Despite not having the Rangers' goalkeeper scoop the ball out of the net four times as in previous league games, Fiorentina fans were still singing in contented cheers as they went home or found a bar to celebrate their team's victory.

It doesn't matter how the team plays, as long as it wins, that's what most Italian fans think when they watch the teams they support play.

That is, Italian fans can accept this, if it is replaced by Spanish fans, if the team dares to play badly, they will wait for the next day to be scolded. For these people, the process of the game is more important than the result.

After returning from Scotland, the Fiorentina players have little respite as they head into the fourth round of Serie A this weekend.

This game is the finale specially arranged by the Italian Football Federation for this round of the league, Fiorentina's performance in the past two years has been perfect, they have taken almost everything they can fight for, and the Bianconeri as an old powerhouse have also performed quite eye-catching in various competitions over the years, so this game can be said to have attracted a lot of people's attention.

Murdoch's News Corporation's Sky TV was even more happy, and Murdoch Jr. privately called Florence his lucky star: first, he launched a public tender for the broadcast contract at the alliance meeting, which gave News Corp., which has always been outside the European media system, the opportunity to enter the European continent; Last Saturday's broadcast of Lot D also made a small profit for Sky TV, which he managed, because of the addition of Fiorentina; This time, Sky TV has run into a big battle between Juventus and Fiorentina again! If it is done well, it will allow News Corp to open up the Italian market!

On the evening of September 29, Zhuang Mingge politely declined Mo Lao's proposal to watch the game in the same box, and appeared in another box at the Alp Stadium with Groz Jr. and Karin.

"In terms of fitness, Juventus will have a slight advantage. While both teams had a tight Champions League game in midweek, the cost of energy was much smaller than Fiorentina's spending on Fiorentina away from home against Scottish side Rangers and Juventus taking on Swiss champions Zurich Grasshoppers at the Alp Stadium. The Sky commentator in the studio analysed the comparison between the two teams and turned to the special guest of the game, Italian legend Antonio Cabrini, "Mr. Cabrini, what do you think of these two teams in tonight's game?" ”

"On the cards, Juventus have the upper hand in terms of fitness, but Fiorentina have the upper hand in terms of the quality of the players." Cabrini's words are not leaky, and it can be said that both sides of the game are not offended, but he obviously cares more about his old club after spending the prime of his career in the Bianconeri, "If nothing else, just talking about this forward line, the forward combination of Boksic and Del Pierrot works well, but apart from these two players, Juventus can't even find a reliable forward substitute." ”

Juventus fell into a striker drought, which is mainly to blame Moggi for being too anxious, in order to help the Bianconeri Prince to the position as soon as possible, and also in order to renew the team, he hurriedly sent Lavanelli, who began to decline, to Middlesbrough without confirming the reinforcements, and also sold his captain Vialli to Chelsea.

But the failure of seducing Vieri really caught Moggie off guard, Mo Lao Fox didn't expect that Vieri, as an "outsider", would be so loyal to Fiorentina, he originally thought that with the main position and a good salary could make the striker obediently take the bait.

Although Boksic was brought in from Lazio as a stand-in, judging from the performance of the warm-up matches and these official games, the Croatian center forward's goal efficiency is not even as good as that of Lavanelli, who has left the team. The lack of another consistent firepower puts the pressure on Pierrot alone, given that Juventus' midfielders are also quite limited.

To make matters worse, after sending off Vialli and Ravanelli in quick succession, Juventus could no longer find a striker with enough quality to rotate between Boksic and Pierrot. The two homegrown players, Nicola Amoruso and Michele Padovano, are okay against some mid-to-lower teams, but it is obviously not good enough to play against a strong team like Fiorentina.

While Cabrini and the commentator were doing their pre-match analysis in the broadcast room, players from both sides had already stepped out of the tunnel and stood on the turf of the Alp Stadium.

As for Juventus, because Van Praag's Ajax stubbornly resisted the seduction of Van der Sar this summer, the starting goalkeeper of the Bianconeri is still Peruzzi, but his performance this season is much better than the previous two years, mainly thanks to the success of Blank's transformation, the centre-back, who has scored double figures in five consecutive seasons, has begun to become more composed as he has aged, and has made great strides in filling in the position. His success in the transition has allowed the Juventus backline, which has always been unstable, to finally find a reliable backbone, and Iuliano and Montero can be assured to be bold and brave without having to worry about their own backs. At the same time, due to the fact that Pesoto and Torricelli both played the whole game in the Champions League in midweek, out of consideration for the condition of the players, Lippi lined up in a five-three-two formation for this game, with Blank, Iuliano and Montero lined up in the middle, and Di Livio and Sergio Pollini separated.

As for the Bianconeri's midfield, there are not many changes, the French national team captain Didier Deschamps is still in the midfield, Zinedine Zidane, who has spent a lot of money to bring in from Monaco, is responsible for organizing the attack and controlling the tempo, and Jugovic has to play the role of a support at both ends of the pitch, sharing some of the pressure on the two Frenchmen.

There's nothing to say about the front line, the starting lines of Boksic and Pierrot are indisputable, and if Amoruso or Padovano are deployed, it must be Lippi's brain in the water - just those two parallel goods on the pitch must not be played to death by the Fiorentina backline?

Fiorentina due to fitness problems, so Capello made a lot of changes to the starting lineup for this game, Toldo, Robert Carlos, Nesta and Ferrara, two central defenders who did not have much physical problems, all started, right-back was replaced by Billindeli, Redondo, Rui Costa and Barty were also removed from the starting list by Capello due to fitness problems.

At the same time, given Zidane's important role in the Juventus team, Capello, who was reluctant to take risks away from home, fielded the extremely defensive-minded duo of Di Biagio, Davies and Tomasi in midfield, with Effenberg in front of the trio being Effenberg, who wore the captain's armband and was responsible for providing fire support to the two strikers.

Up front, it's a combination of Ronaldo and Inzaghi, and it's not a problem for the injury-free aliens to play a week or two games once in a while.

The race is about to begin!
