After a short Christmas holiday, the accumulated fatigue of many half-matches was eliminated. Florence players prepared for a match at the training base on time on the third day after the New Year.

After all, on January 7th, Florence will welcome the first game after the New Year, and the Viola will challenge "Red Wolf" Rome in the south that day.
Before the game, the media agreed that Florence, which won five consecutive victories in the league before the winter break, would win easily in the next round. After all, the Viola is much stronger than its rival Rome, which is not the one with several top teams at the turn of the century, but Florence has grown into a strong team that makes the European giants sit up and take notice.
Ranieri is obviously full of confidence in this game. The day before the game against Rome, he took the lead in announcing the starting lineup against Rome. However, it can be seen that Ranieri has no pride in underestimating his enemy. Apart from playing in crippa due to a cold and being suspended for accumulating yellow cards, Lana Florence should play all the main players. Obviously, the tinker intends to win the first game after the winter break to welcome the new year
The trend of the game is indeed as expected by the media before the game. Florence suppressed the home court advantage from the first game. The Viola, the main Roman opponent, won the first goal of the club in 1996 six minutes after the whistle sounded. batistuta just won the European Golden Globe Award. fortunato scored a goal from the left and aldair scored a goal.
The score was behind Rome, so they were unwilling to be swallowed up and lost. After they regained the ball, they immediately fought back.
Gianini and Barbo’s offensive combination was indeed a top-level frontcourt configuration a few years ago, and now the 32-year-old Lao Wang is obviously unable to cope with his physical fitness. Although his skills and consciousness are as good as ever, it is difficult to make normal technical moves in taking care of Lao Wang in young Davis and Dibiagio, let alone the support of Barbo’s ball in the front line.
In this way, when Rome’s attack was delayed, Florence expanded its lead in the away game in the 20 th minute. Gianini took the ball and was intercepted by Davis. Rui Costa turned around and sent a 40-meter stick to the ground, which directly penetrated the whole line of Rome’s defense. The offside was successful. After receiving the ball, Roberto Baggio easily slipped away from the attack, and the score became 2-0! Since then, Florence has won many opportunities, but failed to turn them into goals, and the score has been maintained until the end of the half.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the half-time, thousands of fans from Florence in the Olympic Stadium rejoiced-they celebrated their excellent performance at the half-time.
However, in the face of the unfavorable situation that the game was suppressed by Florence and scored by Batty and Baggio at half-time, Roman coach Mazzoni calmly responded to the fact that Francesco Totti, a teenager with rapid progress in the season, changed to "King of Rome" Giuseppe Giannini, who was in poor condition, and handed over the team’s offensive organization to the young player under 2 years old.
As a result, Mazzoni’s substitution became a turning point in the game. Totti didn’t show the slightest stage fright. He just relied on his own skills and dribbling ability to play the whole defensive body of Florence and run tirelessly to connect players in every position of the team.
The Roman players who were beaten by Fiorentina in the middle of Totti’s command regrouped and made several sharp counterattacks.
In the 62nd minute, Davis gave the ball to effenberg in the middle of the road and was suddenly intercepted by Totti, who passed the ball in a row. Davis and Dibiagio defended his friend Sta and calmly distributed the ball to others. Barbo, a compatriot of Batty, did not live up to Totti’s expectation. Rome pulled back a city and the score became 1-2.
Seeing the equaliser, I hope that the Red Wolf players will rekindle their fighting spirit and intensify their attack. Rome scored another goal in the 70 th minute of the game. Totti made a one-on-one cooperation with Barbo in the frontcourt to the front of the restricted area in Florence. Finally, the Argentine successfully gave the ball to Totti in the lesbian defense, and Totti directly volleyed the ball with his right foot at the restricted area line!
In this way, at the end of the game with more than ten minutes left, Rome was two goals behind, and the score was magically tied at two to two!
Fiorentina, who was equalized by the opponent two goals ahead, was naturally unwilling to get a draw just like this. Therefore, Viola players launched a flood of attacks on the door of Rome in the later hours. However, this time, the meritorious service was that Brazilian central defender aldair led Florence to lead the Roman defense line. Several extremely threatening shots were blocked by the defenders of Rome, which made Viola return, especially in the stoppage time of the game. Costa took a corner to replace Baggio. Inzaghi fell to the ground five meters in front of the door and shoveled the Roma goalkeeper’s whip, but the ball was stopped by Brazilians at the goal line to clear the box.
In the end, Florence finally got a draw at the Olympic Stadium with the excellent performance of teenager Totti at half time.

After being tied by Rome away from home, Florence only got one point in the 16th round of Serie A. With the huge advantage accumulated in the previous winning streak, Florence still led the Serie A standings with 12 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses and 30 points. In the third round, she defeated the navy corps AC Milan three times, which narrowed the gap of points again and ranked second with 9 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses and 32 points.
In the future, the teams need to go into details. Because there are still ten rounds in the league, these teams have already been pulled by Florence by ten points. In this case, if Florence did not have a large-scale collapse in the second half of the league, these teams would have announced their farewell to the season league title race.
Because a game was tied by Rome, the gap between Florence and the second place was narrowed to six points, and the narrowing of the lead means more variables, which is what the players trying to defend the league champion Florence don’t want to see.
So the Fiorentina players were so angry that they vented their grievances about a draw by Rome to their round-robin rival Piacen.
Because this game is the first home of Florence after the winter break, Florence specially arranged a short ceremony before the game. batistuta personally came to the court with the European Golden Globe trophy to show it to the fans of Florence, and the fans at the scene warmly applauded the Argentine superstar who never left the team when it was relegated.
……
Piacenza, a team with the goal of relegation, naturally has no confidence or energy to die with the league leaders. In their view, it is not as good as preparing for a battle with several relegation opponents. After all, winning a game with several direct competitors is worth six points. If this is done, our team will have a greater chance of relegation at the end of the season. Besides, Florence’s excellent record in the league really scares Piacenza players and realizes that Viola is not the only one who has lost two goals so far.
Some people may recall that Florence lost to Vicenza in the second round of the league, but now the situation is a little different from that at that time, that is, the players have different mentality. At that time, Viola had just experienced the first round of victory, and it was difficult to be proud of the newly promoted MaVicenza. Before the match against Piacenza, Florence had just scored a draw in Rome, and was very dissatisfied with the result. The Florence players were all preparing a big win to change their luck.
Of course, the most important point is that Piacenza doesn’t have a resourceful head coach and a group of powerful players like Vicenza who can wrestle with one of the top teams in Serie A.
Therefore, the plan of Piacenza’s coming to Frankie Stadium this time is to concede as few goals as possible, and it would be more perfect to keep a draw and get a point.
The wish was good, but the result was cruel to a group of Florence players who were going to vent their anger on them. Piacenza’s seemingly tight defensive formation lasted only ten minutes and was torn to pieces by the Florentines.
In the eleventh minute, after batistuta received the ball from effenberg, he directly turned around and kicked the door 21 meters away from the goal. The ball rubbed the right column of the goal and flew into the net.
Only four minutes after the first goal, Florence made a comeback. djorkaeff effenberg pushed the ball obliquely to Lanna Lanna for more than ten meters, and then returned the ball to the middle. The French in djorkaeff sent a straight ball without stopping. Inzaghi suddenly started from behind Piacenza’s defenders and received the ball. Then Piacenza’s defenders turned around and raised their arms to indicate that Inzaghi was offside, but the linesman paid no attention to it.
Inzaghi won a single-handed goal. Naturally, he won’t wave the opportunity to break the goal. Before the other goalkeeper abandoned the door, he started shooting directly. The ball slipped from the right hand side of Piacenza goalkeeper and crossed the goal line. Florence expanded the score by two points.
After Florence scored the second goal, ten minutes passed, and effenberg pushed the ball in the middle. As a result, Piacenza was put down by the landlord and the referee awarded Florence a direct goal of 25 meters away from the goal. The home team once again got a good chance to break the goal.
From this distance, there are many players in Florence who have the ability to hit the goal directly, such as effenberg, djorkaeff, etc … After some discussion, the captain batistuta finally got the penalty ball force and the Argentine god of war did not look forward to a shot to expand the score to three again;
Only 25 minutes after the whistle, the home team scored three goals. Piacenza’s players were stunned. They didn’t expect Florence to attack so crazily and show no mercy in this game.
Before they recovered from losing goals one after another, djorkaeff scored Florence’s fourth goal in the 33rd minute. The Frenchman received effenberg’s goal from the penalty spot and scored a powerful goal.
Piacenza, who was four goals behind, completely lost the equaliser, hoping to see the players in a state of dejection, so that the visiting coach could declare his surrender, so that even the half-time was not over for 45 minutes. Florence actually won a game.
Finally, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score on the big screen of Frankie Stadium was fixed at 7-0, and Robert Baggio scored twice in the half-time. Vieri also replaced Batty in the 60th minute of the game and scored his third league goal of the season in injury time.
After the game, many Italian sports media expressed their praise for Florence’s great victory. After all, this kind of big score game can attract the attention of many neutral fans and journalists, and the scene is much better than every game.
Although there is nothing wrong with Italian teams generally attaching importance to defense and tactics, they should also take care of the fans’ emotions, right? After all, the football industry is still supported by fans. Without audiences and ratings, how many people will invest in playing football?
But what everyone didn’t expect was that this great victory was actually a prelude to Florence’s winter hurricane.
Chapter 249 Winter hurricane (2)
On January 10th, in the first leg of the Italian Cup quarter-final, Florence relied on Roberto Baggio’s sneak attack just at the beginning of the game to win the game, leading the overall score and successfully scoring an away goal.
On January 21st, in the 10th round of Serie A, Viola scored a 3-0 victory over the increasingly impoverished "Red Bull" Turin team with a header from Inzaghi and vieri, although batistuta, the first striker of Florence, was not included in the competition list due to a minor injury before the game.
On January 25th, Florence hosted the second leg of the Italian Cup against Sampdoria. Although Viola was only one-to-one ahead in the total score, no one could guarantee that Sampdoria would not go crazy in this game, which also gave Florence a defeat like Juventus in the 13th round of Serie A. However, Ranieri was still very courageous in the game, and most of the main players were replaced by Gwadar, who had never had a chance to play.
As a result, this team, which is composed of bench and rotation players, didn’t play as well as the main one, the Navy Corps, at Frankie Stadium. Although Gwadar’s goal was broken by chiesa and his former teammate Montera, vieri and Baggio scored twice in Florence to equalize the score.
The players who took the lead twice and were equalized twice by their opponents in Sampdoria can’t help but be impetuous. Last summer, they experienced a big change of blood. The navy corps is no longer that passion, but it also includes a calm and sophisticated "golden Sampdoria". Now the team captain Mancini has prestige and ability, but his impatient teammates can’t handle it well. Manqiao is obviously not a good team leader.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer matches left, Sampdoria players can’t help but feel a little anxious. After all, their schedule is quite easy this season without the European Games. The club also invested heavily in building an offensive combination of chiesa-Montera-Mancini-Seedorf in the summer, aiming to take advantage of the decline of former league overlord AC Milan and the relatively loose schedule to re-emerge.
However, the performance of the Navy Corps disappointed Sampdoria fans in the season. Although Sampdoria had an attack line that was also ranked in Europe, it failed to produce a result that matched its own strength-after ten rounds of league matches, they got 22 points, and Florence, the leader, scored twice as many points as Sampdoria, which made Sampdoria withdraw from the championship battle of the season early.
In this case, the Italian Cup champion naturally became the only hope for glory in Sampdoria’s eyes last season.
However, in the first round of the contest, Sampdoria lost at home, which made Sampdoria’s intention to dominate the cup desperate!
Therefore, in the second leg of today’s game, Sampdoria players can’t say that they don’t work hard, and almost every goal is contested. However, when they find that they have worked hard to gain the lead, the gap in their hearts is naturally imaginable after being equalized twice by the second team of Florence.
This psychological gap has greatly dealt a blow to the morale of Sampdoria players, and it will naturally make the visiting team more eager to regain the lead. However, as the saying goes, haste makes waste, and the mentality is unbalanced, which makes these young Sampdoria players give up their proper tactical play in the last ten minutes of the game. They simply rely on their personal ability to attack the Florence gate, and the result is naturally futile in the face of the orderly and strict defense of Viola.
Before the end of the game, Seedorf, the Dutch midfielder of Sampdoria, swung his right foot 30 meters away from the goal, and it was a long-range shot. As a result, the ball brushed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline. When the referee didn’t serve the corner kick to the visiting team, he directly blew the whistle at the end of the game, which means that the "Florence Second Team" finally scored 2-2 in Sampdoria at Frankie Stadium, and the total score was 3-2, which helped the opponent advance to the semi-final of the Italian Cup.
This result startled Florence coach Ranieri, who came to plan to lose the water in this game so that the team could have more rest in the tight schedule in April this year. I didn’t expect these players to give so much strength to take the main battle against Sampdoria.
It seems that it is necessary for me to give these bench players more playing time. Maybe I can bring more surprises to myself? Ranieri thought with joy in his heart. After all, being a head coach naturally hopes that the more players he has, the better.
On the other hand, it is said that Enrique mantovani, the owner of Sampdoria, left the VIP box of Frankie Stadium with a livid face after watching the game. It seems that this arrogant little Mr. mantovani will have another major operation on his team this summer …
On January 20, Florence ushered in the 19th round of Serie A, and this time their opponent was given to Viola’s first defeat of the season, Vicenza.
This time, Ranieri, who was no longer proud and underestimated his enemy, did not hesitate to put forward his own research. The goalkeeper toldo Starr and Lala were the partners of the central defender, while Lana and Zambrotta were energetic on the left and right. The main reason was that the tinker was worried that the former hope star did not have enough physical strength to cope with Vicenza’s surprise attack on the right, while the starting right-back birindelli was unfortunately absent from the game due to the accumulation of four yellow cards.
In midfield, Vicenza frequently intervened in attacking several midfielders. Ranieri arranged Dibiagio and Davies to protect the defensive line. The core of the team organization and the starting point of the attack appeared in the starting list. Among them, German effenberg was forced to rest for a week because of the yellow light in the physiotherapy center.
Djorkaeff and Roberto Baggio are the team’s offensive executors. Both of them have excellent skills and dribbling ability. batistuta can deliver artillery shells at the front and solve the battle by himself. This offensive player is suspected to be the most troublesome type in Vicenza’s defense.
In the face of such a team that no longer underestimates Florence Guidolin, can Vicenza continue to work miracles?
Chapter 25 Winter hurricane (3)
“Gooooal! It’s a goal! The goal is Ambrosini! " It was the 64th minute of the match between Florence and Vicenza at home. The commentator Rao burst into cheers. "Now the score is 1-1 draw. Vicenza is really Florence’s biggest pain in the season."
