After the Italian Super Cup, Prato still didn't have the long training camp they needed, because a week later, on 21 August, the Serie B team was in flames, and Prato also had their first Coppa Italia game. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In keeping with his usual style, Spalletti rotated his line-up early in the season based on the importance of the number of games. According to the principle of the first cup and then the league given by Chen Lin, Spalletti divided Prato's games this season into several grades, first of all, the first pot is of course the Cup Winners' Cup, then it is the confrontation with Piacenza, Atalanta, Udinese, Lecce and other strong teams in Serie B, the third is the match with the strong teams in the Italian Cup, the fourth is the match with the middle and lower teams of the second division, and finally the Coppa Italia match with the C1 and C2 teams.

The players of the Prato team were also divided into two sets of lineups: the main team and the substitute. The main lineup basically follows last season's tactics, the strikers are still Vieri and Inzaghi, the Prato twin star duo has shown more and more power, Vieri acts as a header ferry, a pillar center to attract defense during the positional war, and Inzaghi has a keen sense of smell to find holes in the defensive line to complete the fatal blow, Vieri can also act as a beacon in the front field during the counterattack, and his speed is also a huge guarantee for counterattacks, while Inzaghi does not have Vieri's strong explosiveness and speed, But his strong awareness ensures that he can often start one step ahead, and his excellent anti-offside skills are also a counter-attacking weapon.

The midfield is basically the same as last season's lineup, with Leonardo as the left midfielder, Doni as the right midfielder, Dunga as the defensive midfielder, but Effenberg replaced Veron as the playmaker. This midfielder not only has strong vertical attacking ability on both flanks, but also has strong playmaking ability and attacking ability in the middle of Effenberg and Dunga. Defensively, Doni has a comprehensive skill set and is not inferior to the offensive ability, Leonardo simply plays left-back in the Brazilian team, not to mention Dunga, and even Effenberg has a very strong defensive ability. This midfielder can be said to be the strongest link of the Prato team, not only is he well-rounded, both offensive and defensive, but also has a lot of individual strength, and can go up and down.

As for the backline, there were no big surprises, from left to right were Billindeli, Materazzi, Ayala and Zanetti. Materazzi and Ayala complement each other in the middle, and Lindley is more defensive-oriented than the previous Pesoto, somewhat similar to Zanetti's style, of course, modern full-backs cannot be completely devoid of attacking ability. However, the difference between the two is that Zanetti's crossing ability is not good, but he has a strong breakthrough ability, and he is more inclined to cut inside after breaking through on the wing, while Thanindeli is not as physical as Zanetti, but his crosses are very accurate.

In terms of the bench, Spalletti is ready to try another tactic as it is mainly to deal with relatively weak teams. The squad has three strikers, with Montella as the left winger, Di Michele as the right winger, and Li Qiyu or Rigano as the central striker; Midfielders Tomasi, Veron, and Li Tie lined up, with Beron in charge of organizing, and Tomasi and Li Tie in charge of sweeping; The back line is a little special, because compared to other positions, the physical consumption of the central defender is relatively small, so the central defender partner of Materazzi and Ayala will still be retained, but when the two are injured or suspended, let Iuliano and Li Weifeng on top, as for the substitute for the two fullbacks, Spalletti is ready to let Ma Minyu change to the position of left back in the new season, and the right back will be served by Sun Chenghai, but because there are up to three Chinese players in a game, so there will definitely be adjustments at that time, For example, when Ma Minyu and Sun Chenghai play at the same time, Rigano will be the center forward, or Liverani will take Li Tie's position, or the two will simply play one, which can be flexible. The thickness of the Prato bench has increased greatly this season, and for the first time, Spalletti has been torn over who will play and who will not, which can be regarded as a happy annoyance.

The two sets of lineups will be rotated according to different grades of games, for example, if there is a Cup Winners' Cup match this week, then the weekend league will be played by the substitute lineup, anyway, the main team will play the game in the front bracket, and the substitute team will play in the game in the lower bracket. Of course, this is not absolute, and it needs to be flexibly adjusted according to the form of the players, the injury and suspension situation and the technical characteristics of the opponent.

Although due to Chen Lin's decision-making and whims, Prato's pre-season preparation was completely useless, not only did not have enough time for training, but also attracted a large number of big names that Spalletti did not need, making the team now full of factions, just to settle these will cost Spalletti a lot of energy. However, Spalletti still showed the supernatural ability of a future famous coach, and his main squad almost largely followed last season's lineup and tactics, ensuring maximum stability and transition of the team.

And because the opponents in the first few games of the new season are not strong teams, the Prato team won one after another, not only defeating the C1 team Modena in the Italian Cup, but also achieving a good record of three wins and one draw in the second division. Prato's new players have gradually integrated into the team, at least not so strangely with the old players.

However, the victory did not completely hide all the contradictions, because there was one person in the Prato team who was not so happy: Maradona.

At the Super Cup at the start of the season, Maradona's performance won him a lot of praise. I thought that he would start a brilliant season in Prato Phoenix Nirvana, but I didn't expect that a month later, Spalletti always pressed him on the bench, although he often played in the second half, but did not enter the starting force, which made the face-loving old horse feel very unhappy, for this reason, he even missed Spalletti's daily training several times.

This kind of news naturally reflected Chen Lin, but Chen Lin didn't care too much, how could the old man come to Prato without any privileges, people are not completely equal after all. But for the sake of team management, it is definitely necessary to talk to Lao Ma.

Chen Lin met Lao Ma in a high-end apartment in Prato, this is a house rented by the club, four bedrooms and three living rooms of nearly 200 square meters, the appliances are all newly equipped, and the decoration is luxurious, in a high-end residential area, it can be said that the club spent a lot of money. In order to invite the old horse, Chen Lin can be said to have made a lot of money.

Chen Lin first asked about the old horse's living situation, whether he adapted to the environment in Prato? Then pretend to bring up the training inadvertently.

Maradona's face sank suddenly, and he said stiffly: "I have my own personal trainer, and I know that those trainings are more helpful to me." No matter how good the training is, there is no player in the world who can stay out of the game and still be in shape, I need more games......"
