The first leg of the European Cup Winners ended and returned to Fiorentina, which was back in Serie A, ushered in the next league. In view of the players' physical fitness, Ranieri rotated some players in order to enable the players to maintain their best form in the new season.

In the third round of the league, Fiorentina faced Cremona at home. Ranieli removed Effenberg and Kripa, who had recently fought continuously, and replaced them with young player Tomasi and main substitute Corini. They also sent a lot of substitutes on the defense line - from left to right, Franceni, Viljoward, Ferrara and Pari. The young Cremona seemed to have been caught off guard by such amazing rotation in Fiorentina - three to zero. With the goals of Batistuta and Montera, Fiorentina won three consecutive league wins without bloodshed.

Three days later, Fiorentina continued to sit at Frankie Stadium to welcome the second round of the first round of the Cup Winners. Ranieli replaced the player who had been on the last round of the game. With the huge advantage of 3-0 in the last round, Fiorentina players patiently dealt with Bremen, who was eager to equalize the overall score, and used the defensive counterattack tactics that the Italians were best at. Due to the red card suspension of the frontcourt core Basler, Bremen had no idea when facing Fiorentina who was strictly guarding. Instead, due to the player's mistake, Djokaf and Inzaghi sneaked the unlucky Werder Bremen back to their hometown with a clean and neat victory.

After the game, the German professional football magazine "Kicker" severely criticized Bremen coach Rehger's tactical arrangement, believing that he was too conservative at home, which led to Bremen being completely restrained by Fiorentina in two rounds of games and being passive everywhere. He was finally eliminated with a total score of 0 to 5. At the same time, the magazine also severely criticized Basler. The irrational behavior of the German star in the first round made Bremen lose the engine to launch a counterattack against his opponent.

Faced with the accusations of "Kickers", Rehager quickly counterattacked. He claimed that his tactical arrangement was fine. Bremen's loss was because the first team players were too old and could not keep up with the pace of Fiorentina. He believed that Germany should pay attention to the cultivation of youth. However, German clubs are now crazy about veterans, such as Bremen coached by Rehager: In the starting list of the first round, the captains Votava was 38 years old, Thomas Schaff was 33 years old, Rufell was 32 years old, Neubat was 32 years old, Borovka was 32 years old, Diet Elz was 30 years old, and only Bassler and Bode under the age of 30 were Basler and Bode... But Rehager's words were not accepted by the Germans, and they were still immersed in the supreme glory brought to them by the West German team in the Italian World Cup.

The Italian media began to praise Fiorentina in unison, believing that under the leadership of head coach Ranieri, Fiorentina played offensive football, and blew a strong trend of tactical changes on the Apennines, breaking the Serie A pattern for many years. You should know that in Serie A, where defensive football is popular, Fiorentina used its sharp offensive to score 14 goals in three league games without losing one goal. What a terrible phenomenon!

With the arrival of five consecutive victories in the new season and three consecutive victories in the league, most media believe that the tactical innovation of New Milan has achieved initial success, but Ranieri clearly realized that Fiorentina's winning streak is largely due to the beginning of the season, and the team's opponents in the league are generally weak, while the European opponent Bremen, Fiorentina's own style just happened to restrain the opponent, so the victory in many games does not mean too many problems, and the real test is still to come.

Zhuang Mingge and Ranieli have basically the same views. He also believes that the Italian media's flattery is a bit too much, because the reason why Fiorentina has achieved such an ideal start this season is mainly based on Zhuang Mingge's tactical thinking that has been ahead of the football world for nearly 20 years, and Fiorentina, which combines the tactical styles of Saki, Capello, Michels and others, has made the team strategically lead from the beginning. Zhuang Mingge knows that Ranieli, who has been in the Italian football world for many years, has never been a material for playing offensive football. If the Fiorentina he commands plays "offensive and defensive balance" when confronting small and medium-sized teams, then when encountering strong teams such as AC Milan, Ranieli plays the defensive counterattack that he is best at unless he has to.

Therefore, Fiorentina still needs to pass a series of strong opponents in the next game - for example, in the next two Serie A games, Fiorentina will first go to challenge the traditional giants Inter Milan away, and then return to Frankie Stadium to face the capital team Lazio. These two teams are real touchstones for Fiorentina.

On September 25, Florence, which is in good shape, will go to Milan to challenge Inter Milan.

Since the beginning of this season, Inter Milan's performance can be said to be ups and downs. In the first game, they defeated Torino 2-0 away, and then lost to Roma at home. Then they were tied tenaciously by weak team Brescia in the third round of Serie A. The vicious competition between the team's two scorers Bergkamp and Ruben Sousa greatly damaged Inter Milan's strength.

Although Inter Milan's defense has improved greatly after Paliuka's joining, it has been dragged down by the internal strife of two foreign players on the team's offensive line that Inter Milan cannot win even if it has a good defense.

Therefore, throughout the game, Zhuang Mingge saw only Inter Milan's attacks, only Borgkamp and Ruben Sousa fought each other, and the two had even reached the point where they did not pass the ball on the court.

"I really don't know what Pellegrini is thinking. The relationship between these two foreign players is already so bad. Either quickly find a way to introduce a scientific competition and elimination mechanism to ease the conflict between the two. At least this situation cannot occur on the court; or simply sell one and firmly leave the other." Zhuang Mingge looked at Inter Milan, who was completely suppressed by Florence on the court, and said to Karin beside him with confusion.

"Pelagrini paid a lot of money when he was the leader in introducing these two foreign players. Maybe he felt that he was losing money because he thought it was too much for him to sell one of them like this?" Karin's guess was rare to get close to the facts.

In fact, Pellegrini has the idea of ​​selling his shares in Inter Milan this season. If there are stars like Sousa and Borgkamp in the team, they can be sold at a relatively high price when transferring the shares.

Just as Zhuang Mingge and Karin were discussing various problems in Inter Milan, the voice of a middle-aged man penetrated into the conversation:

"If I were the chairman of Inter Milan, I would have driven all these two bastards out of the team!" The middle-aged man with gray temples said angrily, "He dared to override personal gains and losses over the interests of the team. They are not worthy of wearing Inter Milan's jerseys!"

Zhuang Mingge and Karin were a little surprised when they looked at the man who was angry and were shocked. They didn't expect to see such a fanatical fan in the VIP box.

At this time, the middle-aged man noticed Zhuang Mingge and Karin's surprised gaze, and knew that the "noise" he had just made had disturbed these two people. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm so sorry, I've disturbed you to watch the game."

"Hello, my name is Antonio Corleon, and I am the chairman of Florence." Zhuang Mingge felt that the man sitting behind him looked familiar, so he decided to chat with him, "Just call me Antonio."

"Hello, Antonio." The man also introduced himself to Zhuang Mingge politely, "My name is Massimo Morati, you can call me Massimo."
