The result of being eliminated by Lazio did not make Fiorentina much annoyed, after all, with only 25 players in the first team, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to deal with the game on three fronts at the same time, so at this time, being out of the Coppa Italia, although this defeat did deal a certain blow to Fiorentina's morale on the bright side, it was actually a good thing for the purple lily.

This is probably what he means.

Unlike the first team, who had to choose to abandon the Coppa Italia for the Champions League and league battles, Jose Mourinho's Fiorentina II side continued their impressive performances since the start of the season. In the head-to-head clash with Roma, they played at the Estadio Giuliano Sarti and had a tough time with the Red Wolves, who had hidden many key players such as Totti and Emerson. In the unfavorable situation of conceding a goal in the first half, the players of the second team were inspired by Mourinho to fight back, first by Vucinic in the 54th minute with a mistake by Zebina to equalize, and then by Quagliarella, the world wave maniac from 40 meters away from the goal to blast in a shocking super long-range shot to complete the overtake!

The Roma players were naturally unwilling to accept the fate of losing, and in the following time, with the advantage of overall strength and Totti and other main players on the field one after another, the Red Wolves. However, instead of crumbling under Roma's pressure, the lads of the second team took advantage of the opponent's massive pressure to launch several dangerous counter-attacks, and Vucinic scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute!

In this way, Roma, who were full of confidence before the game, finally lost 1-3 away to Fiorentina II, who were still playing in Serie B, and lost their hopes of winning the Coppa Italia. And with a series of highlight performances since the start of this season, especially the matchup with the Roma team, the value of these players in the second team has also risen, and more and more teams are paying attention to them.

Zeman, who is coaching at Sampdoria, has spotted Vucinic, with the Czech believing the all-round Serbian striker has what it takes to be the next Signoli; Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have their eyes on Quagliarella, a young striker who has not played much but has many amazing performances, and the two Premier League rivals believe that Quagliarella can be used as a surprise soldier or even a super substitute like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer; In addition, players such as De Rossi and Palombo have also attracted a lot of attention, but most of them are mid-table clubs, and those top giants obviously don't look down on these young people who have no experience in the top league.

The main reason why De Rossi was able to become famous at a young age and get the attention of many giant clubs in his previous life was that he was in Serie A, the top stage in Europe, not Serie B at all, which not many people paid attention to except for Italian domestic people. Therefore, in the absence of sufficiently convincing performances, De Rossi and their situation are clearly not as good as those of Vucinic, who have already made a name for themselves in Roma.

However, although there are many teams who want to dig into the corners of Fiorentina, no one really dares to trouble Fiorentina. After all, no matter what, Purple Lily is one of the top wealthy families after all, and the forces behind it should not be underestimated. If it had gone too far, then Florence's subsequent revenge would not have been a joke.

Now let's turn our attention back to the first team.

March 9, the twenty-fourth round of Serie A. Fiorentina beat Vicenza at the Stadio Franchi, with goals from Vieri and Inzaghi helping the Purple Lilies to a 2-0 victory and a double-digit gap to Juventus.

On the other hand, seeing Fiorentina riding far ahead in the standings, Juventus began to lose their breath, and the good mood brought by the previous reversal victory over the purple lily also disappeared. After all, seeing that the league championship is about to become the bag of the purple lily, how can Juventus, who have not tasted the Serie A trophy for more than a decade, endure it?

As a result, as Fiorentina got closer and closer to the league title, Lippi's life at Juventus began to be difficult. Many Juventus insiders, celebrities and fans have complained about the Silver Foxes' inability to lead the Bianconeri to a breakthrough in the league. Some people even think that only by bringing in Capello or Heynckes and letting these two managers who know Fiorentina know everything about it deal with the Purple Lily, can they hope to regain the league title after a long absence!

While Lippi was racking his brains as he could turn around his team's huge disadvantage in Serie A, Fiorentina faced Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the Champions League.

Due to Fiorentina's 4-1 victory at the Westphalia in the first leg, Heynckes, who had a huge advantage in this game, was able to make some changes to the starting lineup, replacing Carlos and others with rotation players such as Zivo, so that these main players could accumulate energy to help the team continue to challenge for the league title.

Dortmund is obviously not as easy as Fiorentina, and it is impossible for Summerer to give away the chance to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup, and he is determined to fight hard in this game, trying to take advantage of the opponent's carelessness to snatch this ticket to the quarterfinals from Fiorentina.

Lehmann, Evanelson, Warnes, Metzelde, Dede, Kyle, Reut, Riken, Rosicky, Amoruso and Jan Kohler, that's the starting XI for Borussia Dortmund. On the other hand, Fiorentina, compared with the last meeting, Heynckes did not even send Vieri this time, but only arranged Milito as the starting center, and Di Natale and Giuli assisted in the frontcourt attack combination.

In the face of such a Fiorentina team, although the players of Dortmund tried their best to recover the disadvantage, they had no choice but to dig the hole they had dug before was too big to fill unless the goddess of luck favored it.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Fiorentina defeated Dortmund from afar with a clever shot by Milito in the penalty area, eliminated the Hornets with an aggregate score of 5-1, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup!
