After talking about the highlights of this game, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams in this final.

On the Fiorentina side, Capello, who was experimenting with a wide attacking model, naturally turned this final into his first real field, changing the formation from four to four or two to a more suitable for wide players.

Compared with Fiorentina's regular squad last season, Capello did not make many changes in the configuration of the starting goalkeeper and backline in this game, except for the seriously injured Ferrara who was replaced by Dutch international Stam, Toldo, Nesta, Robert Carlos and Zambrotta all appeared in the starting lineup.

The changes in midfield were also limited to the defensive midfield, with the departure of Davies, Di Biagio and Tomasi this summer, so Capello opted for Claude Makelele to start this game, while the two homegrown youngsters Gattuso and Zanetti were left on the bench to be called up. As for the Swiss Volger, the hapless kid didn't even qualify to sit on the bench and could only sit in the stands to watch his teammates perform.

Redondo and Effenberg occupy the other two starting midfield positions, so to speak, and as long as their form is not out of question, Fiorentina will always have their names in the starting line-up.

On the forward line, Vieri, who won the top scorer honor with an absolute advantage of nine goals in the just-concluded World Cup in France, has become Fiorentina's chief center forward; Appearing on the right winger is Swedish teenager Ljungberg, a young player who has a very good grasp of the timing of the game, and belongs to the kind of player who knows when to do something, not the wingers who only know a tendon to the end; Alien Ronaldo was placed on the left side by Capello, although the teenager Di Natale can also play the position of left winger, but now he is obviously not comparable to Ronaldo, who has the ability to break through against the sky.

However, Capello did not rigidly limit the alien to the left winger, but instead gave him considerable freedom, allowing the Brazilian to adapt to the situation on the field, whether he could pull on the wing to provide assists for his teammates in the middle, or move to the middle to form a double shot with Vieri...... All in all, Capello's positioning of Ronaldo is just a fictitious left winger, and as for how to play, it is completely up to the aliens to decide!

In other words, as long as Ronaldo can put all his energy into the game, then Capello will give him absolute offensive autonomy on the field!

After all, Fiorentina has a big killer like Carlos who can break through the entire left side on his own in the left-back position, so there is no need for Capello to fix the equally capable aliens in a certain area, which will only cause an unwarranted waste of resources and make Ronaldo dissatisfied.

Historically, the reason why Ronaldo chose to leave Inter Milan, who treated him well, was largely because of the irreconcilable contradiction between him and the then Nerazzurri coach Cooper, and Moratti, who was full of champions, chose to support the latter at that time, which led the aliens to throw themselves into the arms of Real Madrid under Florentino's **.

Therefore, if you want to keep the atmosphere of the team stable and harmonious, strict and fair discipline is one thing, and it is also necessary to give players a certain amount of freedom to play.

After introducing Fiorentina's starting line-up, let's take a look at the line-up from Vicenza.

Since this is the first UEFA Super Cup final since the establishment of the Vicenza team, Guidolin began to plan for this game early, according to the Fiorentina game video, the manager with the reputation of "Little Zhuge " made a series of targeted arrangements. One of them was to make a big fuss on the wings, using the numerical advantage on the flanks to squeeze Fiorentina's two full-backs, and then settling the battle with Toney's height and Larsson's goalmouth grab.

So, on this night, Guidolin finally sent out his long-awaited starting line-up: goalkeeper Balotta, defenders from left to right, Koko, Repka, Onopco and Odor, Ambrosini and Ballack in the middle of the midfield, Ambrosetti and Kanchelski on the wings, and high striker Luka Toney and Swedish striker Larsson.

As for Mofeo, who is regarded as the natural stand-in for Pirlo after leaving, but was not arranged by Guidolin in the starting lineup, it is obvious that Xiao Zhuge is still quite worried about Fiorentina's strong midfield, he is worried that Mofeo's appearance will not only not bring much advantage to the team in attack, but will allow Fiorentina to open a gap in the middle because of his weak defensive ability.

However, what Guidolin didn't expect was that Fiorentina also used a two-sided forward tactic in this game, making the two teams completely equal in the number of people on the wing, so that his plan was stillborn before the game even started.

However, Guidolin was not discouraged by this, after all, he had a lot of tactics against Fiorentina's players, and as long as his own players can implement them carefully, there is a chance to score or even win in the game.

Once the match began, Fiorentina, who had won the right to kick off, were the first to storm the gates of Vicenza!

Capello's summer of meticulous training on both wings created huge problems for the opponent as soon as he came up, and the combined impact of Ljungberg and Zambrotta on the right flank made the opposing Koko and Ambrosetti scramble, but the two still relied on their tacit understanding and the strength of the former to desperately stabilize the left defense of Vicenza, and were not lightly beaten by Fiorentina as soon as they came up.

On the other side of the pitch, Cancherski and Odoko are not as lucky as Koko and Ambrosetti, not to mention that Carlos and Ronaldo are both masters of one-on-one or even one-to-many situations, just talking about the defensive ability of these two, you can imagine what a huge defensive hole there is in Vicenza's right defense!

In the face of Fiorentina, a team with a top attacker, still has such obvious weaknesses, Vicenza can really be said to be properly dying.

Just three minutes into the game, Ronaldo and Robert Carlos played a two-on-one combination on the left side in a row, and after all the opposing Cancherski and Otto were clean, the alien used his super explosive power and man-ball combination ability to play Onopko who came to make up for the defense with a one-ball action!

Ronaldo, who passed Onopco, burst into the penalty area with the ball, and calmly distributed the ball to Vieri, who was following him in the middle, who squeezed his Lepka behind him and smashed the goal of Balotta with a powerful low shot!

1-0, just three minutes into the game, Fiorentina took a one-goal lead!
