PS: This is the first update today. The recommended overtime update is 106,000 and will be sent to the end of work. I hope everyone will support it~

When Florence swept Vicenza five to zero and won the Italian Super Cup for the fourth consecutive time, almost all Serie A teams began to lament: Who can stop the Fiorentines from pursuing victory?

When Vicenza successfully killed the invincible Fiorentina in the Italian Cup last season, many teams saw hope of overturning Florence's rule. But unexpectedly, Florence then used a series of brilliant records to make other Italian ball clubs feel deeply desperate!

Unbeaten in the season! Unbeaten in the Serie A game in a row! Three consecutive Serie A championships! Two consecutive championships in the Champions League!

The most terrifying thing is that this Fiorentina is in a completely different situation than AC Milan three years ago! When the AC Milan, which swept Europe, completed the feat of three consecutive league championships, most of the players in the team were over 30 years old. It was very difficult for these veterans to maintain this peak state, so at that time.

But Fiorentina is completely different! The oldest player in their first team is Ferrara, who has just turned 30, which can be called the golden age of a central defender; and stars like Ronaldo, Vieri, Rui Costa, they are not even at their golden age!

This means that if Fiorentina can retain these players and keep them in their current state, the Purple Lily's dynasty can last for at least five years!

Originally, these people put the last glimmer of hope on Vicenza, the "nemesis" of Fiorentine, and this dream was completely broken today. Zi Lily used a bloody five-to-zero to prove to everyone that that loss was just an accident. If it weren't for the performance of the god Otero, Vicenza would have been eliminated long ago!

Now, Florence finally returned all the debts owed by the other party from Vicenza!

Not long after the Italian Super Cup ended, Florence ushered in another event, which was the final of the European Super Cup.

Due to Zhuang Mingge's suggestion, Old Man Johnson did not make any move to expand the UEFA Cup this time. Therefore, while ensuring the viewing and intensity of the League Cup, Johnson also gave up the idea of ​​letting the League Cup champion replace the winners' Cup champion to play the UEFA Super Cup.

Therefore, Fiorentina's opponent in the European Super Cup this time was the winner of the European Cup Winners last season and the Barcelona Club, one of the overlords of Spanish football.

However, before the European Super Cup starts, Fiorentina will send people to participate in another event organized by UEFA, which is the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony for the 1997-98 season.

On August 23, 1997, the day when the European Champions League group draw ceremony began, UEFA still set the venue of the ceremony in Monaco.

"Massimo, I'm so happy to see you here!" As soon as Zhuang Mingge walked into the venue of the lottery ceremony, he saw a familiar figure and immediately greeted the other party enthusiastically, "Now, we have four teams in Serie A to participate in the next group stage!"

"Haha, Antonio, you underestimate my Inter Milan too much, right?" Although Inter Milan and Fiorentina are competitors in China, this did not hinder the personal relationship between Morati and Zhuang Mingge. Boss Mo Da was still so cheerful when he saw his friend. "Although my Inter Milan may not be as strong as yours in overall strength, it is a matter of holding hands to deal with teams from outside the four major leagues!"

As the well-deserved first league in Europe, Italy has three clubs, Florence, Parma and Juventus, which have been qualified to directly advance to the group stage. Inter Milan, ranked fourth last season, beat Rozvizef from Poland with a total score of 7-1 in the third round of the qualifying round, and successfully qualified for the Champions League.

"Haha, that's right." Zhuang Mingge thought, and felt that what Moratti said was indeed very reasonable. After the arrival of the Boseman era, the gap in strength between the teams became increasingly obvious. Those small balls with few good players would naturally not be opponents of giants like Inter Milan.

While chatting with Morati, Zhuang Mingge was also observing other club representatives who came to participate in the lottery ceremony.

The four clubs from Spain are Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Real Betis and La Coruna. I have to say here that before Lopela was too stupid to exhaust his family's wealth, Betis could also be regarded as a strong team in La Liga.

In fact, many La Liga teams have had a history of being able to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but in the end they all fell without exception. The reason for their decline is mostly because these teams have a brainless management team (such as Valencia after 2004, Lopela's Betis, and Old Hill's Atletico Madrid). Only a few clubs are unable to maintain the team's competitiveness for a long time due to the size of their city, and the financial resources cannot be maintained for a long time, resulting in the final defeat (such as Super Laco and Villarreal).

In the Premier League, despite being suspended for five years in the mid-to-late 1980s, the Englishman still relied on the wonderful performance of Premier League teams in the European Championships in recent years to put their arch rival Germany under the European Championship standings, and eventually became the last league that is qualified to send four teams to participate in the European Championship Cup.

This time, the Premier League teams that qualified for the Champions League are Red Devils Manchester United, Magpie Newcastle, Reds Liverpool and Gunner Arsenal. In Zhuang Mingge's opinion, among these four clubs, except for Manchester United, the remaining three are not worth worrying!

Newcastle won’t say it anymore. Zhuang Mingge has some impression of this team. He remembers that since this season, the Magpies have caused civil strife with Keegan’s dismissal. Although they are still those players, the overall combat effectiveness of the team has declined sharply. Liverpool was just a gorgeous and practical team before Hollier coached. As for Arsenal? Forget it, we won’t talk about it anymore...

The three teams representing German football in the Champions League this season are Bayern Munich, Leverkusen and Dortmund. Although there is one less place in the Premier League, Bayern and Dortmund, two strong teams that entered the quarterfinals last season, are actually not very confident.
Chapter completed!
