The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into Zhuang Mingge's bedroom.

On the large bed in the bedroom, the smooth bodies of men and women were entangled, and the dots of red on the sheets silently told the story of the previous night.

In this way, Florence ushered in a new day in tranquility.

However, at the moment, in the Milanello training base, it is a lively scene.

Thirty players dressed in the training uniforms of the Italian national team were doing recovery training in the first field, a day after the Italian national team completed a domestic warm-up match in Zuihou before the Shijie Cup. More than an hour later, what awaits them will be the Zuihou "verdict" on whether they can participate in the fate of the American Shijie Cup.

On the adjacent No. 2 training ground, some players of the Milan youth team are conducting more intense training with the ball under the guidance of the coach, and the sound from time to time from the training ground makes these players who are full of thoughts on the No. 1 training ground feel more urgent in addition to excitement.

At this time, Milanello is no longer quiet, and the attention of fans is no longer just associated with AC Milan club, as the place and temporary base for the Italian national team to announce the final 22-man squad before the United States Shijie Cup, the Milanello base in the league break has been given the meaning of "Blue Coats" to the greatest extent.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Milanello, after many days of closed management, was finally fully opened to the outside world. Outside the gate of the Milanello base, reporters from all walks of life, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed to the scheduled location of the press conference as soon as possible under the guidance of the base staff.

At 9:30, in the venue temporarily arranged by the staff of Milan, the press conference of the national team organized by the Italian Football Federation was held on time.

It was an "informal" press conference, but the task it was about to accomplish was highly valued by all sectors of the Italian community, and it was expected to take no more than three minutes. In addition to answering questions from some reporters, the most important content is to announce the final list of players for the Italian national team to compete in the Shijie Cup in the United States.

The reason why such an important thing was chosen to be "released" in Milanello, a seemingly casual place, was mainly due to the instruction of Italian coach Saki, because the old man Sacchi reached the peak of his coaching career in AC Milan, although he later left Milan because of the feud with Van Basten, but in some things, the old man Sacchi still takes good care of his "former club".

So, for this eye-catching press conference, Sacchi chose the Milanello base he is most familiar with, and the old man hopes that it will bring him good luck as before.

However, when the nervous Saki appeared at the press conference, he saw the sharp eyes of the reporters like wolves, and felt the eyes of an infatuated man, the old man Saki, who led the national team to participate in the tournament for the first time, finally realized that the degree of attention at the press conference seemed to be far beyond his estimates......

"Tony, guess which players Coach Sacchi will choose to be in the squad for the Shijie Cup?"

In the luxury villa in Florence, Karin, who had undergone the morning bath with Zhuang Mingge and was dressed in a set of home makeup, obediently leaned next to her sweetheart, looked at the live broadcast of the press conference from the TV, and asked thoughtfully.

Successfully transferred from "magician" to "knight", Zhuang Mingge's mood was obviously very good, from the moment he received the news that Italy announced the list of participants for the Shijie Cup at the Milanello training base yesterday afternoon, he had a premonition in his mind.

A night of fierce battles, a night of sleeplessness, but Zhuang Mingge's thinking has become clearer, he has realized that some people will still miss the Shijie Cup after all, and some people will be on the top stage of the Shijie Cup because of Saki's "preference".

"Coach Saki he ...... is too stubborn, stubborn like him, it is impossible to accept a player who is not on the right path with him! Fingers gently brushed between Karin's long hair, and Zhuang Mingge spat out the emotion that had been deposited in his heart for a long time.

"Are you talking about Mancini and Vialli?" Karin's moving eyes jumped a few times, and Zhuang Mingge's emotion made her, who is also an Italian fan, a little reluctant to accept such a reality.

Zhuang Mingge stretched his waist noncommittally, and in the TV, the press conference that was being broadcast live quickly entered the "main play" after a brief opening remark by the host.

The Italian national team coach in front of the camera sat in the middle and right position, without saying a word, which is completely in line with his idea of keeping a low profile before the start of the Shijie Cup, if it were not for the Italian Football Federation's repeated requests that he must be present in person on the grounds of "convention", Sachi, who decided to act "in a low-key" manner, even hopes to completely disappear from the public before the end of the Shijie Cup. Because the head coach has become a "vase" without saying a word, the president of the Italian Football Federation, Perrault, had to stage a "one-man show", and he naturally became the focus of this press conference.

The president of the Football Association, who has been in the Italian football world for many years, still maintains a faint smile in front of the public as always, and in his concise and clear words, the final version of the Italian national team list finally reveals its "true colors":

"Pagliuca, Maciegiani, Maldini, Costacuta, Baresi, Tasotti, Benarivo, Abroni, Albertini, Donadoni, Antonio Conte, Dino Baggio, Roberto Baggio, Zola, Signori ......"

There is no suspense about the list of the "main players" of the first dozen people, because as early as more than half a month ago, Coach Sacchi was the first to announce the list of players he relied on the most:

"Luca Butch!" The position of the third goalkeeper of the Blue Coats is given to the main goalkeeper from Parma, which is also quite controversial in Zhuang Mingge's view, because of AC Milan's excellent record this season and the excellent performance of the main goalkeeper Sebastien Rossi, anyway, this shijie cup should also bring the main goalkeeper of Milan. Zhuang Mingge speculated that the reason why Rossi lost early in the competition with Parma goalkeeper Butch in the third goalkeeper of the national team is largely because too many AC Milan players have been recruited. In this case, Parma, another of Sacchi's old clubs, have benefited, and Butch has managed to squeeze out Juventus' young goalkeeper Peruzzi and Milan goalkeeper Rossi to become the lucky ones.

Perhaps, the only unpredictable thing in terms of goalkeepers is whether Pagliuca, as the No. 1 national goal, can continue to stay in the familiar Sampdoria after the Shijie Cup and before the new season......

"Roberto Mussi!" With Sacchi's veteran Moussy who played in Parma and AC Milan, he squeezed out Milan's young right defender Christian Panucci, which made Zhuang Mingge very puzzled, no matter how you look at it, it is much more cost-effective to bring Comrade Xiao Pa than to bring the veteran Musi, after all, there is a left-right Benarivo, Panucci and Musi on the bench No matter who goes to the shijie cup, it is a soy sauce, in this case, it is better to bring a young player to experience the atmosphere of the international competition.

Italy had a tradition of bringing several young players to experience the atmosphere at international tournaments before Sacchi took over, such as Massaro and Bergomi in the 1982 Shijie Cup, Vialli and Denapoli in 1986, and Roberto Baggio in 1990...... Zhuang Mingge has always believed in his previous life that Saki chose too many veterans when he coached the national team, disrupting the original orderly inheritance of experience.

"Minotti!" A central defender in his playing years, plus Maldini, Baresi, Costacuta, and Abroni, the old man Sacchi has brought five players who can play in the central defender position, but this choice should not cause too much controversy, after all, the little brother still has to sit on the left side, and the style of play is similar to Baresi's, and Minotti, who is also the captain of Parma, is a natural substitute for Baresi.

"Nicolas Berti!" Berti may be lucky, he played for AC Milan's "sworn enemy in the same city", and got this precious place, but I don't know if he will usher in a real chance to play in this shijie cup......

"Evani!" Zuihou, one of the lucky ones to become a substitute midfielder, belongs to the former team-mate of Basten and Ruud Gullit, and the former subordinate of Sachi......

It's time to really test your nerves! What Zuihou will be announcing will be the list of two substitute strikers!

I have to praise that the Italian Football Association's "confidentiality" work has done an excellent job this time, although Zhuang Mingge has vaguely learned through relevant "intelligence" channels that the probability of Mancini being on the Zuihou list is no more than 10%, but many times, the faint hope can still make people want to stop.

The high attention to Mancho is not only because Zhuang Mingge was a die-hard fan of the Italian team "before his death", but more importantly, the experience of "rebirth" for more than a year has made him gradually accept the fact that he is Italian.

In any case, as an Italian fan, compared to the large number of Celestial Empire fans, he has been more than a hundred times lucky, who doesn't want the team they support to be invincible and soar in such an important tournament?! And the memory of being a fan of the Celestial Empire and the consciousness of being an Italian fan are telling him at the same time that if a player of Mancini's level cannot appear in this Shijie Cup, it will be a loss for the entire Italian national team!

Mancini, Vialli, Lombardo, Bergomi...... A famous player who could not play under Sacchi's "colored glasses" may be a Shijie Cup in their career, Sacchi's approach is both now and in Zhuang Mingge's "past life", which has made many Italian fans regret.

"Danielle Massaro!"

"Pierluigi Casiracchi!"

In the gentle and cautious tone of the president of the Italian Football Association, Perrault, the final suspense on the list was finally revealed, which is obviously not a satisfactory "answer", after the list was announced, the suddenly "warm" atmosphere at the press conference is the most haode proof, but in front of the final result written in black and white, everything in Zhuang Mingge's memory will be irreversible.

Mancini and Vialli are two tragic stars again! In front of the wheel of fate, even if he was unwilling, his head had to hang down slowly, leaving only a few long sighs......
