Seeing AC Milan from Serie A, Rosenburg of Norway, Atletico Madrid and Belgian league champions Club Brugge in a group, while Juventus were in the same group as the declining Ajax, Portuguese giants Porto and Swiss champion Grasshopper Zurich, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but burst into tears.

Instructor! I'm going to change the group!

It can be said that this time, Fiorentina paid a lot of price for the previous scenery, that is, they were divided into a group that was not considered a group of death, but it was by no means easy to play.

The day after the grouping ceremony, Monaco's seaside city finally welcomed the annual heavyweight event, which was the final of the UEFA Super Cup!

The match was seen by many news outlets as the first direct conversation between the former mentor and apprentice duo of Capello and Carlo Ancelotti, and their previous feud at AC Milan was also reported by the paparazzi.

To be honest, although the two had a brief mentorship during their time at AC Milan, the relationship between the two was not good, and it could even be said to be quite bad.

Fabio Capello and Carlo Ancelotti both have backgrounds in Roma and AC Milan, and in the summer of 1991, Capello began his career as head coach of AC Milan when he replaced Sacchi. Ancelotti, who was 32 years old at the time, was ready to end his playing career at AC Milan. It stands to reason that there should be no conflict between the two, but Capello, who has just debuted and is eager to establish his prestige, is trying to make fans forget the previous Sacchi era, and Ancelotti is the representative of Sacchi's time in charge of Milan.

Not only that, but Sacchi also has a good understanding of Ancelotti, and it was he who insisted on bringing in this long-term tired "waste" from Roma, thus cultivating him into the absolute main force of Milan's Champions League two consecutive years. It can be said that Ancelotti is the veteran of AC Milan in the Sacchi era, so Capello brutally suppressed Ancelotti, corrected the newcomer Albertini, and pressed the previous absolute main Ancelotti to the bench, and the result was that Ancelotti only made 12 league appearances in a season in his career.

And the conflict between the master and apprentice finally reached its peak in the closing stage of the league.

It was on 17 May 1992 when AC Milan hosted Hellas Verona. This is the penultimate round of the league and AC Milan's zuihou match at the San Siro, which is equivalent to a farewell match for Carlo Ancelotti, who is ready to hang up his boots.

By this time, AC Milan had already won the league title, and before the game, the media and fans thought that Capello would start Carlo Ancelotti, who had been a substitute for a season. But Capello continued to start the young Albertini, with Carlo Ancelotti prominently seated on the bench. Carlo Ancelotti was furious at Capello's approach, and although Ancelotti finally got a chance to play in the second half and scored twice in a row to help his team win, the bond between him and Capello was over.

This time, Ancelotti finally ushered in a chance to face Capello face to face!

The goalkeeper is Gianluigi Buffon, who has just been promoted from the youth team, the back line is Benarivo, Cannavaro, Thuram and new signing Ezmania Zemaria from left to right, and the veteran Moussi has been put on the bench by Carlo Ancelotti, who values wide attacks, after all, he is 33 years old and really can't constantly sprint back and forth on the flanks like a young man.

In midfield, Argentinian San Signi was pushed into a central midfield role by Carlo Ancelotti to bolster the midfield, while homegrown star Dino Baggio took another place in the starting midfield, with Parma's Academy graduate Brambilla and Croatian Mario Stanic, who moved from Club Brugge in the summer.

Up front, Carlo Ancelotti sent a combination of Crespo and Chiesa, and although there were some concerns about whether the Argentine centre-forward could adapt to the rhythm of European football so quickly, Ancelotti had little choice when the likes of Zola, Meli, Asprilla and Stoichkov all left.

On the Fiorentina side, Capello also lined up a four-four-two formation, but unlike Ancelotti, Capello's starting lineup did not set up a special full-back, and the side attack was more in charge of two full-backs, and other players could pull the side to cooperate according to the situation.

Needless to say, the goalkeeper is still Toldo, Nesta and Ferrara are still starting together to be responsible for the defense of the middle, but the defenders on the left and right sides have been replaced by Robert Carlos and Zambrotta, who are more physical and have a stronger desire to attack, Capello also intends to develop the team's wing attack in this game, after all, there is Batistuta as a super center forward on the front line, and it will be damned if you don't make good use of it.

In midfield, Fiorentina's main defender Di Biagio in the past three years unexpectedly sat on the bench, and Argentine Redondo took his place to start; It is precisely for this reason that Davis was given more defensive tasks by Capello in this game, after all, in this four-man midfield composed of Costa, Effenberg, Redondo and him, he is the only one who can carry all the dirty work - Redondo's defensive ability is either bad, or sometimes his elegant style will affect the overall defensive rhythm of the team, so it is very necessary to equip him with a full-time "bodyguard".

And in Capello's view, Di Biagio and Davis are such characters.

Batistuta was now standing in the middle circle of the pitch, watching Parma's backline with intense eyes. In Barty's eyes, Thuram and Cannavaro are indeed a pair of defenders with complementary styles, both in terms of marking and complementing, they are quite tacit and not bad, and if the rest of Fiorentina encounters this pair, I am afraid that it will be a headache for a long time.

However, it is clear that Barty is not among them, because he has a very huge advantage over these two, and that is ...... Physical fitness!

After all, Thuram and Cannavaro's height is a flaw, even if they have very good jumping ability, after all, in the face of a center of Barty's level, no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to compete for the top every time they jump, and as long as they rise to the top once, it will be a disastrous consequence.

And the shrewd Capello naturally saw the natural deficiencies in Parma's backline, so he sent Vieri and Barty two high school forwards in this game, in order to use their physical advantages to completely break Parma's backline!

Of course, in order to get the Fiorentina players used to this two-tower strategy, Capello also spent a lot of brain cells and saliva this week......
