After the away win over Cagliari, Fiorentina improved their league record this season to seven wins, one draw and one defeat, temporarily opening up a certain distance from those chasing behind them in the standings with 22 points; In the Champions Cup, with the home and away double defeat of Galatasaray, Fiorentina, which has achieved three wins and one draw, has also confirmed a place in Group B, and the only suspense is who can win the group between the purple lilies and Dynamo Kiev, so as to draw a relatively weak opponent in the knockout round of 16 of next year's Champions Cup.

Being able to lead Fiorentina to the Champions League and the league in the two most important battlefields in the Champions League and the league for the first time in charge of an Italian team, without the pain caused by the change of coach as expected by the media, will lead Fiorentina into a bitter battle on all fronts, it can be seen that Heynckes's coaching ability is still quite powerful.

At least not as Saki was three years ago, with the Rossoneri, who had been able to compete with Fiorentina the previous season, to 13th place in the league.

As the team's results got better and better, several newcomers who joined the team in the transfer period this summer, such as Kaladze and Shevchenko, also took advantage of this trend to be recognized by the fans and officially accepted as part of Fiorentina.

So, with some relief from the nervousness, the Fiorentina players played well in the next few games in November.

On November 11, on the day that the young people of the Celestial Empire called "Singles' Day" in their previous life, Fiorentina ushered in the second round of the Coppa Italia.

Although Brazilian striker Amoruso, who failed to make the switch to Parma as he has done in the past, scored the equaliser for the visitors and his team-mate Martin Jorgensen also played well, the two of them could not stop the in-form Fiorentina from winning without the support of Zaccheroni's attacking system.

In the end, thanks to a hat-trick from Shevchenko, Fiorentina came out of the way to beat visiting Udinese 3-1 at the Stadio Franky to knock the Roosters out of the Coppa Italia and advance to the next round of the knockout rounds.

Then, after another day of international breaks, the Serie A competition resumed after a full half a month of silence, and Fiorentina also welcomed the tenth round of Serie A matches with Vicenza on November 20.

Although Guidolin led Vicenza to a surprise victory over Manchester United in the UEFA Super Cup final, ruining the expected coronation of the new Treble winners, in the new season of Serie A, in the face of a variety of strong opponents who recruited heavily in the summer, Vicenza's overall strength has declined a lot, and it is no longer able to continue the impressive highlights of previous seasons.

If it weren't for Guidolin living up to his title of Little Zhuge and kneading the team that had replaced half of the first-team squad as quickly as possible, and at the same time maximizing the offensive potential of Ballack, the new leader of the team, to replace the vacuum left by Ambrosini, I am afraid that with the current team of Vicenza, it will be difficult to fight for a place in the middle and upper reaches of the league table while juggling the European stage and the Coppa Italia.

Considering the distractions from European competitions after winning their European tickets, which led to a sharp drop in the league's results in the following year, and even some teams paid a heavy price for relegation (see Celta and Real Sociedad in 03-04 for specific examples), Zhuang Mingge sincerely feels that Vicenza FC should be grateful to Guidolin who has worked hard for the team.

Due to the fact that there is a key match in the Cup Winners' Cup next week, and it is indeed very small for the current Vicenza team to challenge Fiorentina, which has the advantage of home advantage and is in good form, so Guidolin decisively sent a large number of substitutes such as C. Lucarelli, Abidal and others in the starting lineup to make up the number, obviously preparing to give up the league with Fiorentina and concentrate on preparing for the upcoming Cup Winners' Cup.

In Guidolin's view, for Vicenza, which is now short of manpower, it is an almost impossible task to maintain a parallel on all fronts, so giving up this tough battle with Fiorentina and choosing to open a breakthrough in the Cup Winners' Cup has naturally become Xiao Zhuge 's first choice. After all, losing a league game is only three points less, but a defeat in the Cup Winners' Cup would mean that Vicenza will say goodbye to Europe this season.

Compared with the two, it is naturally clear which is more important. After all, although Vicenza's strength has been greatly damaged, and the depth of the bench is not as good as before, under Guidolin's strategy, it is not a problem for them to ensure a place in the middle of the league at the end of the season.

In this way, Heynckes, who originally thought that there would be a tough battle to be played tonight, couldn't help but be stunned at first after seeing Vicenza's starting list, he didn't expect Guidolin to dare to send a full bench lineup against Fiorentina.

However, the well-informed German head immediately reacted and realized that Xiao Zhuge who was unable to support Vicenza on all fronts took the initiative to admit defeat and surrender in a more obscure way.

After learning about Guidolin's idea, Heynckes immediately changed his thinking and told the players to score as quickly as possible after the start of the game, and to relax after establishing an advantage, so as not to drive Vicenza away.

Heynckes' decision to do this, rather than allowing his players to relax and play freely from the start of the game, was largely on the safe side – if Fiorentina were to relax and get back on the scoresheet, they might have a chance to lose the three points they should have gotten.

So, at the Stadio Frankie that night, the players were very positive from the opening whistle, and Vieri relied on his buggy body to score twice in just fifteen minutes after the start of the game, helping Fiorentina establish a two-goal lead!

The Vicenza side was also very cooperative, and they did not show the intention of counterattacking to get back the score after falling behind by two goals, but only tentatively attacked a few times in the subsequent time, and found that the home team did not show any flaws and died down.

In the end, with Vieri's goal, Fiorentina defeated the battleless Vicenza 2-0 and won all three points at home!
