Although other teams are very depressed about this, they do not have anything to refute. These teams dare not deliberately belittle Fiorentina. It should be noted that belittle your opponents is belittle yourself - since you have all regarded the team that has won you as rubbish and worthless, then what is the person who can't even win trash?

In this way, with these players he selected, Old Maldini went to Georgia with confidence, where the Apennines would challenge this team that had existed for less than six years.

Since Italy and England were divided into a group in this qualifier, and the qualifiers have played so far, the points of the two teams are still quite close. The most important thing is that according to the rules of this World Cup European qualifier, the first in nine groups and the second in the group with the best results will be eligible to advance to the French World Cup directly. The remaining eight groups will compete for a two-round playoff match, and the winners decided will receive the last four places.

Therefore, Old Martini did not dare to be careless about this game. Before the game started, he reminded the players to concentrate on playing the game, for fear that the team would be overtaken by the English behind him in the standings due to underestimating the enemy.

Since there is a possibility of directly advancing after the group stage, no one hopes that the team they lead will face the cruel play-offs. In the knockout round with only two rounds, God knows what unexpected situation will happen. If you accidentally get rid of it, you will be in tears...

So, in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, the Italians who focused on the competition staged a bloody massacre here.

In this game, Martini, the old, lined up the same 442 formation as Fiorentina, with Vieri and Inzaghi pairing the two forwards, Robert Baggio was responsible for transporting shells behind them, Thomassi and Dino Baggio were responsible for interception, and Albertini dragged the back and sorted out the midfield and served as midfield commander.

On the defense line, Maldini still firmly occupies the starting left-back position. As long as he is not suspended or affected by injuries, the captain of AC Milan is the first choice for the national team's left-back position; the starting right-back has changed from Panucci to the younger Zambrota, and the central defender partner is still an extremely stable combination of Ferrara and Nesta. Although Parma's Cannavaro is not weaker than Ferrara in strength, his occasionally pop-up disadvantage has made Maldini position him as the third choice for the central defender position.

In the battle between Paliuca and Toldo for the starting goalkeeper of the national team, the final winner this time was the talented rookie Buffon from Parma. So, Paliuca had to sit on the bench with resentment to watch the performance of the juniors. Toldo was even more miserable because his position was in the stands...

Compared with Italy, which is full of talents, the Georgian national team, which only got a fraction of the legacy in the "dividing up" of former Soviet football, seems quite dull. Jin Kraze, who plays for Manchester City and Carraze, who plays for Dynamo Kiev, are their biggest stars. In terms of overall strength, the Italian national team, which plays in the giants or strong teams of the four major leagues, can even go beyond the Georgians.

After the game started, facing the weak Georgian defense line, with Vieri's cover and assists from Baggio and Albertini, Inzaghi only took one first half to complete his first hat-trick with the national team, and Vieri also scored a goal in the second half while giving an assist.

In addition to Pierro and Dino Baggio, who also scored goals, when the referee blew the final whistle, Italy finally defeated Georgia 6-0, continuing to rank first in Group B, leading the second place England with only one round left, and advancing was in sight.

If the Englishman still wants to qualify for the French World Cup directly, then the result of the last game in a month is that they will have to confront Italy directly

After the national team competitions ended one after another, the players returned to Fiorentina one after another, and the 1997-98 season of Purple Lily officially began. Next, Fiorentina will attack the Champions League, Serie A and Copa Italy at the same time under the leadership of Capello!

Capello's goal is clear. Although the possibility of the team winning the triple-champion again is very small, the strong Fiorentina must do its best in all games.

As long as you are a wealthy family, you will have such a goal. Whether you can win the Triple Crown is one thing, and whether you dare to attack the Triple Crown is another thing. Without this posture, you will focus on an event from the beginning. Regardless of whether the team becomes the champion in the end, it will be difficult to gain the recognition of fans.

Florence, which is working hard to train for the second triple-winning champion, ushered in the second round of Serie A. This time, Purple Lily's opponent is the newly promoted team Barry.

After a relegation, Barry lost many excellent players. Although they have introduced many new players from other teams this summer to strengthen their overall strength and increase the success rate of relegation this season, the arrival of a large number of new players inevitably undermined the tacit understanding between the players - the best proof of being easily defeated by Fatty An's Parma in his home court in the first round of the league with a score of 2-0.

Facing such an opponent, Capello made a certain rotation of the starting lineup in this game. After all, Fiorentina will go to Germany to play a Champions League group stage with Leverkusen in the middle of next week, so naturally she doesn't want to waste too much energy on this opponent.

Therefore, in this game, Capello sent a starting lineup that mixed the main players and substitutes: Toldo, Fortunato, Matrazi, Ferrara, Angela, Zanetti, Dibiagio, Redondo, Rui Costa, Zeroberto and Batistuta. This is Florence's 11-man roster.

Although there are also powerful players like Ventola and Masinga in Barri's team, compared to Florence, which is the dominant Serie A, Barri's possession is obviously not enough.

Faced with a team with an overall strength that was not as good as himself and the team had not yet developed combat effectiveness, Fiorentina easily won a victory: Batistuta scored one goal in the first and second half, leading Zi Lily to easily win. While winning two consecutive victories in the league, it also expanded the record of unbeaten in the Serie A to 63 games!
