On April 23rd, Serie A No.20 eighth round, Fiorentina played away against Sampdoria.

For fans who have experienced the golden age of Sampdoria, the 94-95 season was a complete nightmare for Sampdoria.

Before this game, Sampdoria had only won one victory in the past five league rounds.In these five league rounds, the Aquamarines had one win, one draw and three losses, and only scored four points.What's more terrible is that due to the misconduct of the new boss Mantovani Jr., the former monolithic Sampdoria no longer exists. The two main players of last season, Gullit and Evani, have announced in advance that they will Leaving the team in the summer, Lombardo, Mancini and other core players are also watching, and the entire Sampdoria has become a mess.

In Sampdoria right now, the hearts of the people are lax. Because Mantovani Jr. is keen on transfer manipulation, the Samp players feel insecure, and they can't help but start to think about their way out for next season-in this case, if Sang Pudulia can still play well, that would be called hell...

Originally, Zhuang Mingge was very interested in the contest with Sampdoria, but when he saw the expressions of the Sampdoria players on the field, he lost interest in this game.

The No. 20 eighth round of the league, Sampdoria can be said to be safe from relegation. Of course, with the point gap between them and the previous teams, they will not be able to compete for the European Championship next season.In this state where there is no need for results, and at the same time worrying about their own jobs, there are only a few Samp players who still have some fighting spirit, and most of the players are either bored or indifferent. It wouldn't be exciting to beat a team like that.

The result of the competition did not exceed Zhuang Mingge's expectations.

With the "carrot" of the league championship in front of them, the high-spirited Fiorentina defeated the unmotivated Sampdoria with three goals at the Ferraris Stadium.

At the beginning of the game, with the encouragement of the fans, the Navy made a tenacious resistance, but when the game progressed to No. 20 minutes, Effenberg, who returned from injury, received a return pass from Batistuta After helping Fiorentina take the lead with a shot 25 meters away, the Sampdoria players completely lost their fighting spirit.

Then in the No. 30 minute, Fiorentina's field captain Batistuta also scored a goal: Djorkaeff made a low pass from the left, and Batty, standing at the front of the penalty area, volleyed she without stopping the ball , scored his 25th league goal of the season.

In the second half, Montella, who came off the bench, relied on a chance that Samp's defense failed to make an offside and scored a goal, locking the score at [-]-[-]-in fact, at the beginning of the second half, Sampdoria had already given up. In this game, their head coach Eriksson stood helplessly on the sidelines without making any adjustments.

Besides, even if he wanted to adjust, what could he adjust?Facing these players who have no fighting spirit, even if the Swedes have countless ideas, there is no room for them to play.

When the game ended, the whole of Fiorentina fell into a carnival-of course, if they just beat Sampdoria, they would not be so excited, but another piece of good news was enough to make Viola fans extremely happy: Juventus lost again!

That's right, you read that right, the always stable old lady capsized again in the eighth round of No.20 in Serie A. They lost to the Padua team by one goal at home!

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the carelessness of the Juventus players. Who made Juventus just play a UEFA Cup match in the middle of the week, resulting in the lack of physical fitness of the Juventus players. Lippi's tactical thinking that emphasizes running is completely unable to play...

Therefore, before the direct dialogue between Fiorentina and Juventus came, Viola successfully gained a three-point lead in the standings!

Next, it will be the Tianwangshan battle with Juventus on April 4th.

If they win, Fiorentina will have a huge advantage of six points with five rounds left in the league; if they lose, Fiorentina will be equaled by Juventus in points, but will also be inferior to Juventus due to the disadvantage of mutual results. Second (Serie A's ranking method, in the case of the same points, first look at each other's record, and then look at the goal difference).

Therefore, Fiorentina must not lose in the next league game!After all, you can't always pin your hopes on the old woman's ditches capsized...

……

For Juventus, this season has undoubtedly been quite successful.

This is Lippi's first season in Juventus, that is, in this first year, he led Juventus to double-kill the mighty AC Milan in the league.As the time is about to enter May, Juventus, which is fighting on three fronts, has a chance to win the championship in three battlefields: in the Italian Cup and the UEFA Cup, they both reached the finals, and coincidentally , the opponents in these two finals are both Parma; in the league, they are only three points behind Fiorentina, who is the top of the list, and will have the last direct dialogue with their opponents in an away game in the next round.

For the league championship, Lippi and Juventus will naturally not give up easily, not only because Juventus has not tasted the taste of the league championship for nine years, but also because only the league champion and the defending champion are eligible to participate in the championship next season. Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Cup, the UEFA Champions Cup is of course more attractive, and if they can participate in the UEFA Champions League, Juventus can also get a lot of broadcasting fees next season , the Cup Winners Cup and the UEFA Cup are completely incomparable in this regard...

So, in the next week, Lippi designed a lot of tactics against Fiorentina, and tried his best to let the Juventus players remember, and at this time in Fiorentina, Ranieri was doing exactly the same as Lippi work.

"Remember! The opponent (Juventus)'s running and interception ability is very good, so I ask you to play the ball faster than usual in the game! Don't interrupt our offensive rhythm for Juventus opportunities!" As the head coach of Fiorentina, Ranieri was also under a lot of pressure at this time. He knew from certain channels that Zhuang Mingge was not satisfied with his tactical arrangements in certain games. He must win this Juventus game.

After all, even the outstanding Trapattoni was dismissed by Juventus because he failed to win the league championship. Who knows if he will follow in his footsteps...

Just like that, amidst Ranieri's roar, the calendar turned to the page of April [-]th, and today, Fiorentina will sit at home and start a battle against Juventus in Tianwangshan!
