold their defensive player Paul Montero to Juventus, which reduced their defensive ability a lot. Faced with the triple-champion team Fiorentina, which has improved its strength, it seems a little lack of confidence no matter how you look at it.

It seems that in order to give a good start to the new season, and also considering the running-in between new players and teams, Capello did not rashly put these newly introduced players on the starting list in this game.

Goalkeeper Toldo, four defenders from left to right are Fortunato, Ferrara, Nesta and Bilindeli, who are more defensive, mainly because Atlanta's attack line that looks pretty good - Lucarelli, Doni, Mofeo and Rentini's frontcourt offensive combination is enough to make any team drink a pot.

In the midfield, the starting midfielder is still Dibiagio, Argentine Prince Redondo is watching the game on the bench, German Tiger Effenberg is responsible for the team's organization, and the Wild Boar Davis is protecting. The starting front midfielder in this game is Portuguese Rui Costa, because Capello found when studying the game video that after Montero left, Atlanta's defense line's protection against the front of the penalty area has seriously declined, which is very suitable for the traditional front midfielder like Costa.

As for the forward line, the team captain Batistuta won a starting position with his outstanding form and team status, and the "Alien" Ronaldo has become Bati's partner in this game with his comprehensive ability.
