After the second round of the Four Nations Invitational Tournament, Italy topped the four teams with four points from one win and one draw, followed by England (three points), Brazil (two points) and France (one point) in second to fourth place.

With only one round left in the tournament, the host of this invitational tournament, France, is almost certain to miss the title, while Italy is the most likely of the four teams to win the title, and Maldini Sr.'s team only needs to beat France in one game to secure the first place.

As for England and Brazil, they will have to do everything they can to beat each other in their next match, while also hoping that Italy will not be able to beat France if they have any hope of finishing first.

Three days later, Maldini continued his rotation experiments, reverting to the same form he had against England in the final game against France, as well as making changes to his starting line-up.

The goalkeeper was replaced by Pagliuca, and Maldini and Panucci reappeared in the starting line-up after a game break, but the centre-back duo became the youngsters of Cannavaro and Nesta, and Maldini Sr. seemed to want to see if they could develop good chemistry in the centre-back position.

Four players from Chelsea and Fiorentina split the four positions in midfield, with Gianfranco Zola, who has flourished for the Blues this season, up front, his Chelsea team-mate Roberto Di Matteo replacing Albertini in midfield, Di Biagio returning to the starting XI after a one-game break, and teenager Tomasi also getting his chance to start for the national team.

In attack, Maldini Sr.'s choice was quite surprising, with Roberto Baggio and Pierrot both missing out on the squad for the last game, suggesting that the Italian position of the number nine and a half was far less important to the elder Maldini than his predecessors. The old horse prefers an impactful centre-forward like Vieri and a pure goalscorer like Inzaghi to a nine-and-a-half.

Therefore, the old horse sent Chiesa and Casiracci in this game, the former's all-round shooting and the latter's impact can be called complementary in the eyes of the elder Maldini.

The French team coach Jacques and the old Maldini have the same plan, and he made a more thorough rotation for the same purpose of training, and even Zidane, the core of the team, and the vice-captains Deschamps and Blank were put on the bench, which shows the great rotation of the French team in this game.

But in this way, the result of this game can be imagined.

At any given time, there is no shortage of good players in French football, but the real glory times of the French national team are only a handful, and the reason is that France has always lacked a leader who can bring these players together who are romantic by nature.

Therefore, the French team without Zidane's pressure is not a strong team at all, and the players can't twist a rope on the field, and the result is that they are beaten by the Italians again and again.

3-0, this is the score displayed on the big screen in the stadium when the referee blows the final whistle, Italy beat France "away".

With this victory, the Apennines won the first place in the Four Nations Invitational Tournament with two wins and one draw, although there was no gold medal and trophy, but this honor was enough to make the Italian fans a little excited.

On the other side, Hodel's Three Lions were defeated after a tenacious 90-minute battle with their opponents, with Romario's goal securing the only victory in the competition and sealing the place for runners-up.

England, who lost the game, were in third place, and the host France, who had not won a game and only got a draw in the opening game, were at the bottom of the rankings, which looked very embarrassing.

Although the host's poor results in the four-nation invitational tournament held in France were very disappointing to French fans, in other aspects, the invitational tournament still played a very positive role in promoting it.

For the Shijie Cup Organizing Committee and the French Football Association, it has played a role in warming up the atmosphere for next year's Shijie Cup; For the head coaches of various football powers, it also gives them a deeper understanding of the current situation of the teams they command, so that they can have a year to strengthen the current shortcomings of the team; For the fans, this invitational tournament has given them an extra conversation in this boring summer; For the owners and executives of clubs such as Zhuang Mingge, Moggi and Galliani, this invitational tournament can be said to be a great opportunity to observe their favorite players; And for these players, this invitational tournament is not a stepping stone for them to impress the giants?

Although the French national team finished bottom of the invitational tournament, the ability of these French players in the game impressed many managers who came to watch the game, and the decline of the French league over the years has made it easier for French players to stay abroad.

After Arsene Wenger, the club's meritorious manager, announced that he would leave at the end of the season, the team that had just completed three consecutive Ligue 1 titles couldn't help but feel a little uneasy under the impact of this blockbuster news, and many players also raised their minds about transferring after seeing the manager find another job.

Monaco itself is a poor team, and the reason why it can have so many good players is because Wenger is good at developing young players, and on the other hand, it also has the credit of Zhuang Mingge's guidance.

Otherwise, with the little financial resources of the Monaco club, do you still want to complete the Ligue 1 three times in a row? Winning a championship is considered to be the smoke of their ancestral grave.

Now, manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed his departure, and the Monaco players have finally stopped and have begun to submit transfer applications to the club, expressing their desire to play in a higher league.

And the teams that learned the news also moved randomly, rushing to this European gambling city with a lot of dollars, ready to buy their long-cherished target here.

Under the coaxing of a club brandishing a cheque book, the Monaco top management was finally brought down by a series of gold dollar shells, and after the Ajax supermarket, the Monaco supermarket was officially opened.

The main central defender Ismael decided to go to Serie A, and as a defender, it was a good choice to experience the legendary Italian defence; Left-back Candela is said to be being targeted by both Real Madrid and Roma; Trezeguet and Thierry Henry were also hit by the top three from the north.

The Premier League teams, which have been looking for high-level players, have also come out in a group to carve up Monaco: Everton have their eye on Duckett, Chelsea have taken a fancy to Leboeuf, and Pire and Petit have been eye-to-eye with Arsenal under their mentor Arsene Wenger......

The summer transfer market in '97 is still exciting.
