The Era of Emerald

() After the Glasgow Rangers won a [-]-[-] victory at home, the players were warmly welcomed by the fans when they returned to Florence. Antonioni and others complained to Zhuang Mingge in private In other words, it is a pity that I did not go to watch such a brilliant victory.

After getting a good start in the European Champions Cup, the Fiorentina players finally got rid of the shadow of the away loss to Vicenza, and their morale was greatly improved.

Although the morale has improved, the consecutive weekly double matches at the beginning of the season still consumed a lot of energy for the Fiorentina players, so in the third round of the Serie A match against Cagliari three days later, Ranieri still chose to rotate. The physiotherapy center thinks that players whose physical condition is not suitable for playing are placed outside the squad: captain Batistuta returned to the starting lineup and partnered with Baggio as a striker; The starting left back of the game was replaced by Fortunato; although the 30-year-old Kripa is still in good condition, considering his age and playing style, this game is played by the Dutch wild boar Davis , the other two players in the midfield are Tacchinardi, Rui Costa and Djorkaeff, because the vice-captain Effenberg accidentally sprained his ankle while flying back from Glasgow...

The good friends Inzaghi and Vieri sat on the bench. Although the playing time of the two has declined this season due to the joining of Ronaldo and Baggio, neither of them complained. The attitude on the training ground is even more meticulous.

In addition, there are players such as Tomasi, Di Biagio, Zambrotta, Verjoward and Guadalben on the bench in case of emergency.

Although the players attached great importance to this game and did not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy again, such frequent large-scale rotations still affected Fiorentina's combat effectiveness to a certain extent, especially the offensive line. Batty and Baggio are the first time to partner with the striker. , and Costa was also looking for the feeling of cooperating with the frontcourt players, and made many mistakes in passing the ball, so Fiorentina was suppressed by the visiting team at the beginning of the game.

Due to the least rotation of players in the defense line, Fiorentina's defense is still doing quite well in this game. Facing the combined impact of Oliveira and Muzi, the Fiorentina still firmly defends the defense line, and Toldo is also constantly defending. He used wonderful saves to prove to the national team coach Saki that he is absolutely worthy of a place in the England European Cup!

In the 5th minute of the game, Muzi shook his head ten meters away from the goal and was pushed out of the baseline by Toldo's palms!

Immediately after the Cagliari team took a corner kick, Oliveira drew a beautiful arc kick at the front of the penalty area. Toldo quickly moved a few steps with both feet, and firmly caught the shot And hugged the ball.

No. In the 12th minute, Muzi slammed hard in the penalty area again, and the ball flew close to the ground and flew towards Fiorentina's goal, but Toldo, who reacted quickly, fell to the ground and pressed the ball firmly under his body.

Toldo's wonderful performance at the beginning stabilized Fiorentina's position, and at the same time bought precious time for Fiorentina's offensive players to find a tacit understanding.

After 10 minutes of the game, the frontcourt players finally began to adapt to the presence of their teammates, which made Fiorentina's offensive gradually fiercer, pushing Cagliari, who had been very aggressive at the beginning, step by step back to his own half. .

As the Serie A golden boot last season, Batistuta has not scored a league goal so far. This is due to the fact that the opponents are more closely marking him, and other teammates in the team have shared his appearance. time's sake.

Although Batistuta, who loves Fiorentina, is happy to see the team's prosperity and doesn't mind the reduction of his playing time, but as a forward and captain of the team, he still wants to get a ball as soon as possible. Goals, dedicating their strength to Fiorentina.

Barty's luck was pretty good, and his tireless efforts quickly paid off.

After 45 minutes in the first half, although the Fiorentina players got some chances to rewrite the score, they unfortunately failed to grasp it and had to enter the intermission with a score of [-]-[-].

It was then another rematch, this time with Fiorentina kicking off first, the ball was swiftly passed back to Rui Costa, and the young Portuguese midfield maestro suddenly dribbled past a Cagliari midfielder. A through pass was sent, and the ball landed accurately at the feet of Baggio who was going forward.

This time it was Baggio's turn to show his ability to the fans. After receiving a pass from Costa in the frontcourt, Baggio used a fake move to make Cagliari's defender pounce on him, avoiding the back Easily broke into the penalty area, and then faced the attacking goalkeeper with a light horizontal knock and passed the ball to Batistuta on the other side of the penalty area.

Of course, Batistuta would not waste this excellent opportunity created by his teammates. Facing the empty goal, he slammed his kick vigorously, and the ball flew into the net, one to zero!

And this goal was also the only goal in the game. Although Fiorentina got a lot of good chances to score in the following time, it is obvious that the gate of Frankie Stadium today is unwilling to let the ball in. Fiorentina players In the second half, a total of four wicket posts and two crossbars were hit, and the cup could not be added.

After a victory, Fiorentina ranked fourth in the standings with six points in three games, two wins and one loss. The first place was last season's runner-up Juventus. Under the guidance of Lippi, the performance of the Bianconeri With strong stability, he achieved a record of three victories.

And AC Milan also won all three games. Although the main force during the three consecutive championships was seriously aging, the newly introduced strong players such as Weah and Kluivert still carried the old Milan chariot forward.

The third place is the Blue Eagles Lazio. Under the leadership of the offensive madman Zeman, Lazio is still not so stable. In this round of the game, they were unfortunately forced to a three-to-three tie by the Bari team. Unfortunately, they were at a disadvantage of two points. Ranked third.

In the case of Marchegiani, Favalli, Grandoni and other powerful players, Barry will score three goals. This shows how much Zeman doesn't value the team. defended...

Fiorentina's next schedule is not very easy. Next weekend they will go away to challenge Parma, and then there will be another group match of the European Champions Cup. After the fifth round of the league, there will be a national team match. I have to go to various places to participate in two European Cup qualifiers, which is a great test for the players' physical fitness.

However, Zhuang Mingge has no way to watch the Fiorentina game live, because now he has once again come to Doha, the capital of Qatar.
