It has to be said that Capello's reassuring actions after the game were quite effective, although the Fiorentina players who suffered two consecutive league draws looked a little gloomy in the following days, but they were still very normal in normal times, especially in training, and it was obvious that the players did not affect their competitive form because of the continuous average.

Thus, on January 17, Fiorentina hosted the last opponent of the first half of the Serie A season - promoted Macagliari.

In the face of last season's Serie B third place winner, the Fiorentina players who were very breathless finally found the crosshairs of the goal in the cheers of more than 40,000 home fans on the scene, and they shot the goal guarded by the Cagliari goalkeeper into a sieve in good condition!

Ronaldo and Inzaghi, who started the game, both scored twice, and then substitute Andrea Pirlo took advantage of a free-kick in front of the goal to score directly, and Vieri, who only got the chance to play in the 80th minute, also scored the icing on the cake in the final stages of the game, fixing the score at 6-1!

In the end, Fiorentina ended the embarrassing two-game draw in the league with a hearty victory, and at the same time bagged the honor of the Serie A half-way title!

The big win not only gave the Fiorentina players, who were looking a little depressed by the draw, enough confidence, but also seemed to sweep away the dark clouds hanging over Fiorentina.

Then, in the following week's Coppa Italia match, the morale-boosting Fiorentina faced their opponent in the quarter-finals, the Red Wolves Roma led by Czech coach Zeman, although the Roman prince Francisco Totti scored a brace in the game, but the attacking trident composed of Di Natale, Vieri and Ljungberg was excellent, and the three scored a goal each in the game, leading the purple lilies to defeat the Red Wolves 3-2 at home and advance to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia!

By the way, due to Zhuang Mingge's strong influence, the Italian Football Federation accepted his suggestion and changed the format of all stages of the Coppa Italia until the final to a winner-winner. The reason why Zhuang Mingge proposed this proposal is, on the one hand, to increase the suspense of the event, so as to attract more fans to pay attention to this domestic cup competition; On the other hand, it is to reduce the pressure on Fiorentina and other teams who have to face a third-tier battle on a certain distance. After all, if you still have to play against your opponent for two legs in each stage as before, it will be a big test for the physical fitness and condition of the players of these teams; If these few games are played less, then Fiorentina and other teams will have to face a lot less pressure when fighting on the third line, and they can devote more energy to the European battlefield, strive for more European points for Italy, so that Serie A can always stand on the throne of Europe's first league and overlook other leagues.

After rounding out the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, Fiorentina travel south to Lecce in southern Italy, where Fabio Capello's side will face the 18th round of Serie A.

For Lecce, a famous pepper team in Italian football, Capello and his players can be said to be quite impressed. In the first leg of the meeting between the two teams this season, Pepper who visited the Frankie Stadium played a 5-4 score with Fiorentina. If it weren't for Ronaldo's last-minute savior, Fiorentina's first league game of the season would have ended in a draw.

Therefore, although the strength of Lecce's team is not very strong, but in view of the characteristics of its nerve knife, from Capello to all Fiorentina players, they are wary of this contest.

As Capello expected, Lecce once again proved their pepper-like style of play in front of the world, and played a passionate battle with Fiorentina in the cheers of more than 30,000 home fans!

"Lecce's team is really a bit of a strong team, and a weak team is weak." Zhuang Mingge, who was watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV, rubbed his chin and looked thoughtful, "If they can play at the same level today when they compete with those middle and lower teams, then Lecce's league ranking may be much higher than now." ”

"Hehe, if Lecce can play at this level every game, then Lecce is not Lecce." Hearing Zhuang Mingge's words, Karin replied with a smile, but this sentence, which was quite like a tongue twister, directly stunned the little Groz on the other side.

"Karin, can you be a little more direct?" Little Groz puffed out his cheeks, looked puffed out, and said, "What is Lecce is not Lecce?" ”

"Ah, I didn't make it clear." Karin then realized that there was a pseudo-fan like Groz Jr., who was not proficient in football, and explained to her, "Lecce's overall strength is not strong, which is a well-known thing. But what's worse is that it has such a momentum that is not afraid of death, especially in the face of strong teams, so Lecce can not fall behind in the game with strong teams, it is by virtue of this momentum and firm belief; It's a different story when they switch to a team of the same weight as Lecce, who often lack the desire to win, and it is difficult for them to gain the upper hand against these opponents, thus losing a lot of points that are quite crucial for them. ”

"In other words, Lecce's team can only be refreshed when facing strong opponents, and when it comes to dealing with middle and lower teams, it will be restored?" After listening to Karin's explanation, the corners of Little Groz's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he muttered, "You can only show your real skills when you play against strong teams, and you can't fight when you face direct competitors...... It's a strange team. ”

"Well, this also shows from another angle that these players don't have a strong sense of belonging to Lecce, otherwise they wouldn't be able to play with momentum only against strong teams." Zhuang Mingge added, "In a small club like Lecce, if you want to go further, in addition to winning some individual honors, you can only attract the attention of other teams if you are good at this time. ”

Returning to the game, although the Lecce players performed very well in this matchup, Toldo, who is the No. 2 international of the Italian national team, had to pick up the ball from the goal he guarded three times; But defensively, they clearly didn't do their job, and in the face of Vieri and Ronaldo, the most buggy forward combination at the moment, the Lecce team's backline can be described as full of holes!

Vieri's hat trick, Ronaldo made two passes and one shot, leading Fiorentina to swallow the little pepper in front of him with a score of 4-3 and won two consecutive Serie A victories!
