The short summer training camp quickly passed with the players sweating and then a series of warm-up matches arranged by the club's management to help the players get back into form as soon as possible before the start of the new season.

After all, Fiorentina, who won the treble last season, have two more important matches to play before the league starts, namely the final of the Italian Super Cup and the UEFA Super Cup!

Normally, a warm-up level event like the Italian Super Cup wouldn't be enough to get much interest from a powerhouse like Fiorentina, but who allowed the team to win the treble last season and the result was that the expectations of all Fiorentina fans skyrocketed? Besides, if the remaining three champions (Italian Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and Toyota Cup) are not brought back to upgrade to the "full champions", it will be too tyrannical.

On the one hand, the evaluation of these fans on him can indeed affect the club's perception of him to a certain extent, and on the other hand, he must use these cup trophies to stabilize his position in the team.

As a result, in a series of warm-up matches before the Italian Super Cup, Capello gave full play to the power of rotation tactics, allowing every player in the first team to get enough playing time, and Capello also used these practical exercises to observe the players in more detail.

On 28 July, Fiorentina played at home to fellow Tuscany club Siena, with Barty scoring a hat-trick to help his team sweep away their rivals 4-0.

On August 4, Fiorentina played the Qatar national team at home, Ronaldo scored twice, Vieri scored a goal, Fiorentina only scored three goals under the nose of Crown Prince Althani, and the Qatar Football Association, which is not bad for money, paid a fee of $3 million for this warm-up match.

On August 8, Fiorentina faced Lazio away, lost Boksic and Di Matteo, and was shoehorned in by their own boss a Prodi they didn't need, Zeman's team played very awkwardly and finally lost the game 0-2.

On 11 August, Fiorentina took on Premier League club Chelsea at Stamford Bridge before the Purple Lilies beat the Blues 3-2 thanks to Inzaghi's late strike.

On August 14, Fiorentina played a friendly match with Real Madrid in Madrid, Spain, which was also seen by many media as a battle between Capello and Ranieri, the two Fiorentina managers.

Although Mijatovic opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 15th minute, Fiorentina then suppressed the Reddondo without Redondo with a ferocious scramble, and Ronaldo and Djokaeff scored a goal each to lead Fiorentina to a comeback and win five consecutive warm-up matches.

On August 18th, the Purple Lily ushered in a warm-up match for Zuihou who had been training all summer, returning to Fiorentina to face the visiting AC Milan.

In the face of the "enemy" Saki, a group of Fiorentina players were naturally very angry, and they didn't even use Capello as a pre-war mobilization to scream and storm Milan.

After taking charge of Milan, Sacchi's stubborn temper was repeated, and he took Panucci, who had a strained relationship with him, into the starting lineup before this game, and also praised it as protecting the young player's career.

By the way, it was the veteran Tasotti who replaced Panucci.

Maldini, Baresi, Costa Kuta, Tasotti, Rossi...... Except for the 28-year-old Maldini, no one in the entire Milan backline is younger than 30 years old, and Baresi and Tasotti are already 36 years old! Against 23-year-old Vieri and the even younger Ronaldo, the results are predictable.

Four to one, if it weren't for Zuihou Capello seeing the face of Milan is his old club and then letting go of the water a little, it is estimated that the score of eight to one would not be a problem.

Winning all six games, this is the answer sheet handed over by the Fiorentina players before the start of the Italian Super Cup, and next, it is the Italian Super Cup that many Fiorentina fans are looking forward to!

On August 25th, with the success of the Atlanta Olympic Games, under the coordination and organization of the Italian Football Federation, the Italian Super Cup was held in New York, the largest city in the United States!

Because Italy won the runner-up in the Shijie Cup held in the United States two years ago, and the tears of Baggio, who missed a penalty in the final, touched many Americans, coupled with the fact that the Italian Olympic team won the gold medal in the Olympic football match not long ago, so that the Italian team has accumulated a lot of fame in the United States, so this time the Italian Super Cup chose to be held in New York.

Because Fiorentina won both the league and domestic cups last season, it is customary for the Italian Super Cup to face Fiorentina the "treble" Fiorentina and Atalanta, who won the Coppa Italia runners-up last season.

Atalanta didn't have many heavyweight signings this summer, after all, the club's management style is to rely on its own youth system to develop players and then profit from it, and the big purchase of Lentini, who spent $2 million from AC Milan to bring in Shijie's first value, is already a big deal, but in terms of transfers, they instead sold their defender Paolo Montero to Juventus, which made their defensive ability drop a lot. Facing the Treble champion Fiorentina, no matter how you look at it, it seems a little lacking.

It seems that in order to get off to a good start to the new season, and also take into account the run-in problem between the new signings and the team, so in this game, Capello did not rashly put these new players from the team into the starting list.

Goalkeeper Toldo, the back four from left to right are Fortunato, Ferrara, Nesta and Billindeli, and the more defensive Billindeli is mainly due to Atalanta's seemingly decent attacking line - Lucarelli, Doni, Mofeo and Lentini's attacking combination is enough to make any team drink a pot.

In midfield, Di Biagio was still the starting midfielder, Argentina's Prince Redondo watched the game from the bench, German tiger Effenberg was in charge of the team's organization, and Davies the wild boar was on the sidelines. The starting midfielder for this game was Portuguese Rui Costa, because Capello found when he studied the game footage that after Montero's departure, Atalanta's defensive line was seriously degraded in protecting the edge of the penalty area, which was very suitable for Costa's traditional midfield.

As for the forward line, captain Batistuta earned a starting spot with his excellent form and status, and Ronaldo "The Alien" Ronaldo was able to become Barty's partner in this game with his all-round ability.

The big war is about to begin.
