Chapter 66: The Fifth Round

Challenge Inter Milan's record of 17 consecutive wins last season.

Even if Fiorentina has never shouted this slogan in front of the media, there is no doubt that the fact that Fiorentina will be the target of public criticism cannot be changed.

Although football matches pay attention to fair competition, but for a league, all kinds of interest entanglements are always unclear, for example, the three teams in the north, the traditional powerhouse of the Serie A, have their own interest groups in the Serie A league, if they shout, to create a new winning streak this season, maybe there will be someone to escort them, but Florence, it is different.

When will it be their turn to be so arrogant in Serie A!

At first, you may not be able to see anything, but once those strong teams see that Fiorentina has achieved their momentum, it is impossible to say that when the time comes, Fiorentina will face encirclement and interception.

In the fifth round of the league, Fiorentina will face the league title contender Roma at home, although the Red Wolves are not in the circle of interests of the top three in the north, but the desire for the championship will definitely inspire them to fight more fiercely to stop Fiorentina.

The day before this game, the top three in the north all appeared, AC Milan, who had been winless for three consecutive rounds, visited Palermo, and the Rossoneri, who were short of major generals, finally lost 1:2 to Palermo away, suffering their second defeat of the season.

In the game, Palermo striker Amaury assisted Diana to score after handball in the AC Milan penalty area, which became the biggest controversy of the game and is also considered a turning point in the game.

At the press conference after the game, Ancelotti first affirmed AC Milan's performance when facing questions from reporters, he said: "I am satisfied with the process of the AC Milan game today, the way of interpreting the game, in fact, the team has gone through the difficult period of the previous games, the first hour of the game, our performance was perfect, very balanced between attack and defense, I saw a high-level AC Milan, I couldn't have asked for better, but, then the referee's misjudgment made the game enter a turning point, Changed the whole result. ”

'We need the referee to be a little more cautious, not just for us, but for the whole game, Amaury jumped up and stopped the ball with his arm, which seemed to me a clear foul, but the referee ignored it, which made me very angry and we played a good game. We played positively, we played good football, our own football, we had the pace, we had the desire to win, and Gilardino did well today, but now we have to go back home with regrets, but I am more determined to win than I was in the past. ”

Galliani and Carlo Ancelotti shared the same sentiment: "The team played well, created a lot of chances, Seedorf and Pirlo hit the woodwork twice, and the opposition had two goal-line saves, so a draw was already a very unfortunate result, let alone a loss. The result was unsatisfactory, with our mistakes and referees' mistakes, with the first goal undoubtedly misjudged, with Diana in an offside position and Amaury stopping the ball with his hands. We shouldn't have lost, if it wasn't for the referee who ruled that the goal was valid, we should have won, we didn't understand the referee's decision and we wanted the misjudgment against us should have stopped. ”

Speaking about the future, Galliani said: "The table doesn't worry me, the team has the quality to catch up, the players are doing well, we shouldn't have failed today, remember that we are the defending champions of Europe, we have already won the UEFA Super Cup this season and we will try to win the Shijie Club Cup, I believe we can show more motivation and achieve more results." ”

AC Milan expressed their dissatisfaction with the referee's misjudgment, but although the referee's misjudgment did become a turning point in the game, AC Milan also had to blame themselves, because in the game, there were a lot of opportunities slipped out of their hands, and if they had scored the second goal earlier to "kill" the game, would the game still be like this?

One might have complained about luck, but it was true that Seedorf and Andrea Pirlo hit the same position on the crossbar, the Palermo defenders made two goal-line saves, and Kaka and Gilardino had a one-on-one chance each in the first half, but it was not entirely accidental.

Gilardino, who continues to not score goals, may become the target of media criticism again after the game, but in fact, this embarrassing phenomenon in the league does not belong to Gilardino alone, but to the entire AC Milan forward line.

AC Milan's scorer list, the first is Kaka, the second is Seedorf, in addition to Ambrosini and Nesta have scored, while Inzaghi and Gilardino are blank, where have Milan's forwards gone?

Inzaghi has actually scored a lot of goals this season, but the goals have come in the Berlusconi Cup, the Super Cup and the European Champions Cup, and in the league, Pippo has not yet "broken his fast", which is not only a problem for Gilardino alone.

Ahead of the game, Carlo Ancelotti also highlighted the benefits of the 'Christmas tree', saying: "Playing with two strikers, the midfielders will not be so aggressive and resolute. ”

But judging from the data, it is precisely this "Christmas tree" that transfers the striker's goal to the two front waisters, but the front waist as the main goal, which is equivalent to pulling the team's attack line back 10 meters, undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the attack, Seedorf and Pirlo's long-range shot in the lintel is indeed close to the goal, but it is not an absolute opportunity to play through cooperation, in other words, Seedorf's arc around the back corner, Pirlo's long shot, can be played like this is already quite good, If a team can only rely on shijie waves to score goals, then it means that the team's attacking line is really problematic.

Back to the "Christmas tree" formation, this formation is invincible on the European battlefield, that is because the European competition is relatively open, except for individual teams, no one is willing to play the "iron bucket formation" behind closed doors, Inzaghi can often find opportunities for single strikers, but in the league is completely different things, every team knows how to play the iron bucket formation, against AC Milan, the top striker is the first to fall into the sea of people. If it is a double striker, the two strikers can still open each other's space, and the single striker can only rely on the striker to open the gap for the forward midfielder and make sacrifices.

Regardless of whether Ancelotti really prefers the "Christmas tree", he has no choice now, because AC Milan only has two strikers available, before the start of the Ronaldo season, after a short comeback, he was injured again, and now he doesn't know when he will be able to play, Pato has a time limit, but it will not be until January next year, in this case, the team has to deal with the third-line battle, Ancelotti must consider rotation, and the use of the "Christmas tree" is the only possibility of rotation, but now the "Christmas tree" can not be rotated, Because Kaka and Seedorf also need to rest, the youngster Gourcuff can't take the lead for the time being.

In fact, the bane has already been planted in the summer, what is Ronaldo's body, whether he is prone to injury, the club knows better than anyone else, in this case, Weishenme will not buy another striker?

Moggi blamed Juventus for selling Salayeta, citing the fact that "who still has four strikers?" ”

However, AC Milan only had three strikers in the first half of the season, and they had to deal with the UEFA Champions League more than Juventus, in fact, AC Milan should be thankful for their luck, Inzaghi, who is usually prone to injury, has not been injured until now, otherwise the situation will be even more difficult to manage.

There are many reasons for this, a miscalculation may cover up a lot, a team can not play with a coach leading a group of players, it is time for the club to reflect.

AC Milan's hesitant mistakes in the 2006 transfer market continue to affect the team to this day, and the club can only watch as Ibrahimovic scores for his local rivals, and the void left by letting go of super-scorer Degan may be even more difficult to fill.

Whenever AC Milan's striker doesn't score, people think of Degan, and looking at Degan's madness at Fiorentina right now, Galliani feels sad, and as for what Ancelotti thinks, it's even more unpredictable.

But one thing is for sure, if it weren't for Kaka's explosion last season and the Champions League trophy, I'm afraid Ancelotti would have gotten out long ago.

One trick is fresh, eat all over the world!

Carlo Ancelotti feels good about himself and believes that his team is capable of all the miracles.

But an unavoidable problem is that all the energy of the AC Milan senior team has actually been almost consumed, but look at the supplement of AC Milan in the past two seasons, it is basically equal to zero, and last season I bought an Oliveira, but after a year of travel, he was sent back to Spain, and Emerson, who was introduced for free this season, has not yet shown his strength.

And many positions that need to be strengthened, until now, there has been no action from AC Milan, it is still a cliché, goalkeeper problems, this game Dida sat in the stands, although the reason was some minor injuries, but Ancelotti also had a reason to calm down, in the first four rounds, Dida was the lowest-rated goalkeeper of each team who played four games, but Karachi, who replaced him, was even worse.

It should be said that AC Milan is still a lot stronger than Palermo in terms of overall strength, the control of the situation, as well as the good form of Kaladze and Nesta, did not let Karachi be tested too much, Karachi is lucky, when Dida is in front of the goal, AC Milan's goal is always in the wind, Dida keeps making mistakes at the same time, there will be some wonderful saves in every game, and what about Karachi?

Often as soon as he stands in front of the goal, the ball always flies high around the goal frame, or the opponent rarely gets the opportunity to shoot, some people analyze, this is the Karachi goalkeeper, AC Milan defenders are more cautious and more focused because they are not at ease with him, and the reason why they are more focused is unknown.

But luck can't always be with one person, and although Dida is long gone, the Brazilian has made good saves in every game, but Karachi didn't even have a chance to perform.

The goalkeeper position is not satisfactory, it is just one of many problems, and AC Milan's poor results cannot put the full blame on one person.

AC Milan's biggest problem now is that they can't grasp the key point of victory, and Ancelotti's use of troops is the key.

Across Europe, AC Milan are the oldest teams with an average age, which undoubtedly poses fitness problems, especially with too many consecutive games at the start of the season.

In the last month, AC Milan have played five league games, one Champions League and one UEFA Super Cup, and the Chinese players have also played two international matches.

And how many players did Ancelotti actually use?

If you don't count the likes of Simic, Cafu and others who are purely on the pitch, Ancelotti is using 12 or 13 players.

Among the main 11 people, 10 are certain, only Gilardino and Inzaghi rotate, among the substitutes, only Brockie and Emerson really have a chance to play, as for Bonella, Gourcuff and Favali, they are basically playing soy sauce, if it weren't for Dida's injury, I'm afraid it wouldn't be Karachi's turn to get the whole game time in this round.

It is Ancelotti's habit not to like rotation, except before the Champions League and after the national team game, Ancelotti gave up Pirlo and Kaka to be regarded as a rotation system, and other games are the main players who can play.

The fixed lineup and playing style are the guarantee of this team's ornamental style of play, after all, the cooperation of Seedorf's goal in this round is not something that can be completed by random lineup.

However, the result of the intensive participation of the main team is that due to the concentration of the schedule, it is easy to cause a gap in physical fitness in the second half of the game, and various mistakes come one after another, and the foundation for victory laid in the first half cannot be controlled.

Football is no longer a game that can be done by eleven people, Fiorentina is now recognized as a strong team, but in addition to Digan and Frei, it is difficult for people to say who is the main force and who is the substitute in other positions.

AC Milan obviously didn't recognize this, the game is always so many people, squandered the opportunity, the physical strength has declined, AC Milan is difficult not to lose this round.

If he wants to turn the league situation around, Ancelotti will have to count on the more cards in his hand as much as possible, and of course he will need to change his mind and learn to rotate.

For example, the French teenager Gourcuff, who was expected to have high hopes, was cheered when he first arrived in Milan, but in the last few games, people have not seen Gourcuff, after the poor performance against Siena, Ancelotti has decided to put the Frenchman behind the two veterans of Brockie and Emerson, and become a substitute for the AC Milan midfielder.

Judging from the configuration of AC Milan's lineup, Gourcuff's situation is indeed awkward, because he not only has to compete with the midfielders, but also has to race against time, once Ronaldo returns, Pato can play, AC Milan reverts to a two-striker style of play, and is bound to remove a midfielder, and Gourcuff's position has to be one place in the back.

In fact, Gourcuff's potential is recognized by everyone, when he just joined, Berlusconi also took the initiative to "use Gourcuff and Kaka two talented players to form a double forward midfield" suggestion, the French let Lao Bei also rarely recognize the "Christmas tree", Kaka described Gourcuff as "he is by my side, just like Messi next to Ronaldo", but now look at it, Messi and Gourcuff are rapidly moving in two directions.

There is a psychological problem in this, Gourcuff is too introverted and never willing to say what he thinks in his heart, but the bigger problem is at the jishu level, after coming to AC Milan, Ancelotti has not given Gourcuff an accurate positioning, more than a year later, the Frenchman has played all positions in the midfield, and Kaka, on the first day of joining AC Milan, was in the position of attacking midfielder.

Gourcuff's jishu has not yet been finalized, he has a lot of strengths, but there are also limitations, he is excellent in place, strong ball control and physical confrontation, can shoot from a distance, outstanding physical strength, the disadvantage is the lack of forward ability, sometimes too indulged in the small jishu at the feet and ignore the overall situation, there are some problems with the strength of the pass, etc., such a player is very malleable, the disadvantage is not that it cannot be changed, but the requirements of each position are different, Gourcuff has never been regarded as a winger, a forward midfielder, a back midfielder, Or the mid-midfielder has been cultivated alone, but it wanders between various positions, like a patch.

It can't be said that Ancelotti is useless, it's just that he knows people but is not good at it.

AC Milan lost and city rivals Inter Milan won a game, which could be even more embarrassing for the Rossoneri, who could win even though they were facing some problems.

"Ibrahimovic, crazy shot!"

Once again, Milan Sport has been conquered by the Swedes, and indeed, Ibrahimovic's goal against Sampdoria will drive all football lovers crazy.

When the game reached the forty-ninth minute, after several passes in the Inter midfield, the football came to the feet of Ibrahimovic, the moment he got the ball, the defender on the right side immediately pasted, and the other two defenders came forward from the front to wrap up, the Swede turned half of his body and leaned on the right side, his toes just stopped the ball, and seemed to have lost control, when the other two defenders pounced on the ball, Ibrahimovic reversed the outside of his right foot, and threw all three defenders away with one action, In the face of the attacking goalkeeper, there was no unnecessary adjustment, and he directly volleyed his left foot into the net, and the whole Meazza boiled!

This is a goal that purely belongs to Ibrahimovic, relying entirely on one person's liliang to completely destroy an entire defense line from the front, and there are only a handful of such players.

It's no wonder Moratti used Ibrahimovic to replace the legendary Mazzola in Inter's all-time team, and Mancini admitted: "To play well, Inter Milan will always need two players to be at their best. ”

The two players Mancini was referring to were Ibrahimovic and Patrick Vieira!

Since the start of the season, Ibrahimovic's status as the soul of Inter Milan has become even more evident, with Inter scoring a long goal in the first five league games, of which Ibrahimovic has six goals and two assists, and only the first goal against Catania has little to do with him.

With one person involved in nearly ninety percent of the goals, and six individual goals giving the team seven out of eleven points, even Vieri and Adriano in the past have not been so terrifyingly efficient.

In fact, Ibrahimovic's performances on the pitch were not as consistent as the stats, with the newspaper Sport noting that Ibrahimovic "disappeared" for much of the first half against Sampdoria.

Figo's start made most of Inter Milan's offensive after the opening pass through the feet of the Portuguese, Ibrahimovic did not show much effect, and there was also some unfamiliarity between Crespo, who has been difficult to play recently.

But the spark of genius could be ignited in an instant, and in the following game, Ibrahimovic got as big as possible, first receiving a pass from Figo, turning away from Campagnaro, and shooting a left-footed shot into the far corner from the top of the penalty area, scoring a very crisp goal to open the door to victory for Inter.

Most of the credit for the goal was due to Crespo, who was the Argentine's aggressive run to take away the two defenders, and Ibrahimovic was given plenty of space after turning.

Ibrahimovic scored two goals in the game, and Zuihou's shot was not too difficult, but there was one thing that was amazing, these two clean shots were done with the left foot!

The Swede is more accustomed to using his right foot and has scored his first four goals of the season with his right foot, but his left-footed shot was no slouch in this game, suggesting that Ibrahimovic's all-round finishing is still on the rise, his potential is not yet fully exploded, and a striker with excellent left and right foot ability will be even more difficult to guard against.

Roberto Mancini recently said Ibrahimovic deserved the Ballon d'Or, and he spoke about it again after the game: "Ibrahimovic is sprinting towards the Ballon d'Or, although usually those who win the trophy need to win the trophy, but he still has time and he has done well enough. ”

If Ibrahimovic can maintain his form in recent rounds for a long time, he will indeed have a chance of hitting the Ballon d'Or in the future.

In addition to the two perfect goals, Ibrahimovic was exposed to his inherent flaws in this game, in the second half, he deliberately kicked the ball at the opponent's opponent under the nose of the referee, and received a yellow card needlessly, and his character shortcomings may hinder the Swede's development towards greater achievements, but in any case, Mancini now has the most perfect striker to play the "perfect game" for him.

Inter Milan won, Juventus also beat the underdog Reggina 4-0 at home, except for Trezeguet, who is accustomed to scoring goals, the remaining three are their first goals of the new season, and in addition to Lerotaree, Salihamidzic and Palladino are all personal Serie A debutants.

Lerotalie was brought to Juventus by Moggi for a large amount of money with a season's outstanding performance, but the subsequent disappointment made the deal one of the three deals that Moggi repented, and under Ranieri, Lerotalie regained some playing opportunities, and Lerotari, who started in place of the injured Andrade, opened the scoring for the team with a corner kick and repaid Ranieri's trust.

Like Inter Milan and AC Milan, Juventus is now facing injury troubles, especially Camoranesi's injury has given Ranieri a headache, the problem of attacking on the side has not been properly solved, Nocerino is very hard, and it can be regarded as a balance between attack and defense, but it lacks distinctive characteristics and the ability to break through on the side, when he was in Atalanta, it has been proven that Nocerino is more suitable to play as a destroyer in the middle, and the commando captain, and the wing is really not a suitable position for him.

Nedved is in the twilight of his career, and the 35-year-old Czech is no longer able to dominate Juventus' attack as much as he did back then.

Playing Regina, Ranieri let Salihamidzic, who had returned from injury, replace Nedved as a left midfielder, and in the game the Bosnian used his dribbling and breakthrough to attack on the right side of Regina, and at the beginning of the second half, Salihamidzicli took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to score and complete his first Serie A goal.

Salihamidzic was known as the angel wings of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the fans at Bayern Munich, and he could play in four positions on the left and right, and in the days when Camoranesi was still in his hospital bed, Salihamidzic was able to support Juve's wide attack, a discovery that pleased Ranieri more than the Bosnia-Herzegovina goal.

In addition to Salihamidzic's first goal, Palladino's performance also made Ranieri feel gratified, as the main striker of the Italian Olympic team, Palladino is also famous at a young age, especially in the year of Serie B, Palladino occupies half of the main striker position in Juventus, and Palladino scored 8 goals in the entire Serie B league.

When Trezeguet did not have a good relationship with the team, Palladino was designated as Trezeguet's successor, but Palladino, who is 182 tall, is not a standard center forward in terms of Jishu characteristics, and cannot become a fulcrum in the frontcourt of Juventus' offensive system, but his offensive ability with the ball is stronger than Trezeguet.

In the last round, in the match with Roma, Palladino was a substitute and performed very positively on the field, and Palladino, who got the chance to start this game, still showed good competitive form and scored a goal.

Previously, the Italian media reported that Juventus wanted to exchange Palladino plus 12 million euros for Gilardino, but now Juventus sees the state of the two, considering the age and price difference, Juventus should cancel this idea, and another deal about Palladino is to exchange Fiorentina's Ujfalusi, but seeing Palladino's goals and on-field performance, Ranieri is unlikely to be willing to use Italy to exchange the defender of the year for the future striker.

At the beginning of the season, when talking about Juventus, although some people included it in the list of league titles this season, in fact, many people still felt that Juventus had already succeeded in reaching the European competition next season.

However, after five rounds of league matches, people were surprised to find that Juventus was still in the first group, and Ranieri as the manager was able to achieve such results.

Ranieri is known as the "tinker" in international football, the so-called tinker, because Ranieri likes and is good at making some frequent small-scale adjustments to the lineup, and in this game, Ranieri is to give full play to the characteristics of his tinker.

Ranieri rotated six players in the starting line-up, having just played away from home to Roma in the last round, so Ranieri borrowed Reggina as an underdog to rotate the squad and test some of his own substitutions, and it turned out to be a success.

With three main rivals, two wins and one defeat, Fiorentina will be in a clash with direct rivals Roma in this round.

Previously, Roma and Fiorentina were unbeaten before the game, and in the last round of Rome draw, Fiorentina took the opportunity to open up a two-point gap, and in this direct face-to-face match, Roma coach Spalletti's goal is to win and regain the advantage.

However, in this game, Roma is also facing a dilemma, the team's number one star Totti is out with a thigh injury, Degan's former teammate Cassetti and midfielder Perrotta are also exempt from the game, Spalletti can only passively rotate the starting lineup, Giuli returns to the team, Vucinic plays a single striker, and Fiorentina veteran Gambellini will face his old club.

Fiorentina had no such concerns at all, except for Cavinaghi who suffered a flu before the game and was absent, Prandelli sent the strongest lineup, the goalkeeper was rested, Frei who returned, Pascual, Ujfarucci, Thiago in the backline. Silva, Abate, the midfield three Motta, Ledesma and Arteta, Montolivo in front, Digan in front of Mutu.

After the start of the game, the Fiorentina players looked a little too excited, Montolivo made a mistake when he stopped the ball, was cut off by the opponent, and played directly on the counter-attack, Vucinic passed the ball to the left side of the box, and Mancini Jr. headed wide of the near post.

After being attacked once, Prandelli hurried to the sidelines, asked his players to calm down and slow down the tempo a little, and Fiorentina played their more adept pass and receive tactics, Ledesma crossed from the right and Mutu headed wide in front of goal.

Then Gyuli made a direct pass, and Vucinic faced the attacking Frei, and shot with a shovel, and after the football was at the middle post, it popped off the bottom line.

After that, Arteta sent a through ball in the middle, and after receiving the ball, Digan did not rush to get his feet, but slammed his heel lightly and fired high from outside the box of Montolivo.

Arteta didn't get as many opportunities as Modric after his move to Fiorentina, but he showed his value on several appearances.

On the pitch, Arteta has never been the kind of person who likes to show off, and often after a game, people are not easy to find out about his existence, but even in the ordinary, Arteta can always show his extraordinary.

He is clearly better than the other Fiorentina midfielders in his control of the game, although he is not as inconspicuous as Modric's brilliant goals, but as long as he plays, he will always be the most active in the Fiorentina team.

A pass just now, also showed his ability, when receiving the ball, Roma has already two players pounced, the pass is early, easy to be intercepted by the opponent, the pass is late, the passing route is gone.

Mikel Arteta seized the moment with a through-ball that slipped straight through the crack and into the feet of Degan, but Montolivo's subsequent shot was just a few centimetres wide and couldn't help his team take the lead.

But even so, there was a round of applause in the stands of Fraki Stadium.

Judging from the fifteen minutes after the start of the game, although the offensive was five or five, Fiorentina's attack was very smooth, and the pressure on the defense was not very great.

But there is an exception to everything, Fiorentina, who had just missed a good chance to score, were quickly punished, and when the game reached the twentieth minute, Roma suddenly increased the tempo of the attack, Giuli crossed from the right, and Mancini Jr. scored with a clever right-footed lob in front of the goal!

Roma lead 1-0.

The city gate was breached, Frei was also a little dumbfounded, just now at the moment of Jiuli's pass, he had already judged the landing point of the football, and was ready to stop the ball, but he didn't expect little Mancini to wait for the ball in place, but took the initiative to meet it, and came with such a hanging shot.

The score is behind!

For the first time since the start of the new season, Fiorentina have fallen behind at home.

Of course, now Fiorentina is no longer the same as it was at the beginning, the age structure of the team is constantly getting younger, and even has the title of the Young Guard, but the team's performance on the field is more mature.

Falling behind by one goal is not enough to leave Fiorentina in turmoil.

In the next game, the whole Fiorentina team played more pressing under the leadership of Digan, and in the 23rd minute, the Roma defense made a mistake in clearing, and after Montolivo won the ball, a long-range shot missed the right post.

A minute later, Fiorentina broke the ball in the midfield, or Arteta's through ball, directly to the right side of the penalty area, Mutu pushed the shot, was blocked by Roma goalkeeper Doni out of the bottom line, Montolivo left corner kick, Fiorentina old Gambellini rushed in front of the team's goalkeeper Doni to clear, but accidentally passed the ball to Digan, Digan faced such an opportunity, of course, will not miss, left-footed volley into the upper right corner, 1:1.

After Digan scored, he immediately roared and rushed to the sidelines, and the Fiorentina fans in the stands of the Flatadio Fragi were already jubilant, and the huge banner was once again displayed: Thank you Digan! 135!

Gamberini, who had made a serious mistake, stood in dismay, looking at the Fiorentina players who were celebrating enthusiastically, and he couldn't help but be a little distracted, he was one of those people last season.

Gambellini did not regret his original choice, people go to higher places, but they switch to Rome, whether they go to high places or flow to low places, it is unknown.

However, in Rome, Gambellini got the main position he wanted, but after five rounds of league games, there is also an Italian Super Cup and a Champions League group stage, his performance can only be described as mediocre, not amazing at all, and there are already people in the team who question Spalletti's way of employing people, plus Mex's imminent return from injury, perhaps his main position will also be unstable.

The score was equalised, and Roma began to step up their attack, and in the 30th minute, De Rossi shot with his right foot from 35 meters in front of goal, but the angle was too high and was knocked out by Frei.

Tadei then fired a diagonal left-footed shot and Frei again blocked Roma's shot.

In the 32nd minute, Mutu's right-footed shot was blocked by Siciño with his body, Montolivo took a corner kick from the right side, and Mutu's volley was wide of the right side of the goal.

In the 36th minute, Fiorentina took a corner kick from the left, and Digan's header hit the goal, which was magically defused by goalkeeper Doni with his fingertips.

In the 37th minute, Roma played a beautiful counterattack, Mancini Jr. made a direct pass, Aquilani gave Giuli on the right side, Giuli scored with a precise push of his right foot in the near corner of the penalty line, and Roma exceeded 2:1 again.

was scored by Roma again, Prandelli was also a little helpless, because Roma's two goals cannot be called absolute chances, basically the shooter's own ability in advance, but these two chances brought two goals to Rome.

At the end of the first half, Roma still had a one-goal lead, and in the second half, the two teams changed sides again, and Perland used Modric to replace Motta, who had not performed well in the first half, to increase the control of the midfield.

In the 47th minute, Luka Modric, who had just come on as a substitute, found a good chance to score, but after receiving a pass from Arteta, he pushed a shot from inside the box that went just wide.

In the 53rd minute, Mutu's left-footed shot from outside the box was also high.

In the 61st minute, Degan's free kick hit the middle and was again knocked out by Roma goalkeeper Doni.

Roma started the second half and played for more than ten minutes, without a decent attack, and it was clear that Spalletti wanted to maintain this point lead until the end of the period.

Rome hoarded heavy troops in the backfield to defend, and Florence had no choice for a while, and at the critical moment, it was Digan who stepped up.

Seventy minutes into the game, Digan returned to the midfield, cut off Tadei's ball, and then rushed directly to the Roma penalty area, after shaking De Rossi and Aquilani in a row, before Gambellini made up the defense, he gently pushed the ball with his left foot like a side, and then bypassed Gambellini, re-received Arteta's pass, and pushed directly without adjustment.

Goalkeeper Doni chose to attack in time, but Degan had a more sophisticated grasp of the time, and the ball passed between Doni's legs and rolled directly into the goal.

2:2!

Thanks Deegan! 136!

Fiorentina will not be satisfied with the equaliser, they want to break Inter Milan's seventeen-game winning streak in Serie A, counting a few games in Zuihou last season, Fiorentina have maintained eight wins, as long as they can win at home, their goal can go further.

Finally, when the game reached the eighty-fifth minute, the opportunity came, Mutu steals the ball in the backfield and breaks through the middle to divide the ball, Degan takes the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and is directly tackled by Gamberini, penalty!

Although the Roma players surrounded the referee and protested loudly, they could not change the referee's decision, and from the slow-motion replay, it was indeed a foul, a very serious foul.

Mutu took the penalty and hit the middle of the net with a "small spoon" with his right foot, 3:2.

The score was maintained until the end.
