Speaking of Fiorentina's opponent Da Gama in this Toyota Cup final, Zhuang Mingge is not very familiar with it. He knew this club because Raul scored a very exciting goal in the 1998 Toyota Cup final. In addition, "Lone Wolf" who entered his twilight years of career once played for a few years. In addition, Zhuang Mingge can almost be said to know nothing about this club.

However, Karin, who exists as a full-time secretary, fully played her role at this time. A carefully sorted information was placed in front of Zhuang Mingge, which gave him a basic understanding of this Brazilian football team.

The Dagama Club was established in Brazil as early as 1898, and it was named to commemorate. However, when it was first established, its main sport was rowing, because at the end of the 19th century, rowing was very popular in Brazil. It was not until 17 years later, in 1915 that the club established a football branch and has continued to this day.

In the early days of the club's establishment, the problem of racial discrimination in Brazil was very serious. Since most of the players of Da Gama were composed of blacks, Da Gama was excluded by clubs such as Botafogo, Flamenco and Frumenense from Rio de Janeiro. It was not until the 1950s that Da Gama was hit on an equal footing with the other three teams.

In the past eighty years since the team was established, Da Gama has won three Brazilian La Liga titles. This data seems a bit insignificant compared to Brazilian giants such as São Paulo and Flamenco. However, this year, Da Gama, who has been half red and not purple in Brazil, finally became proud - under the leadership of Juninho and the "Beast" Edmunddo, the Brazilian club won the first South American Liberators Cup in the history of its club!

Now, this team of Dagama, who has come to Tokyo, Japan as the South American Cup of Liberators, still has a few powerful players. For example, Juninho, who has made a name for himself in international football with his extremely excellent free kick skills, such as Edmunddo, a Brazilian beast who should have joined Fiorentina this season in history, formed an offensive trident with Batistuta and Rui Costa, and veterans like Mauro Galvo who once represented the Brazilian national team in the Italian World Cup.

There are players with great strength in the front, middle and back three lines. It can be said that Da Gama is at its peak since its founding!

It is precisely for this reason that the fans of Dagama who came from afar are still very excited about the team's performance in this Toyota Cup final. After the team won the league championship and the Liberators Cup, they naturally hope that their beloved team can continue to work hard and win the Toyota Cup championship trophy home, and kill the spirit of Fiorentina, which has achieved two consecutive championships in the Toyota Cup.

At 6 p.m. on December 1, Tokyo National Arena was full. The Toyota Cup finals every year are the most exciting days for Japanese fans. Because only at this time can they have the opportunity to see real games between top teams, rather than warm-up matches that aim to make gold and training.

In the stands, the number of fans wearing Fiorentina purple jerseys is obviously far more than those who support DAGMA. This phenomenon occurs because Kenyon has done a very good job in market development and publicity in Japan over the years, which can bring at least 10 million US dollars in profits to Fiorentina every year. This is simply unattainable for DaGMA, who ignores the development of the Asian market; and the other reason is that Florence's sweeping everything has made the Japanese who worship the strong reach an unparalleled level of recognition of Purple Lily.

Therefore, as long as the game is held in Japan, for Florence, it is almost no different from playing at Frankie Stadium - in the atmosphere on the court, Florence always has an absolute advantage!

"From the card alone, we have a great hope of completing the Toyota Cup three consecutive championships this time." In a VIP box, Zhuang Mingge handed the starting list of both sides to Karin beside him and said, "By the way, when will the game against Barry be arranged by the Football Association?"

The 11th Serie A round between Fiorentina and Bari should have been held three days ago, but because Fiorentina is going to participate in the Toyota Cup, the game was postponed to next year by the Italian Football Association. Otherwise, two games would have to be played in two places tens of thousands of kilometers apart in just three days, with the thickness of the lineup of Fiorentina of this level, would be unbearable.

Moreover, although Fiorentina only needs to play one game in Japan, the team still needs to cooperate with the organizers to do some publicity work during the period before the game begins. In addition, it takes them a lot of time to adapt to the two tasks of venue and jet lag, so the preparation time for a week is only enough.

"According to the news I have received, the Football Association seems to be planning to postpone this game until the end of the 16th round of the league, that is, we will play against Lazio in the middle of the next week." Karin flipped through the notepad and replied, "But in this way, the team's schedule in January will become quite tight."

"Well, that's right. Next month we will play a total of six league games and one Italian Cup, which is basically the rhythm of a week's double game. It seems that Coach Capello is going to spend a lot of brain cells on how to rotate the team."

Just as Karin and Zhuang Mingge were chatting, players from both sides had already appeared on the court, waiting for the referee to blew the opening whistle.

In Fiorentina, Capello lined up a 442 formation in this game. Goalkeeper Toldo and four defenders were Robert Carlos, Nesta, Stam and Zambrota. Marklele and Redondo were both midfielders, Effenberg was in the center to command, and Gattuso was arranged by Capello to specifically target Juninho.

Capello's order to Gattuso was that no matter what method he used, in short, he would not let this organization's midfielder be better, and he would never let him organize the offense calmly in the game.

On the forward line, Vieri and Ronaldo became the starting front team of Fiorentina in this game. The combination of these two bug-level players on the court is a nightmare for all defenders.
