The transfers of Barzali and Bonela did not attract much attention from the outside world. Most media believe that Florence's move was to supplement the slightly weak youth training echelon after the loan at Dinatale, Gattuso and others. Therefore, these media only briefly reported on these transfers and did not pay attention to them.

Zhuang Mingge wants this effect. The best way to protect these young players is to reduce the pressure from the outside world as much as possible before their minds are completely mature, so that they can be more conducive to their growth. After all, there are too few stars like Pele and Maradona who have become famous at a young age and have no crookedness. Many young people whose values ​​are not yet fully mature, and they have stopped moving forward after being tempted by the world of flowers. After briefly releasing their own light in the football world, they quickly fell into silence, far from reaching the height they should have.

If the introduction of Barzali and Bonela is to prepare for the future of Fiorentina, then veteran Kripa returns to Fiorentina on loan is more to allow Capello to have more people to call in the league, Italian Cup and Champions League in the second half of the season.

At this time, Kripa was no longer the defensive player who could cover the entire midfielder at that time. Although his defensive enthusiasm and awareness remained unabated, as he grew older, his physical fitness inevitably declined. Therefore, after playing for a year and a half at Chelsea, he lost in the competition with Boyette and Dennis Wise and others in a downturn.

Chelsea club is unwilling to support such a veteran who cannot play the main player with high salaries, so when Zhuang Mingge issued a loan application to Chelsea, after expressing his willingness to pay Kripa's remaining salary, Bates (Chelsea boss) immediately agreed to the deal and hurriedly sent the veteran to Fiorentina.

Kripa is very happy to be able to return to the familiar Serie A arena. Although judging from his current state, he will definitely not be able to play as the main player in Fiorentina, Purple Lily will still face third-line battles in the second half of the season, so he can still get some playing time. What's more, there is hope for winning some championship honors in Fiorentina. For this veteran who is about to turn 33, these championships can also be used as important bargaining chips to find new owners after the door to transfer is opened in the summer.

Therefore, after considering the above reasons, Kripa happily agreed to the loan invitation for Florence.

While further expanding the depth of the Fiorentine bench, the number of players in the Fiorentine team reached the prescribed 25-player limit. In other words, if people come to the first team again, Capello will have to make choices among these players and pick out a few unlucky guys who cannot participate in the second half of the Serie A season.

Zhuang Mingge and Capello naturally would not do such stupid things that are purely wasted resources and may also affect the harmonious atmosphere in the locker room.

As for the substitute issue of Tordo that Zhuang Mingge and Capello discussed in the first half of the season, it has also been properly resolved.

After the investigation over the past half season, since Desanctis has shown good strength in a limited number of appearances, Capello has initially recognized Desanctis' strength and believes that the young goalkeeper is indeed capable of giving Tordo enough sense of crisis. It is precisely because of this that with the Fiorentina first team having three goalkeepers, Desanctis and Guadalben, Zhuang Mingge naturally does not need to introduce new players in the goalkeeper position to avoid causing internal strife within the team due to uneven playing time, which would be a loss.

Therefore, after renting veteran Kripa from Chelsea for a short term, Zhuang Mingge re-emphasized his energy to introduce potential local young players.

As a result, Bari's Casano, Bologna's Zaccardo, Piacenza's Giladino and others were included in the shortlist. Zhuang Mingge was preparing to select some of them that he was more optimistic about, and then recruit them into the youth team in Florence to continue to expand Florence's youth training camp.

Just as Zhuang Mingge was running around for winter recruitment, Florence finished his last match in January.

In the second leg of the Italian quarterfinals with Udinese, Fiorentina, who was at the Frankie Stadium, faced Zacheroni, the offensive madman, and naturally put on a defensive counterattack.

Desanctis, Fortunato, Matrazi, Ferrara, Angela, Dibiagio, Tomasi, Kripa, Ze Roberto, Ronaldo and Batistuta, these eleven players played Capello's best defensive counterattack tactics in the game.

In this game, Capello chose to put Desanctis on the starting lineup. On the one hand, it was to put enough pressure on Tordo to prevent him from slacking off again; on the other hand, it was to train the young goalkeeper's psychological qualities, and such a knockout match was naturally the best training occasion.

Desanctis did not disappoint Capello's expectations. His performance in this game was quite steady. In the game, he caught high and low blocks, but did not let the ball fly into the goal he guarded. Especially in the 62nd minute of the game, Desanctis blocked Bierkov's header bombardment from five meters in front of the goal line!

Bierhof himself praised Desanques' performance in the game in an interview with the media after the game, believing that if this young man had not destroyed their chances of scoring several times in the game, Udinese would have advanced to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup.

Capello naturally scoffed at Bierkov's comment: "It's so stupid. You can't even solve Desanctis. If I sent Tordo on the field, wouldn't you be even more miserable?"

Facing the formation of Fiorentina's four defenders and three defensive midfielders, although Udinese players who played away relied on their momentum to win several good opportunities to score, after these shots were blocked by Desanctis one by one, Udinese players whose physical fitness and momentum began to fall to the trough began to make more mistakes on the court, and Fiorentina's counterattack became more and more sharp.

In the end, with Batistuta's powerful free kick in the 78th minute of the second half, Fiorentina defeated Udinese 1-0, and eliminated his opponent with a total score of 3-1, successfully advanced to the Italian Cup semi-finals.
