PS: First of all, I asked for a recommendation vote here, thank you......

Fiorentina's opening win coincided with the final whistle for another Group B match of the Champions League, with Athletic Bilbao drawing at home to visiting Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven in 90 minutes, with a goal each scored by four players from Echeberia, Ursey, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Oyer, who ended in a draw.

And just like that, with only one round of the group stage, Fiorentina took the lead and topped the Group B standings with three points!

On the fourth day after the first round of the Champions League, Fiorentina welcomed the second round of Serie A.

Speaking of which, the second opponent the Fiorentina players face in the league is an old acquaintance, the Vicenza team who have played them twice in the UEFA Super Cup and the Italian Super Cup not long ago.

For the result of this game, the vast majority of fans and media are overwhelmingly optimistic about Fiorentina winning away, after all, in the two encounters more than half a month ago, Fiorentina had the upper hand with one win and one draw, which will naturally attract more favors.

However, many people are fooled by these appearances and fail to notice a very crucial ingredient, which is that the Fiorentina players, who have just returned from cold Norway to the warmth of Italy, have not been given enough time to rest.

Having to play on another away road as soon as they return home is a tough test for many Fiorentina players, especially in terms of fitness and mental fitness. Moreover, even the Fiorentina players who were only watching the team and did not participate in the match against Rosenborg suffered from different fatigue due to the difference in climate between Norway and Italy and the fatigue of the journey.

Vicenza naturally did not let go of this great opportunity, and the younger Zhuge Guidorin took full advantage of the fatigue period of the Fiorentina side due to continuous travel around the country, and took the lead in the game, and Luca Toney and Larsson scored in the 12th and 18th minutes of the game, allowing the home team to establish an early two-goal lead!

Although Vieri and Andrea Pirlo each scored a goal in the ensuing space to put the two teams back on the same page, the main players of Vicenza were aiming for a home win and were clearly unwilling to settle for a draw.

So, after being equalized by Fiorentina, the Vicenza players took advantage of their physical advantage to continue to launch a tidal wave of onslaught against the goal guarded by Toldo. And their efforts were also favored by Lady Luck when the game entered injury time.

"The ball is in! Ambrosini! Massimo Ambrosini! Brilliant header! It was in the third minute of stoppage time in the second half, and the commentator roared passionately, "Three to two!" Vicenza took advantage of a corner kick in the final moments of the game to beat Fiorentina by Ambrosini! ”

Accompanied by the hoarse roar of the commentators, Fiorentina suffered their first defeat of the league of the season at the Romeo Monti Stadium.

As soon as the news of this defeat broke, many nimble teams immediately realized that although Fiorentina brought in strong players like Makelele and Gattuso in the past summer, and it seems that their overall strength has not been weakened too much, in fact, the current Purple Lilies can no longer deal with multi-front operations as calmly and easily as in the past few seasons.

This discovery naturally gave many managers the confidence to overturn Fiorentina's domination, and they all believed that as long as they could seize the opportunity, they would definitely be able to kill Fiorentina like Vicenza!

It's just that these people in a state of extreme excitement obviously forget that the reason why Fiorentina lost to Vicenza is that on the one hand, it is true that the players that Fiorentina used to rotate are not as vigorous and strong as in previous years, and on the other hand, they were in Norway four days ago and were not in the best shape at all. It was a combination of these two factors that Fiorentina lost away to Vicenza.

It was precisely because of this defeat that after an unexpected loss to Vicenza away, Capello who realized the root cause of the team's defeat hurriedly led the team back to Fiorentina overnight. After returning to his home base, Capello first asked the players to disband and recuperate for two days, and when they were almost recovered, they could concentrate on preparing for the third round of the league at the weekend.

According to the schedule made by the Italian Football Federation, Fiorentina still have to play away from home in this league game. This time, the Purple Lily's opponent is AC Milan, coached by attacking madman Zaccheroni.

Due to the Rossoneri's poor record last season and the fact that the Serie A giants will celebrate their centenary next year, Berlusconi finally opened his wallet this summer and gave the team enough financial support, with only one demand: at the end of the season, Zaccheroni must lead the team to a championship trophy to celebrate the club's birthday!

So, after some discussions with Zaccheroni about the signing, Galliani set out on a long road with a thick cheque book. Under the offensive of this kind of money shells, many teams have neatly announced their surrender, exchanging their main and even core players for a lot of dollars.

Bierhoff and Hellweig have arrived at a high price from Udinese, and their arrival has effectively compensated for AC Milan's lack of strikers and right-backs; Although Vicenza stubbornly resisted the moves of Galliani, Ambrosini and Koko, Galliani dug Federico Jonti, who had a brief spell at Fiorentina, and strengthened the depth of the bench in the defensive midfield; This, combined with the purchase of Argentine centre-back Roberto Ayala from Napoli, who were unfortunately relegated last season, has greatly strengthened the safety of Costacuta's porous backline after a long slump, well, at least on paper.

At the same time, Galliani also retained Mayney, who was supposed to leave before the start of the season, and French defender Desailly, so that Zaccheroni could have more good cards to call on during the season.

Of course, Galliani also made some puzzling deals, such as the introduction of Dida, Abbiati and Lehmann in the goalkeeper position in one go without the veteran Rossi leaving, which made AC Milan suddenly overcrowded in the goalkeeper position!

Objectively speaking, although there were slight flaws in some transfers, overall AC Milan's recruitment this summer was quite successful, clearing a large number of redundant personnel and injecting enough fresh blood to complete the renewal of the team.

As for how much fighting power this brand-new AC Milan team can play, this match against Fiorentina is a big test for Zaccheroni and his team!
