PS1: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, free books don't need everyone to spend money, and it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~

PS2: I would like to thank the book friend "zzllss" for the tip.

After learning from Heynckes from his own boss, the Fiorentina players naturally did not dare to perfunctory in the game, and also showed real skills on the field, with fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions, continuous passes and wonderful individual breakthroughs to make the fans addicted - of course, they still put a lot of water in terms of goals, otherwise it would be too bad to give the home team face.

Think about it, if Fiorentina really bullied their opponents too badly this time, who would dare to invite them to play a friendly match next time? Even if he knows that the strength of the two sides is vastly different, but no one is a masochist, and he is willing to take the initiative to find someone to beat him up, or at his own doorstep......

Therefore, in order for Fiorentina to continue to pan for gold in East Asia in the future, there is still some need to save some face for the home team. Therefore, Fiorentina did not go on a killing spree against these four teams, and directly poured a bottle of 7-up into the game and even played a higher score.

In addition, Zhuang Mingge also made some requirements in other aspects, such as requiring players and coaches to maintain a friendly attitude towards fans, whether in public or in private, in order to win the goodwill and recognition of Fiorentina from the fan groups of the three countries.

Under the guidance of Zhuang Mingge's thinking, Kenyon, who is in charge of market development, changed his original plan, not only arranging the team's training to be free and open to all spectators, but also requiring each player to give at least 20 autographs to the fans at the end of each day's training. At the same time, Fiorentina's players are also very close to the fans during commercial promotions in places like Beijing and Shanghai, which naturally makes a good impression on everyone - especially for Chinese fans, who have never seen such approachable big names.

There are a number of well-known teams that have played here before, but the players of Sampdoria, Arsenal and Liverpool are somewhat arrogant when they participate in various activities - in their opinion, although Asia is the largest continent in the world, the level of football is too backward compared to South America, where talent is full of stars, and Africa, which occasionally gives away some surprise packages.

Such a situation naturally makes many big-name stars from afar very unhappy - after all, after flying over half the world, they find that they only have to play a few warm-up games with opponents of this level that are almost performance-oriented, and no one will be able to lift their spirits.

This is perfectly normal and you can't expect players with a general lack of management knowledge to understand the desire of club managers to expand the market. Moreover, in the absence of the necessary communication between the management and the players, players who lack sufficient motivation are naturally reluctant to take this kind of game seriously.

It is a young and energetic team like Liverpool that takes this kind of game seriously, and the result of this is to break the myth of the so-called "undefeated workers", and let the fans of the Celestial Empire who are immersed in the dream recognize the real gap between them and European football for the first time.

It is precisely because of Liverpool's incident as a foreshadowing that Zhuang Mingge dared to let the team win the game against Guoan and Shenhua, otherwise, the fans would vent their anger at Fiorentina that the myth of Gongti's undefeated was broken.

All in all, this trip to East Asia not only made Florence's reputation among the fans of China, Japan and South Korea climb to another level, but also caused the sales of products with the Florentina logo sold by Adidas to show signs of soaring, and even Adidas's sales in East Asia have also increased a lot.

In comparison, the appearance fee, which totaled less than $10 million over the course of four games, is insignificant at this point.

However, although Fiorentina's gold rush in East Asia has come to an end, the team did not return to Italy in the first place, but once again traveled to Tokyo, Japan, to prepare for the upcoming Italian Super Cup.

For the Italian Football Federation, which had tasted the sweetness of the Italian Super Cup overseas, they had planned to host this Italian Super Cup in another country. However, the impact of the Asian financial crisis on South Korea's economy in the past two years has not yet fully dissipated, and China's market prospects are still uncertain despite its huge population, so they chose to play in Tokyo, where the market is more mature and has successfully hosted the Italian Super Cup.

However, after seeing the gains of teams such as Fiorentina and Inter Milan in China this year, presumably the Italian Football Association will also consider moving the Italian Super Cup to China, so as to better explore the overseas market of Serie A and enhance the influence of Italian football in East Asia!

This year's Italian Super Cup final will be played against Fiorentina, the winner of last season's Serie A, and Parma, the winner of the Coppa Italia.

Since both teams have undergone a team change this summer, they are still more or less in the run-in period. However, Parma's situation is clearly worse than that of Fiorentina, as they have not only lost their midfielder and playmaker, Sebastien Veron.

By the way, the main purpose of the two teams choosing to pan for gold in East Asia this year is indeed to open up their market here, and to prepare for this final by taking advantage of the jet lag in advance to adapt to the environment and climate here.

Let's talk about the starting line-ups of both sides, Fiorentina, because they are not too worried about the form of Ronaldo and Carlos, who participated in this summer's Copa America, Heynckes did not put the two in the squad for this game, but chose Shevchenko and Kaladze, who have just joined - he intends to use this game to let the two newcomers integrate into the team faster.

As for the remaining nine players in the starting line-up, namely Toldo, Zambrotta, Nesta, Stam, Redondo, Effenberg, Makelele, Ljungberg and Vieri, the above eleven players are Fiorentina's starting line-up for this game!

On Parma's side, after losing the two major midfielders of Veron and Stanic, Malaisani, who was much stretched in the lineup, did not give up the 352 formation that he relied on to win last season: goalkeeper Buffon, Thuram, Cannavaro and Torrisi transferred from Atletico Madrid as three central defenders, Vanoli and Benarivo on the wings, Dino Baggio and Fosse in the middle, and his Argentine compatriot "Little Donkey" Ortega replaced Veron's position, and the forward line is still a combination of Chiesa and Crespo.

At this time, the 22 players who started on both sides had already taken their seats in their respective halves under the leadership of the referee, waiting for the whistle to announce the start of the game.

The Great War is about to begin!
