After getting Zhuang Mingge's overture, the new official Maldini Sr. soon announced the new national team squad.

Due to the poor performance of the Italian national team in England's European Championship, many of the internationals who participated in the European Championship have disappeared from the squad announced by Lao Ma. For example, Parma veterans Abroni and Moussi, who have always been regarded by the Italian media as Sachi's descendants, and Costacuta, who has suffered a sharp decline in competitive form but still holds the main central defender position, have all been selected for this national team squad.

This time, Fiorentina, who had been neglected by Sacchi, finally got their rightful place in the national team, and the main goalkeeper Toldo was favored by the old Maldini; In terms of defenders, in addition to Lanna, who has transferred to Inter Milan, Nesta, Ferrara, and Billindeli were all selected, while Zambrotta was unfortunately not selected because he was too young and there was Panucci in the right-back position of the national team; In the midfield, due to the introduction of too many foreign players by the Purple Lily, coupled with the departure of local players such as Kripa and Tacinadi, only Di Biagio was included in the squad this time, plus Filipe Inzaghi in the attack, Fiorentina has a total of six players in the national team squad this time. And, according to the information revealed by Lao Ma in the interview, if nothing else, these Fiorentina internationals will occupy an important place in his national team.

However, while recruiting a large number of newcomers, the old Maldini did not overkill, Paolo Maldini, Dino Baggio, Albertini and other veteran internationals are still in the squad, after all, their ability and competitive state are trustworthy, and it is obviously inappropriate to exclude them.

As for Roberto Baggio and Pagliuca, who have been deliberately suppressed by Sacchi for the past two years, the former impressed the elder Maldini with his outstanding performance in Fiorentina, while the latter made the old horse realize that the former Italian No. 1 international is still at the peak of his career, so the two finally returned to the national team after a two-year absence.

The role of the squad announced this time is more of a symbolic meaning, marking the old Maldini's determination to build a new Italian national team with the Italian youth team that has completed the European Youth Championship three times in a row.

After all, Lao Ma's first international match will not start until the beginning of September, and the first Shijie Cup qualifier of the Italian national team will not start until October 5......

Before that, the new internationals will be required to take part in summer training camps and a series of friendly matches at their respective clubs to prepare for the new season.

In terms of the national youth team, Prandelli learned the truth from the news leaked by the chairman of the Football Association, Perrona, intentionally or unintentionally, and naturally understood the huge role played by Zhuang Mingge in the process of becoming the coach of the national youth team this time. Grateful to Zhuang Mingge, he made up his mind to make a good career at the same time, but also planned to repay Zhuang Mingge, but the smart Prandelli did not express his gratitude to Zhuang Mingge on the surface, but slightly inclined to Zhuang Mingge's Fiorentina when selecting players.

After all, a player as nimble as Prandelli could not afford to make the mistake of giving someone the handle as Sachi, and at most he was biased towards Fiorentina when he had to choose from a few players of similar quality.

And this level of inclination is enough for a goldfinger player with Zhuang Mingge, who is against the sky.

De Sanctis, Zambrotta, Perrotta, C. Zanetti, Gattuso, Andrea Pirlo, Di Natale, Vieri, ...... With a number of young players from Fiorentina in the youth squad, plus Luca Toney on loan at Vicenza and Inzaghi Jr. at Amsterdam, Fiorentina quietly occupy half of the Italian youth squad.

With that out of the way, let's turn our attention back to Fiorentina.

A little over a month after announcing his appointment as Fiorentina manager, Fabio Capello has finally ushered in his first training session in the Renaissance capital, where he will embark on a half-month summer training camp before leading the team to a series of warm-up matches in preparation for the upcoming Italian Super Cup.

Just a few days after the start of the training camp, the resolute Capello divided the players into two categories, namely the main players in his mind and the substitute players who played a rotation role.

In terms of goalkeepers, the main force is naturally Francesco Toldo, and Capello is optimistic about the young goalkeeper with long arms and believes he is enough to be a mainstay of the team for the next decade.

As for Toldo's substitute, it is still only 22-year-old Guadalben, this young man has good strength, according to Mulensten's words, he can be the main goalkeeper of the middle and lower reaches of Serie A, and Guadalben Although he has not had many opportunities to play in the past few years, he has not expressed his dissatisfaction with this, and he is very content with the position of substitute goalkeeper, and he is conscientious and never slacks off when he has the opportunity to play, Capello also praised Guadalben's professional attitude.

In terms of full-back, Robert Carlos, who transferred from Inter Milan, quickly conquered Capello with his performances and took over the main left-back position left after Lanna's departure. At right-back, Zambrotta and Billindelli are competing for the role, with Capello intending to decide on a start-up based on specific opponents and the form of the duo

After Filicano left Filicano for the main position, the central defensive combination of Ferrara and Nesta has been completely decided, and there are still evergreens Uncle Verjoward and teenager Jaap Stam on the bench.

In midfield, after the arrival of Fernando Redondo, the departure of Taccinadi and Kripa is not so important, the Argentine's ability can fully make up for the vacancy of the two departures, plus the original Effenberg, Rui Costa, Davies and Djokaeffe, Di Biagio, Tomasi and other stars, Fiorentina's midfield strength has not decreased but increased.

Up front, any one of the Fiorentina fours of Batistuta, Ronaldo, Filippo Inzaghi and Vieri would be enough to scare the Serie A side, and Glen Char, who has moved from the Danish league, could serve as a surprise to provide more variety.

With such a strong first-team squad, coupled with Capello, the most promising coach in Italy in the past decade, Fiorentina's new season is worth looking forward to.
