On the afternoon of May 23, Fiorentina arrived at Italy's famous Devil's Stadium, Stadio Santa Elia, where they will play the home team Cagliari in the 34th round of Serie A.

Despite the fact that Capello, who had announced his departure, was now completely distracted from the game and Cagliari still had home advantage, the Fiorentina players did not give up on the game - after the worst season in nearly four years, they wanted to end the final game with a victory, and a victory to comfort the fans who had always supported them and themselves.

Although the morale of the players is quite high, Capello, who has completely turned against the club, did not seriously prepare for the game, but only submitted an eighteen-man squad and starting lineup before the deadline, and the rest of the time was basically used to make eye for other teams that were interested in him.

So, when Mourinho, as an assistant coach, announced the starting list for the next day among the players, all the Fiorentina players were shocked.

The starting goalkeeper was Guadalben, who had not played a few games in almost a season, with Fortunato, Hyypia, Ferrara and Madavecchia in the back four from left to right, and Swiss Voger in midfield as a lone midfielder, Bresciano and Ljungberg on the wings, Deco in the middle, and Di Natale and Inzaghi up front.

me, Capello, you're definitely deliberately releasing water! When you go to Cagliari, the home stadium of Italy's famous devils, you send either Ferrara and Guadalben, whose form is unknown, or Volger and Fortunato, who are not in the same form and strength as the main Serie A players, and even the starting striker is Di Natale...... You know, Vieri and Ronaldo are not in any physical condition at all, and they are fully fit enough to play the last 90 minutes of the game!

Therefore, in the eyes of all Fiorentina players, Capello's move is undoubtedly a demonstration to Zhuang Mingge. The extremely stubborn manager intends to use this extreme way to prove that Fiorentina's current bench is simply vulnerable compared to the luxurious bench of previous years!

After figuring this out of this, Di Natale and other players who were given the chance to start also looked angry - isn't this a clear disdain for them?

It is said that when Effenberg learned the news, the German tiger was so angry that he even wanted to rush to Capello's office to drag the irresponsible manager out and beat him up, but fortunately, Redondo and Vieri were quick to move, and Mourinho was constantly persuaded on the side, which did not let the German stage a live PK with Capello on the training ground.

Although the entire Fiorentina team was extremely unhappy with Capello's deliberate abandonment of the game, they could not change that fact. After all, Capello is still the manager of Fiorentina, and it is his responsibility to arrange the lineup, and the players have no right to interfere with it.

However, in the case of the head coach of this side actively acting as an undercover agent for the enemy, the Fiorentina players did not give up the game because of this, although they were slightly inferior to Cagliari in terms of overall strength and tacit understanding, but they showed several tenacious fighting spirit and desire to win in this game!

In the end, after 90 minutes of battle with their opponents, Fiorentina and Cagliari, who came on as substitutes, ended the 1998-99 season with a surprising draw! At the same time, it also proves to everyone who follows this game that even if they have few opportunities in Fiorentina, they are definitely not the so-called parallel goods in Capello's mouth!

With the round-robin stage coming to an end (because the fourth-to-last team is still playing the relegation play-offs), the dust has settled on the Serie A table this season.

Fiorentina won the Serie A title for the fifth time in a row with 78 points from 24 wins, six draws and four defeats, which is also the lowest score for the Purple Lilies since returning to Serie A. This shows how fierce the competition is in Serie A this season, with nearly a third of the top teams like Fiorentina failing to win.

AC Milan, who won seven consecutive league wins in the sprint stage, overtook Lazio to win the league runners-up, exited the European Cup Winners' Cup early, the Coppa Italia also lost in the semi-finals, and the league was left behind by Fiorentina by a large distance, a runners-up title can be said to be the most important gift from Zaccheroni and AC Milan players on the club's centenary. Of course, for the Rossoneri, who were still dominant in Europe a few years ago, the gift was only a Serie A runner-up, which was too shabby.

Among the other teams in contention for a European spot, Lazio and Parma qualified for next season's Champions League in third and fourth place, while Roma in fifth, Inter Milan in seventh and Udinese in eighth place qualified for the UEFA Cup.

As for Vicenza, who are sixth in the standings, this small club unexpectedly broke the curse of no one being able to defend the European Cup Winners' Cup this season, and the team led by Little Zhuge Guidolin defeated Mallorca, known as the "second oldest in 10,000 years", in the final to stand on the podium of the European Cup Winners' Cup for the second time in a row!

Therefore, after successfully defending the Cup Winners' Cup, Vicenza did not qualify for the Champions League and rightfully got a ticket to the Cup Winners' Cup - in the three major European cup rankings, the Cup Winners' Cup is not as high as the Champions Cup, but it is ahead of the League Cup, so according to UEFA regulations, Vicenza's qualification for the League Cup was postponed, which is cheaper than Udinese, who is eighth in the league.

Despite finishing 10th in the table, Bologna had the best luck among the lower middle teams - with the other three teams that reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia (Parma, Fiorentina, AC Milan) all qualifying for the Champions Cup, they qualified for next season's Cup Winners' Cup!

AC Milan last season and Bologna this season, both of which are in the middle of the league, have been given a chance to play in European competitions in the Coppa Italia. With such a precedent, it is natural that all the Serie A teams who are unable to afford to fight for a good place in the league have begun to focus on next season's Coppa Italia, wondering if they can also use guò as a way to make the team go on the European stage and make some benefits......

As for the league champion Fiorentina, although they have completed the feat of five consecutive Serie A titles this season, becoming the second team after Juventus in the early thirties to win five consecutive Serie A titles, thus completely confirming the status of the purple lily as the top giant in Italian football. But the team's exit in the Champions Cup and Coppa Italia, and the fact that they fell to the ground at the very moment before almost touching the threshold of victory, is obviously not satisfactory to people, especially Zhuang Mingge.

All in all, this season has been nothing short for Fiorentina.
