After the win over Arsenal, Fiorentina continued their scheduled warm-up campaign non-stop:

On August 9, Fiorentina staged a passionate battle with De Jaminha, Mauro Silva and other famous players in front of tens of thousands of fans at home, and finally defeated the opponent 4-3 and won another victory without danger.

On August 13th, all the members of the Japanese national team visited Fiorentina, and in order to better see the most real gap between themselves and the top European teams in order to better see the most real gap between themselves and the top European teams, they specially asked Fiorentina not to release water in the game when arranging friendly matches, so that the two sides can play a real game.

I have to say that for this friendly match, the Japanese Football Association can be said to have invested a considerable amount of money, not only brought all the main international players including Hidetoshi Nakata and Shunsuke Nakamura to Florence on this trip to Florence, but also paid up to $2 million in sponsorship to Fiorentina to show their sincerity in wanting to play a real game.

Although the main players such as Vieri and Ronaldo have not yet adjusted to their best condition due to the World Cup syndrome, it is still more than enough to deal with these mediocre Japanese players in front of them.

As a result, Capello and a vote of Fiorentina's main players killed the suspense of the game in only 45 minutes, and beat Japan with a series of combination punches.

In the end, when the game was over, the score was fixed at 6-0, which was the result of the Fiorentina players deliberately playing leisurely in the second half, otherwise it would not have been impossible to score double-digit goals in this game.

This game also made the Japanese Football Association see its own shortcomings, not only on the technical level, but also in the physical aspect - in the face of the crazy off-ball running and tight chain defense of the Fiorentina players, the Japanese team, which was already the Achilles heel of the opponent, was quickly dragged down by the opponent and then beaten by the beating, and there was no way to fight back.

So, after being taught a hard lesson, the Japanese Football Association ended the trip to Florence and honestly returned to China to seriously sum up the lessons learned.

"Antonio, Sun Jihai has been loaned to Ajax, the first team has a vacant spot now, do you think we should bring in another striker to strengthen the team's bench depth in the front line?" Early the morning after the friendly match with the Japanese national team, Antonioni found Zhuang Mingge, who was in the office and was going to eat Karin tofu, deliberately ignored the latter's somewhat darkened face, and said seriously, "Compared with the extremely well-equipped midfield, I think we still have fewer substitutes in the front line." In the unlikely event that Ronnie or others miss midway through the season, then we will have to start with Di Natale as the fourth striker...... But then there is no one on the bench to rotate with them, which is a very dangerous situation and we have to do not do a little more to prepare. ”

"However, Giancarlo, if there is a real shortage of manpower in the front line, the team can switch to a single striker tactic." Zhuang Mingge pointed out the omission in Antonioni's words, saying, "Don't forget, we at Fiorentina have never been a team that sticks to a certain formation. ”

"If you're playing as a lone striker, then I think we should strengthen the reserve of wide players. After all, the only wingers in the team are Ljungberg and Di Natale who can play the role of wingers at the moment, and Ronny can make a cameo once in a while, but it is not a long-term solution after all. And once there is no side attack to pull the space on the court, when the attack can only be launched from the middle, the opponent can relax the side defense and deploy heavy troops in the middle to deal with us. "On the issue of Fiorentina, Antonioni has never given an inch, unless the other party has a way to convince him," although Carlos and Zambrotta both have the ability to open up an entire wide line, but the two substitutes Fortunato and Madavecchia do not have this ability, and when these two are on the pitch, our Fiorentina power on the wing is not a little bit lower. ”

"Well, Giancarlo, you're right, it's really my negligence." Zhuang Mingge also realized the mistake he made when building Fiorentina at this time, and changed his words, "After the glory of the past four years, I think many teams are now familiar with our Fiorentina tactics of not having traditional wingers and changing to fullbacks, and we should also formulate a lot of targeted tactics for our style of play." Therefore, it is time to actively seek more tactical changes, otherwise if someone does find the team's goal, then it will be our turn to be dumbfounded. ”

As for the advantages and disadvantages of this tactic that Florence is now using, Zhuang Mingge is very clear in his heart. By increasing the frequency of assists in the game, the full-backs can indeed save the team's personnel investment on the flanks for a certain period of time, and take the opponent by surprise, so that the team can form a numerical advantage in the middle, and then tear apart the opponent's defense more easily, and finally convert this advantage into a goal.

However, there is also a big side effect of this style of play, which is that when the full-backs press up to participate in the attack, they leave a large amount of space behind them for the opposition players to gallop around.

Fiorentina could not have given much thought to this flaw before, on the one hand, because Carlos and Zambrotta are the kind of monsters who can take on the team's side attack and defense on their own, and at the same time have enough body to get back to their own defense in time; On the other hand, defensive midfielders such as Tomasi and Di Biagio will continue to pull to the side in the game to fill in for Carlos, who has stepped forward to assist, to make up for this shortcoming.

And now, with the departure of the three players of Di Biagio, Davies and Tomasi, and the new signings such as Makelele have not yet fully integrated into the team's tactical system, it is impossible for Capello to use this tactic, because this requires a high tacit understanding between the players, and a bad match is likely to make the opponent drive straight into the team and directly threaten his own goal.

What's more, those teams that have been delving into Fiorentina's weaknesses will also make a big fuss on the wings, increasing their strength to break through the weakest side of Fiorentina's defense, so as to tear apart Fiorentina's defense and add a heavy weight to their own side on the balance of victory.

At the European Championships two years ago, Poboski was able to surprise Maldini, then known as the world's number one left-back, in a one-on-one situation, opening the door to victory for the Czechs, and Zhuang Mingge did not think that his Fiorentina would be able to survive against a wide attacker of this calibre.

Therefore, strengthening the wing force has naturally become the main purpose of Fiorentina's reinforcements this time.
