In the post-match press conference, Juventus coach Lippi strongly questioned the validity of Inzaghi's goal, believing that Super-Pippo's goal was extremely offside, and the referee of the game, Corina, made a mistake in the game.

"Obviously, there should have been a good game here tonight, but the referee messed it up." At the press conference, Lippi said that the Silver Foxes were clearly very unhappy with the team's late goal being scored by Inzaghi.

After hearing Lippi's complaints, the reporters present put a lot of long guns and short guns in front of Capello, of course, they wanted to see the two managers put on a war of words at the press conference, and the bigger the trouble, the better - otherwise, how could these reporters have a selling point to attract fans?

After so many years in Serie A, how could Capello be fooled like this? He smiled at a crowd of reporters and ignored Lippi's accusations: "As the manager of Fiorentina, my task is to lead the team to victory, not something else...... Was Philip's goal controversial? You should ask Mr. Corina this question, and not ask my opinion here, for I am not a professional in this field. ”

Capello's statement was met with disdain from all the reporters present, and he said that you, a manager, still don't know the rules of the football game? What's more, it's still the official explanation about offside, if you don't keep it in mind, you will see the hell!

Lippi's fury at the post-match press conference landed him a $10,000 fine. In the latest reform plan of the Italian Football Federation, it is clearly stipulated that the words and deeds of coaches and players are clearly stipulated, and if they are not satisfied with some of the penalties in this game, they can submit a written report and relevant evidence to the Italian Football Federation after the game, instead of lashing out at the referee's decision at the press conference.

What's more, from the slow motion it shows that at the moment of Redondo's pass, Inzaghi's entire body did not exceed the offside line at all. So, there was nothing wrong with Collina's decision, and Lippi was all looking for a plausible excuse for the defeat in this crucial match.

Since there was no problem with Collina's decision, the Italian Football Federation naturally had no pressure to punish Lippi.

After beating Juventus 3-2, Fiorentina once again had a national team break. This time, Maldini Sr.'s Italian national team will take on the England national team at the San Siro Stadium.

Ahead of the game, Italy's group qualification was clear – with the exception of leaders Italy and the Three Lions, who were two points away, a win in this round would not be able to catch them at the top of the table. In other words, the outcome of this match will directly determine who will become the final group winner and get a ticket to France for next year's World Cup.

While the losing side will also have a chance to compete for a ticket to France in the play-offs after guò, it is clear that no national team wants to play any play-offs if they have the potential to qualify directly for the World Cup.

Therefore, in this game that can be called a life-and-death battle between the two national teams, the two national team coaches Maldini Sr. and Hoddle, both sent the strongest lineup they could take.

For England, goalkeeper Seaman, defenders Gary Neville, Saul Campbell, Tony Adams and Graeme Blackmail, David Beckham, Paul Ince, McManaman and Paul Scholes formed the Three Lions' starting midfield, while England's top centre-forward Shearer and this season's fast-rising supernova Michael Owen were partnered up front.

Looking at the old Maldini's side, the goalkeeper is the experienced first-class goalkeeper Pagliuca; At the back, Panucci, Nesta, Ferrara and Maldini all came on; Albertini, Dino Baggio and Di Biagio form a back three, with Roma youngster Totti, who has recently been heavily valued by the old Maldini, as the starting midfielder; In response to the weaknesses exposed by the England backline in the Four Nations Invitational, this time the old horse chose Pierrot and Da Inzaghi to partner in the attack, and the powerful center Vieri sat on the bench at any time.

From all points of view, the only thing that England's starting lineup is stronger than Italy's should be physical......

England started the game with the start of the attack, after all, they are now two points clear of their opponents in the table, and if they can't win this game, then the Three Lions will have to go to the World Cup play-offs with seven other brothers.

On the other hand, the pressure on the Italians is much less, and they will be able to qualify as group winners as long as they do not lose this game. Therefore, before the start of the game, the elder Maldini set the tone for this game as a defensive counter-attack.

Of course, in order to make the players understand their intentions correctly, the elder Maldini deliberately emphasized the necessity of many counterattacks with the players, lest these guys patronize the defense and forget to attack, and the team will eventually lose a good game.

Faced with opponents who took the initiative to press the attack, the Italian players formed a defensive line in their own half to fend off the opponent's seemingly offensive attack.

The reason why it seems to be fierce is mainly because the overall strength of this England team is indeed not as good as the one in last year's European Championship - Gascoigne's self-indulgence has left the England national team without a big player who can be deployed in midfield, and it has also made the Three Lions, who are not good at controlling the rhythm and can only rush and attack, become more chaotic in terms of organising attacks.

Paul Scholes is a shadow striker under the guise of a midfielder, McManaman is a technical stream of wide attackers, and Paul Ince is a defensive stalwart but playmaker. The fledgling Beckham had a talent for it, but the Englishman, who had become impatient after the Heysel tragedy, did not give him enough room to grow, instead positioning him as a super-notch crosser.

There is not even a person who can stabilize the rhythm of the game, and it is not surprising that the England national team is out early every year.

So, under the fan of Zhuang Mingge's little butterfly, the old Maldini's "improved" Italian national team did not lose a good game at the last moment as in history and was overtaken by the English in the final stage, but with the goals of Pierrot and Inzaghi, Hoddle's team was kicked into the big hole called the World Cup play-offs with a score of 2-0, which is really gratifying.

As soon as the players returned from the national team, Capello immediately began another round of pre-match preparations with the first team. Fiorentina will face the second round of the Champions League group stage on October 15, three days from now, with Fabio Capello's side taking on visiting English side Liverpool at the Stadio Franqui.
