The 1996 Toyota Cup winner is Florence!

After the final whistle, the Fiorentine players celebrated on the court frantically. This year was undoubtedly a successful year for them. They won all the championships they could win and became the first all-time champion team in football!

This unprecedented achievement is enough to make all of them fall into history! And in the next few years, as long as the team's performance does not decline much, Florence will appear in the eyes of fans all over the world as a top giant!

After the game, the award ceremony was naturally the one. The players of the River Plate team didn't know what they were thinking about. After queuing up to get the medals, they walked into the player channel. They knew that tonight, they did not belong to River Plate.

However, before leaving the stadium, Cruise looked at the Fiorentine player who was about to come on stage to receive the prize, and then turned around and walked into the player passage. This scene happened to be accidentally photographed by the cameramen who were taking wonderful shots everywhere...

Of course, the storm caused by this photo will be described later. Now, all the attention in the National Arena is still focused on the Fiorentine players who are receiving medals on the stage.

When head coach Capello and captain Batistuta held up the championship trophy on the temporary simple podium, the atmosphere in the stadium reached its highest point!

Left-back Robert Carlos, who scored two goals in this game, was named the best player of the Toyota Cup and naturally drove away the latest car provided by Toyota. However, when the Brazilian just took the car keys from the representatives of Toyota, he was pulled away by a teammate led by vice captain Effenberg with a wicked smile and said that he would go and celebrate Carlos well.

"Should me a moment." Just as Effenberg and his team were about to go to the hotel to celebrate, head coach Capello suddenly appeared in front of them, with an extremely serious expression, "What are you going to do?"

"Uh, boss, aren't we watching Robert win the best player in this game? We are planning to find a place to celebrate him." Effenberg responded the fastest and immediately replied.

"That's it... Then why don't you call us?" Capello said this, and his expression suddenly became extremely cunning. With a wave of his hand, a bunch of people immediately emerged from behind him. It was Batistuta and others who did not dare to call Effenberg and the others, as well as members of the Florence coaching team.

"Okay, since we are celebrating this kid Robert, how can we lose us? Let's go together! Anyway, the plane back to Florence will take off tomorrow, so we have enough time to celebrate!" Capello said with a wicked smile, and Barty and others behind him were also staring at Carlos with an expression of looking at the fat sheep.

Although he felt that the expressions of these people were a little weird, Carlos didn't say much. He had a reason to invite everyone to have a big meal after winning the Best Player Award. Therefore, after asking the locals for their opinions, Carlos led a large group of people to rush to a high-end hotel in downtown Tokyo.

The result of this is that when the Fiorentina coaching staff and other players left the hotel with full meals and satisfaction, Carlos was crying at a long bill.

"You guys with no conscience! What's more expensive! This meal actually cost me nearly 20,000 US dollars!"

After a short night in Tokyo, all the Florence personnel packed their luggage early the next morning and prepared to take a plane to return to Italy. After all, there is still some time before the winter break, and there are still many games waiting for them.

By the way, four Japanese players including Nakada Hidesu, who were preparing to receive short-term training in Florence, were also on the plane, waiting to follow the first-team players from Florence to Italy.

This is also the result of discussions between Saburo Kawaburi and Zhuang Aige. The chairman of the Japanese Football Association hopes to get these four players to go to Fiorentina to participate in training as soon as possible, even if Christmas is less than a month away (Fiorentina will not arrange training for these Japanese players during the winter break, after all, everyone will have to take a holiday during this period).

Nakada Hidesu and others did not express any objection to this. Although they could not spend a New Year with their families in China, these regrets were nothing for them who could go to Florence one month in advance to attend training and get close to those top stars.

I can't go back to celebrate the New Year this year, and I can do it in the future; but if I miss this opportunity to study abroad, God knows whether there will be any pie to play football in Europe in the future and fall on their heads.

After returning to Italy, the Fiorentine players did not have much rest time because three days later, on December 5, they would also play the final round of the Champions League group stage with the Glasgow Rangers at Frankie Stadium.

Given that most players have just flew over half of the earth and have not even reversed the jet lag, both physical and mental state are not within the normal range, and Fiorentina has already obtained the right to qualify in the group one round ahead of schedule, Capello decided to retain his strength in the last round of group stages and prepare for the weekend's Serie A.

So, under Capello's intentional release, Fiorentina, who played with a full substitute, was beaten by the Rangers 1-2 at home. Scottish veteran McCoister and Fiorentine former player Laudrup Jr. each scored a goal, leading the Scottish Super League giant to win a victory.

However, this victory of the Wanderers failed to change the overall situation in Group B. Fiorentina won the first place in the group with three wins, two draws and one loss and eleven points. Bayern Munich, who beat Gothenburg to the quarterfinals in the last round, was at a disadvantage in the two-round match with Fiorentina, so the Bundesliga class bully with the same record as Purple Lily could only miserably sit in the second seat, waiting for the verdict of the Goddess of Destiny.

However, Trapatoni and the others were not worried for long. When the last round of the three groups in the Champions League the next night, Bayern Munich finally breathed a sigh of relief because their eleven-point score was the second in the six groups, and even higher than Atletico Madrid, which won the top spot in Group C!
