Mondonico did not expect the loss in the Coppa Italia to have such a profound impact, and if he had known, he would have given up the Coppa Italia like Capello and Carlo Ancelotti.

In order to reach the last four of the Coppa Italia, Fiorentina lost their second scorer Mikoli and their main centre-back Dainelli.

It was almost the equivalent of smoothing out the double-edged sword, poking a hole in the shield, and suffering heavy losses both offensively and defensively.

There is room for the loss of personnel, with Ricano, Di Natale and Portillo all barely available, and apart from the loss of personnel, Fiorentina's physical and mental exertion had a little more impact on the midweek game.

Fiorentina and Roma played a full 120 minutes in the Coppa Italia, this kind of knockout match is not a league, let alone a friendly match, every minute is completed under fierce confrontation, and the physical and mental consumption is extremely great.

Three days after the Coppa Italia victory, the league game against Sampdoria, the players' physical fitness did not recover, the players' spirit was in the refractory period after the climax, and they played weakly in the game, even the more than 3,000 Fiorentina fans who went to Genoa were desperately cheering, they could not keep up their spirits, and even the captain of Fiorentina, Chen Yu, did not play at his usual level.

At this time, Sampdoria, who was waiting for work, was on the offensive, and the players were like chickens, suppressing Fiorentina all over the field, and beating Fiorentina to only defensively, without the power to fight back.

The defeat was inevitable, 0: It was Fiorentina's worst defeat of the season, not against Juventus, Milan or Roma, but Sampdoria, much to the disappointment of the fans.

To the comfort of Fiorentina fans, Juventus also lost.

Juventus abandoned the Coppa Italia in the last round to concentrate on the league and the Champions League, but in this round of good conditions, they lost to promoted Palermo.

l:0 is the most economical score.

Fabio Capello's Juventus have always liked to beat their opponents 1-0, and now they have also lost to their opponents' 1-0 tactics.

AC Milan, who also played in the Coppa Italia in midweek, did not fight as hard as Fiorentina, otherwise they would not have lost to Udinese by an l:4

The strategic abandonment gave Carlo Ancelotti a taste of the league as they played a hard-fought game at home to Lazio but in the end: they beat Lazio to leapfrog Fiorentina by L points in the table and only L points behind Juventus.

Fiorentina did not have time to rest after the first round of the league and they were challenged by Parma in midweek.

In order to avoid consecutive defeats, Fiorentina really fought hard in this game, and every player put out 12 points of energy to fight with the opponent, among which Maresca and Rigano even ran cramps in the second half, and finally defeated Parma in the 78th and 85th minutes by Rigano and Jorgensen with two goals in a row.

Fiorentina were not happy with the win, as their midfielder Maresca was suspended for accumulating yellow cards.

Maresca is the heart of Fiorentina's midfield, and his role for Fiorentina is obvious, after his suspension, Fiorentina can only replace him with Hidetoshi Nakata, but Hidetoshi Nakata is no longer the same Hidetoshi Nakata when he was in Rome, and he is far less dangerous than Maresca.

Even more serious than Maresca's suspension is that Chen Yu is in a goal drought.

Four games without scoring are normal for an average striker, but for Chen Yu, it is very abnormal.

After four rounds of no goals, Chen Yu still has one goal, with an average of more than one goal per game, which is definitely the data of a world-class striker, but this also shows how terrifying Chen Yu's state is in front of him.

Fiorentina has such a result, mainly relying on Chen Yu to charge forward, and relying on the defenders to defend tenaciously, Chen Yu does not score, how much pressure it brings to Fiorentina's heart can be imagined.

In the 25th round, Fiorentina challenged Siena away, this is a clear contest between strength and weakness, Fiorentina seems to have no doubt about winning, but the result of the game was unexpected, Siena actually defeated Fiorentina at home 0 with tenacious defense, won the second leg of the Tuscany derby, Fiorentina's left-back Chiellini also received a red card for revenge on the opponent, and was suspended for three games by the Italian Football Federation.

In the 26th round, Fiorentina and Udinese behind them had a fierce battle, this game Chen Yu finally broke the goal drought and scored his first goal, but Fiorentina still could not win, they were forced to draw by Udinese at home.

In the first round, Fiorentina was forced to draw by Reggina l:l.

In the P round, Chen Yu scored another l-goal, but Fiorentina still failed to win, and they only drew with Lecce Pepper away from home.

Four games in a row without a win, three draws and one loss, only one win in the last six games, Fiorentina has now been pulled out of the gap of 9 points and 10 points by the old Juventus and AC Milan, although it is still in third place in the standings, but the league championship has almost become a fantasy, due to the chase behind the approach, the gap between Inter Milan and Fiorentina is only 5 points, Udinese only has U points, and now Fiorentina even the Champions League place does not seem to be so secure.

Previously, Fiorentina's management had been patient and had been giving Mondonico a chance, after all, he was still in third place in the standings, the points gap was not so big, and the hope of winning the championship remained.

But with Juventus. Before the first round of Udinese, the gap between Fiorentina and AC Milan at the top of the table was only 4 points, and Udinese and Inter Milan behind them had U points and 5 points.

President de la Valle said it was a crucial game and that if they can beat Udinese, Fiorentina can at least secure a Champions League place and then win the title, and he hopes that Mondonico will take this game seriously and play it as a knockout round.

However, Fiorentina ended up drawing with Udinese in that match, and did not shake off their opponents.

The match against Reggina was the only underdog in the next few rounds against Fiorentina, who will have to play Lecce, Inter Milan and Juventus, and if they can't win, Fiorentina are even in danger of going six games without a win.

Before the game, Fiorentina general manager Lu Casey issued a warning, believing that Mondonico needs to make some changes to the team's style of play and tactics to stimulate Chen Yu's potential, otherwise Fiorentina is in danger of collapsing later.

However, Fiorentina still failed to grasp the opportunity, and after L:L was forced to draw by Reggina, Fiorentina's morale was already extremely low, and then it was reasonable that they were forced to draw by Lecce.

Previously, the media hyped the news about Mondonico's resignation, but with Fiorentina's defeat of Lazio in the league and Rome's victory in the cup, the news about Mondonico's resignation gradually faded.

And now, the question of Mondonico's position has been brought up by the media again, and the reporters believe that Fiorentina has every chance and strength to win the championship, but the head coach Mondonico is the biggest shortcoming, if Mondonico has the command ability of Rihagel or Capello, Fiorentina should now be at the top of the list.

Reporters think that Fiorentina wants to create a miracle in the last ten rounds, at least to keep the Champions League seat, it should change the coach, the team has already played like this, Mondonico if there is a way to return to the sky, he has already used it, don't expect him to create any miracles later, it is better to change the coach, as the saying goes, changing the coach is like changing the knife, it will not be worse than Mondonico.

Journalists also gave advice to Fiorentina in the search for Mondonico's successors, Prandelli, Zaccheroni, Vialli, Triem, Cooper, Masaleni, Zoff...... This long list of names, in the eyes of journalists, is a hundred times stronger than Mondonico.

The media is hot, and the Fiorentina club is silent again, just like last time, many people understand what this silence represents, because Fiorentina will play Inter Milan in the next round, if Fiorentina can win, they will have almost no problem in the top four, if Fiorentina loses, Inter Milan and Udinese can narrow the gap between the two sides to one game, then the Champions League place is really dangerous.

Fiorentina FC are waiting for the outcome of this game before making a decision on their next move.

Head coach Mondonico has long felt the crisis.

In the last round away to Lecce, Fiorentina only had 1,000 fans with the team, and at its peak, Fiorentina had 30,000 people to play away from home.

In the last round against Reggina, Mondonico heard some radical fans shouting out for class.

Now Mondonico felt like he was sitting on explosives, and that the underside of his ass could explode at any moment.

What is the reason for Mondonico's knowledge? Since that quarter-final match with Rome Coppa Italia, Fiorentina has not eased up, injuries continue, bans, red cards, physical fitness has always been difficult to recover, and what is even more difficult is that Chen Yu has dropped the number of goals under the strict defense of the opponent, and in this case, Mondonico has nothing to do.

However, the reality is that this is the case, the coach is there to solve this problem, no matter how difficult it is, Mondonico has to overcome, he does not want to leave the class, he still has unfulfilled dreams in Florence.

At the pre-match press conference, Mondonico issued a call to action to the players and fans.

"This is one of the most crucial games for Fiorentina this season, we are against Inter Milan, they are very strong, and now they are coming out of the cycle of draws, and it will be very difficult to play against them, but we have to win, we have no choice but to win. One step forward keeps our hopes alive and one step back and we are desperate for a Champions League place. So, we have to stick together and give it our all to try to get the three points at home. ”
