The loss to Bayern Munich in the first leg of the semi-finals put Capello under pressure, and many took advantage of Rui Costa's excellent performance to start accusing Capello of being a wrong decision in the summer for not trying to keep the Portuguese midfielder.

For these accusations, Capello, who felt that he was lying on his gun, was very bad, and said in his heart that it was not me who decided to sell Costa, how could I settle the account on my head?

Capello has obviously forgotten about complaining, and although he is not the one who has made the decision on the transfer issue, if he can handle the playing time of each player at the time, the Portuguese midfielder, who has been given enough opportunities to play, will not necessarily want to leave Fiorentina. After all, Fiorentina have had the best record and the best player treatment in Europe over the past few seasons, and no one wants to leave such a big club without a special reason (such as a place in the main team or a loss of aggressiveness).

'Fabio Capello was a really good manager, as you can see from the almost untold trophies he has won since his debut. The current Juventus coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke eloquently in an interview with reporters, obviously at the end of his career and Capello feuded with him will not let go of any opportunity to retaliate against the other party, "However, this does not mean that he has no weaknesses, Capello coach's too iron-blooded way of leading the team and too realistic style is easy to make him lose his heart, when Luther (Gullit) and Frank (Rijkaard) left it is not unrelated." Moreover, judging from the current situation, Capello has been in a state of eating his old books all these years, and has not kept up with the mainstream development direction of today's football tactics, and still holds on to the little things he became famous ...... Therefore, I personally suggest that President Antonio Corleone should think carefully about Capello's future in Florence. ”

Capello naturally couldn't bear Ancelotti's provocative comments and quickly responded: "Although we lost to Bayern Munich in the first leg of the semi-finals, it was only a small defeat, and in fact, there are more scoring opportunities on our side. If it weren't for Ronnie and Bobo, who wasted several chances of a solo goal in the game, Fiorentina would have been the winner. ”

"I think coach Carlo Ancelotti should spend more time with his own team than having time to care about Fiorentina's table in the Champions League." I don't know if it's for the purpose of revenge for Ancelotti's mouth, after defending the team's table in the last game, Capello commented on Ancelotti in front of reporters, "Fiorentina still has the possibility of winning the treble so far, especially in the league, as long as we get two points in the last four games, then we can completely lock up the Serie A title, but what about Juventus? I'm afraid Coach Carlo Ancelotti is still worried about their European tickets for next season, right? ”

Capello's words are not unmistakable, although under the leadership of An Fat, the Bianconeri have gone all the way to the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, but such results obviously cannot convince the Juventus management, who have always focused on the domestic league. After all, bringing Juventus, a giant who could still wrestle with Fiorentina last season, to the point where they have to fight hard for a European place is clearly telling people that Ancelotti, as the head coach of the Bianconeri, is not good at coaching......

Therefore, even if he has a good temper like Ancelotti, he was completely annoyed by Capello's words that he might lead him to leave class directly, and under the prodding of a group of reporters who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, the fat man who was not to be outdone almost sprayed Capello on the spot, and the appearance of wanting to eat his flesh made some reporters feel that they had gone too far.

In this way, against the backdrop of a war of words between Capello and Carlo Ancelotti, Fiorentina ushered in the first match of May at the weekend, which was also the 31st round of Serie A. This time, the Purple Lilies will face Perugia at home.

Since the second leg of this league and semi-finals is played at the Frankie Stadium, although next week will be a life-and-death battle between Fiorentina and Bayern Munich, Capello still put several main players such as Carlos and Toldo into the starting list, intending to completely kill the suspense of the league championship with a victory!

After all, having some of the main players with good fitness on the pitch without the need for long stretches is a point that Capello has always adhered to.

Of course, part of the reason why Capello did this was to keep some of the more physical players in shape through the guò way of playing, especially a physical freak like Carlos, and it was no problem for him to experience a double match once in a week.

So, in this match against Perugia, Capello sent a starting lineup with a mix of main and substitutes.

The goalkeeper is still Toldo, and at the back, the left wing-back is Roberto Carlos, the right wing-back is Madavecchia, and the two central defenders are Materazzi and Hyypia.

In midfield, Bresciano and Ljungberg play as left and right wing-backs, and in the starting midfield position is a combination of Zanetti and Deco, Capello is ready to develop this unpretentious and down-to-earth Brazilian midfielder into a substitute for Redondo, after all, Fiorentina lacks a reliable substitute in the position of playmaking midfielder, and Deco's characteristics are very much in line with these requirements, so the Brazilian is finally about to usher in his spring in Fiorentina, it will be up to him to take advantage of this opportunity.

Although Pirlo could be used to take over Redondo's class, both Capello and Fiorentina's coaching staff felt that it was a waste of Pirlo's footballing talent, and with his spirituality and skills strengthened by Guferen's training course, he could have taken on more important tasks in the game, rather than being confined to a mere midfielder position.

As for the forward line, it's a combination of Vieri and Di Natale. Although Vieri's role in positional warfare is unparalleled, Ronaldo and Inzaghi, who are obviously dexterous against Bayern Munich's tall backline, are more threatening, so Vieri was put into the starting game by Capello.

The process of the game can be said to be uneventful, although the Perugia players who are fighting for relegation desperately want to take away a few points at the Frankie Stadium, but the disparity in quality and the sudden explosion of Di Natale have made this dream of promotion come to naught.

In the end, thanks to a hat-trick from Di Natale, who was named the best player after the game, and goals from Vieri and Carlos, Fiorentina beat Perugia 5-1 at home and won the 98-99 Serie A season three rounds ahead of schedule!
