Just when Capello and his apprentice were belittling Zaccheroni's line-up and interpersonal skills, another good show was being staged in the VIP box at the San Siro Stadium.
"Sue Zaccheroni, as long as I can win the match with Fiorentina, no matter what he asks in the future, I will agree to him unconditionally!" Silvio Berlusconi made a powerful gesture and expressed his determination to win the whole game, "In addition, inform all the players who are in the 18-man squad for the tournament that as long as they win this game, I will give them a bonus of 100,000 US dollars each after the game, and if there is a good table, the prize will be doubled!" ”
"Okay, boss, I'll definitely inform Coach Zaccheroni of your order." Galliani said respectfully, and at the same time sighed secretly in his heart, saying that his chairman liked the whimsical old mistake again.
After all, even AC Milan, who had the Dutch trio back then, were not sure to win every game, and now that the weakened Rossoneri meet Fiorentina, who have been recuperating for a whole week, it will be very difficult to win the final victory, even if they have home advantage.
However, the person who completed the task was the head coach of the team Zaccheroni and not Galliani himself, so the bald man did not argue about it, but chose to convey the will of the boss to Zaccheroni.
Truth be told, Galliani doesn't really like this overly aggressive manager, because this style of over-emphasizing attack and only sloppy defense is not suitable for AC Milan. Compared with Zaccheroni, Galliani feels that even Ranieri, who played a slightly conservative style of play before, is more in line with the tradition of the Rossoneri, although this person's temperament does not match the giants......
"Really, when did the relationship between Fiorentina and our Milan become as bad as Juventus." Galliani, who came out of the VIP box, thought bitterly in his heart, "It's better to persuade the boss to reconcile with Fiorentina when he finds a chance, AC Milan wants to return to G14 as much as possible, and it can't be done without Fiorentina as a matchmaker." ”
Galliani knows that Fiorentina's relationship with AC Milan, although not very close, is by no means cold or hostile compared to the life-and-death relationship with Juventus. The main reason for the deteriorating relationship between the two clubs is that it is mainly due to the two managers of Sacchi and Fabio Capello.
Needless to say, since he was in charge of the Italian national team, Sacchi's cronyism and stubbornness have been criticized by all walks of life in Italy, and the conflict with Fiorentina is only one of the corners. Although Sacchi later entered the palace in AC Milan and was slapped several times by Fiorentina in the game, this is actually just a personal grudge between Fiorentina and Sacchi, and it does not have much to do with Milan, and it is not a contradiction.
Fabio Capello, who switched from AC Milan to Fiorentina two years ago, was the key figure in the deterioration of the relationship between the two clubs, and the man who made Berlusconi feel like a duck in the throat. Because it was precisely because of Berlusconi's arrogant remarks two years ago that he was angry with the meritorious coach who successfully continued the glory of the Milan dynasty after Sacchi's departure, and personally sent this excellent manager to the arms of Fiorentina!
It was precisely because of Berlusconi's extremely irrational move that AC Milan, which was already in a period of renewal, was unstable, and thus fell into a difficult situation for two years; At the same time, it also allowed Fiorentina to get a better coach after Ranieri's departure, thus continuing the glory of Ranieri's period, soaring to the sky, and completely sitting in the hegemony of European football!
Therefore, for Berlusconi, who is happy and wants to save face, the more successful Capello is in Florence, the more it proves how ridiculous and ignorant his remarks were back then - this is simply a slap in the face with a pair of invisible hands!
Therefore, in any case, Berlusconi will give a death order, demanding that the AC Milan players must do their best to win against Capello's team. Because only with a victory can he save face and prove his greatness, glory and correctness!
At this time, the players of Fiorentina and AC Milan have already started a fierce confrontation on the field!
Now, let's take a look at Fiorentina's starting line-up for this game.
Goalkeeper Toldo, the four defenders are Robert Carlos, Stam, Materazzi and Madavecchia, Zanetti and Gattuso form a double back to protect the backline, leaving Pirlo alone to take charge of the team's midfield operations. However, Capello did not fix Pirlo's position, instead allowing him to appear wherever he thought he should be. Capello believes that only by doing so can he maximize Pirlo's talent on the pitch.
On the forward line, the position of left winger is Di Natale, although his ability is much more mediocre compared to Ronaldo, but he is relatively comprehensive in all indicators and he is indeed a very reliable choice; On the right wing, Swede Ljungberg is a player with a high ball intelligence who knows what to do in what situations; As for the starting center forward position, Capello was handed over to Ronaldo, and his speed and dribbling are the most powerful weapons against AC Milan defenders!
In addition, Capello has his own considerations for choosing the main players of Nesta and Zambrotta, on the one hand, because the team will have a Champions League group game in Spain and Athletic Bilbao in three days, and he needs to reserve some strength for this game.
However, the main reason is that the defeat to Vicenza four days ago made Capello realise that Fiorentina's bench depth is no longer as reliable as last season, and that new signings such as Madavecchia and Vogel are even new to Italian football, and they are far less powerful than the departed Angeloma and Di Biagio.
Therefore, what Capello needs to do now is to mix the main players and substitutes, and use the old and new methods to gradually adapt these newcomers to the Serie A in official competitions. Otherwise, as the tournament deepens, once the main players have a large number of injuries, then Capello will have to worry about the team's record.
In order to ensure the team's results, no matter what, Capello has to do his best to polish these newcomers, not asking them to shine in the game immediately, but at least not to become the team's shortcomings!
