PS1: This is an update on Monday, a little late. I hope that all book friends don’t care too much about the update time. I’ll guarantee that I will not stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

Just as Mourinho tried his best to make the players familiar with the new tactical system as quickly as possible and how to make new players integrate into the team as soon as possible, something that made the Portuguese very upset as scheduled - a national team match day that caused headaches for all giant clubs once again came to their heads.

Therefore, under the call order issued by the head coaches of the national team, the Fiorentine players who had only been training for less than a month once again had to drag their bodies that had not yet fully recovered to go their separate ways to welcome the World Cup qualifiers scheduled to open in early September.

Mourinho naturally gritted his teeth in hatred, because this call order will not only interrupt the training results he has finally polished over the past period of time, but will also make the physical condition of these international players in Fiorentina, which has not yet fully recovered, and will have an extremely adverse impact on the Purple Lily's journey in the new season.

By the way, Italy's luck was quite good at this draw and grouping ceremony. It successfully avoided the strong opponents of Czech Republic, Ireland, and Turkey, which were not positioned as seeds by UEFA, and were assigned to the same group as the five teams, Norway, Scotland, Slovenia, Belarus and Moldova. It can be said that as long as Italy can perform normally in this qualifiers and do not deliberately make a death, there is basically no problem qualifying as the top group.

Although Mourinho, as the head coach of Fiorentina, is quite disgusting with the fact that the national team match day will have a negative impact on his own players' condition, under the guidance of Capello and Heinquez, Mourinho in this life has a fundamental difference in his behavior and the madman who dared to shoot everything in his previous life.

For example, for Pirlo, who has not fully recovered his form and De Rossi, who has just finished the Olympic Games, was selected for the new Italian national team, Mourinho went to the national team training ground to have a very in-depth exchange with his former mentor. The result of the last exchange was that Capello readily agreed to Mourinho's request, packed Pirlo and De Rossi and sent back to Fiorentina from Milan, and replaced them with two young players, Maresca and Donadal. After all, for the pragmatic Capello, it is difficult for Pirlo and De Rossi who are not in the form to play the role he expected. In this way, instead of letting them spend time training with the national team, it is better to hand over this opportunity to those players in better form, and by the way, you can also observe these hope stars of Italian football up close, so that they can grow up as soon as possible and take over the mantle handed down by their predecessors.

However, in handling team affairs, Mourinho followed his two teachers, carrots and sticks, in his style of leading the team. This method of acting allows the Portuguese to conquer the locker room as quickly as possible after picking up the coaching stick of the first team, reducing the team's combat power loss due to the change of head coaches.

Although Capello put Pirlo and De Rossi back to Fiorentina, Italy, which has significantly surpassed its opponents in the same group, was not affected much. It easily won two consecutive victories in Norway and Moldova to lead the group standings.

After the national team competition came to an end for a while, it also came September 11. The 2004-2005 Serie A finally kicked off with the eager expectations of fans. In the opening match, Inter Milan, which once again experienced the team's coach change this summer, relied on the goals of Crespo and Mutu to beat Chiwo 2-0 away, and won a good start in the new season.

Immediately after Inter Milan won, Fiorentina also ushered in the first match of Serie A in the new season, and their opponent was the Red Wolf Rome led by "Wolf King" Toti.

Although Roma was once one of the strong contenders of the league championship under Capello's leadership, he regretfully withdrew from the competition for the Serie A trophy due to insufficient depth in the second half of the league due to lack of bench depth, as the gold medal coach reached the national team, Roma's last trace of energy seemed to have completely dissipated.

Let’s take a look at Roma’s actions in the transfer market this summer. After Capello resigned, they first sold Emerson and Zebina to Juventus, and then sold the main center back Samuel to Real Madrid, which was trying to strengthen the defense. What about signings? Roma failed to hook up even Mex, known as the "New Blank", and watched the opponent turn to the arms of his archenemy in the city, and could only introduce Boomson, who is less famous as a substitute to appease the fans’ increasingly high dissatisfaction.

Roma will choose to sell Emerson and other team main players, but there are not many important gains in recruiting. Although the Sensi family has a weak family background and cannot burn as much money as the top three in the north and Florence Lazio. In addition, part of the reason is that after Old Sensi delegated the power to his children, the Sensi family changed the former strategy of burning money on Rome and began to seek balance of income and expenditure for the club. Under this business strategy, even if there is more and more TV broadcasting fees in the Serie A, Rome's decline is an inevitable ending.

The most important thing is that without the suppression of Capello, an iron-fisted coach with both prestige and means, the wolf king Toti began to show his rebellious side of his character, forcing former German national team coach Voral to take the initiative to submit his resignation after coaching the team for more than 20 days. The undisciplined Casano also became increasingly naughty from this moment. The amazing aura and football talent in the past gradually squandered it, and the road to superstars gradually drifted away.

The team's problems are so serious that they have lost a large number of team main players in just one summer, and there are not enough strong players yet. Roma, who has tightened his pockets, is no longer the former team of tigers and wolves that can compete with Fiorentina. Even if Toti's condition is still at its peak, the future Red Wolves can only work hard for a European qualification in the increasingly fierce Serie A league.

After all, not any club has a Wenger as the head coach, and can guarantee to win a place in the Champions League when selling off main players every summer.

In the end, when the game ended, Fiorentina, who had rotated some of the main players, easily defeated Roma at the Olympic Stadium with the goals of Dinatale and Ribery, and won the first victory in the league in the new season!
