The transfers of Barzagli and Bonella did not attract much attention from the outside world, and the vast majority of the media believed that Fiorentina's move was to supplement the slightly weakened youth echelon after the loan of Di Natale, Gattuso and others, so these media only reported on these transfers briefly, and did not focus on them.

Zhuang Mingge wants this effect, and 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 as to be more conducive to their growth. After all, there are too few stars like Pele and Maradona who rose to fame at a young age and didn't grow crooked. Many young people whose values have not yet fully matured, who have become famous at a young age, have stopped moving forward after being tempted by the world of flowers, and quickly fell silent after a brief release of their light in football, far from reaching the heights they should have.

If the likes of Barzagli and Bonella were brought in to prepare for Fiorentina's future, then the return of veteran Kripa to Fiorentina on loan was more to give Capello more personnel to call on in the league, Coppa Italia and Champions League in the second half of the season.

At this time, Kripa is no longer the defensive titan who can cover the entire midfield with a range of running, although the enthusiasm and awareness of the defense are still undiminished, but with the increase of age, his physical fitness has inevitably declined. As a result, after a year and a half at Chelsea, his form has declined and he has lost out against the likes of Poyet and Dennis Wise.

Chelsea FC was unwilling to use a high salary to support such a veteran who could not play the main team, so when Zhuang Mingge applied for a loan from Chelsea, after expressing his willingness to pay the remaining salary of Kripa, Bates (Chelsea owner) 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 field, although with his current form, he will certainly not be able to play in the main team at Fiorentina, but the Purple Lily still have to face a third-tier battle in the second half of the season, so he can still get some playing time. What's more, there is still hope for some trophies at Fiorentina, and for the veteran, who is about to turn 33, these titles could also serve as an important bargaining chip in his search for a new club when the transfer door opens in the summer.

Therefore, after considering the above reasons, Kripa readily agreed to Fiorentina's loan offer.

The arrival of Kripa further expanded the depth of Fiorentina's bench and brought the Fiorentina first team to the required 25-man limit. In other words, if there are any more players in the first team, then Capello will have to make a choice between these players and pick out a few unlucky ones who will not be able to play in the second half of the Serie A season.

For this kind of stupid thing that is a pure waste of resources and may affect the harmonious atmosphere of the dressing room, Zhuang Mingge and Capello will naturally not do it.

As for the issue of Toldo's substitution, which was discussed by Zhuang Mingge and Capello in the first half of the season, it has also been properly resolved.

After this half-season of investigation, because De Sanctis has shown good strength in a limited number of appearances, Capello has initially recognized De Sanctis's strength, believing that the young goalkeeper does have the strength to make Toldo have enough sense of crisis. It is precisely for this reason that in the case of the Fiorentina first team with three goalkeepers, Toldo, De Sanctis and Guadalben, Zhuang Mingge naturally has no need to introduce new people in the goalkeeper position, so as not to cause infighting within the team due to uneven playing time, which will outweigh the losses.

As a result, after a short-term loan of veteran Kripa from Chelsea, Zhuang Mingge has refocused his efforts on bringing in promising young homegrown players.

As a result, Cassano of Bari, Zacardo of Bologna, Gilardino of Piacenza and others have been included in the shortlist, and Zhuang Mingge is ready to select some of them that he is personally more optimistic about, and then recruit them into the youth team of Florence to continue to expand the youth camp of Florence.

While Zhuang Mingge was running around for winter reinforcements, Fiorentina played the last game of January.

In the second leg of the Coppa Italia quarter-final match against Udinese, Fiorentina at the Stadio Franky faced Zaccheroni, an attacking maniac, and rightfully put on a counter-attacking posture.

De Sanctis, Fortunato, Materazzi, Ferrara, Angeloma, Di Biagio, Tomasi, Cripa, Ze Roberto, Ronaldo and Batistuta were the eleven players who played Capello's best counter-attacking tactics during the game.

In this game, Capello chose to put De Sanctis in the starting lineup, on the one hand, to put enough pressure on Toldo so that he would not start slacking off again; On the other hand, it is planned to exercise the psychological quality of the young goalkeeper, and such a knockout match is naturally the best training occasion.

De Sanctis lived up to Capello's expectations and was solid in this game, where he blocked high and low and didn't let the ball fly into his goal. Especially in the 62nd minute of the game, De Sanctis blocked Bierhoff's header bombardment from five meters in front of the goal on the goal line!

Speaking to the media after the game, Bierhoff himself praised De Sanctis's performance in the game, believing that if the youngster had not ruined several of their must-score chances in the game, the team would have been Udinese who had qualified for the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

Capello naturally scoffed at Bierhoff's comment: "It's really stupid, you can't even solve it with De Sanctis, if I send Toldo, wouldn't you be even more miserable?" ”

In the face of Fiorentina's back four and three defensive midfielders, although the Udinese players who played away relied on a momentum to fight for several good chances, but after these shots were blocked by De Sanctis one by one, the Udinese players who began to fall into a trough in terms of fitness and momentum began to make more mistakes on the field, 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 at home, eliminated the opponent with an aggregate score of 3-1 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup.

The league standings are far ahead, and now the Coppa Italia is also in the semi-finals, plus this season's European Champions Cup, there are basically no opponents from all walks of life from Europe who can compete with the purple lilies in hard power...... From these aspects, the "Triple Crown", an honor worthy of history, seems to be beckoning to Fiorentina again.
