On 10 September, the Fiorentina squad travelled north to Vicenza for their second league game of the season.

Since many of Fiorentina's players played in the European Championship qualifiers three days ago, Ranieri continued his "rotation business" in this game: the starting goalkeeper was Toldo, the back line from left to right was Fortunato, Viljovod, Nesta and Zambrotta, in the midfield quartet, Tacinadi and Boar Davies replaced Di Biagio and Cripa to get the chance to start the league, and Italy's prince Roberto Baggio was withdrawn from the striker to the midfield position by Ranieri. The attacking partnership became Batistuta and Philippe Inzaghi.

On the cards, it's clear that this combination isn't Fiorentina's strongest starting line-up, but the overall strength of the team is still firmly ahead of Vicenza, and a win on the road seems to be a no-brainer.

However, the confident Fiorentina encountered the stubborn resistance of the Vicenza team led by "Little Zhuge "Guidolin" in the away game, and Xiao Zhuge arranged for the Vicenza players to use strict overall defense and fierce scrambling and fouls in this game to continuously block Fiorentina's attack, so that players such as Baggio and Fortunato, who had just returned from injury not long ago, did not dare to break through easily, making it difficult for Fiorentina to form a threatening attack on the field.

At the same time, Guidolin also made full use of the attacking prowess of his two left-sided players, defender Koko and winger Ambrosetti (who was known as the 'Italian Giggs' before joining Chelsea in the Premier League), and the two teamed up on the left side of the pitch to make the young Zambrotta, who was defending Fiorentina on the right side of the game, dizzy and miserable.

After the duo broke through from Zambrotta's side, they didn't hesitate to cross with their feet, and the attack was completed by the forward striker Otero and the two who cut in from behind, Zauri and Ambrosini.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Ambrosetti used his speed again to successfully shake off Zambrotta and then sent a powerful low cross, the ball was first rubbed with his left foot by Otero in the middle and flew straight to the left side of the Fiorentina goal, but the focused Toldo jumped up and punched the ball out.

Because Otero's shot was quite fast, Toldo, who was in a hurry to save the ball, did not make much use of the ball, and the ball just flew out of the penalty area.

Wiljovod was still defending in the box, while the other centre-back, the 19-year-old Nesta, made a mistake - he rushed to the spot of the ball at the first time, not noticing that the Vicenza players were actually closer to the football than him, and as a result, Ambrosini, who was inserted at high speed from the midfield, got the ball one step ahead of Nesta and pumped it hard with his right foot in the first place!

The black and white elf flew to the other side of the goal with a "whoosh", and Toldo, who had just made a save, was helpless in the face of this powerful attack, although he was tall and long-armed, he was not superhuman, and he did not have the ability to cross the distance of the entire goal to the other side in an instant.

With Ambrosini's goal in the 23rd minute, Vicenza took a 1-0 lead at home to defending champions Fiorentina!

This time, Zhuang Mingge, who did not follow the team and chose to sit in front of the TV to watch the game, turned his face very ugly the moment Vicenza scored the Fiorentina goal.

"This Ranieri, who reminded him to be careful, actually turned a deaf ear to me!" Zhuang Mingge gritted his teeth and thought, because through the goal replay, it can be seen that Davis and Tacchinadi, who are the front of the Fiorentina defense line, were still slowly walking back from the midfield when the Vicenza players were attacking, and it was precisely because of their negligence that they conceded this goal.

Even Zhuang Mingge thought on his toes and knew that the reason for this situation was that Ranieri, as the head coach of the team, said some dismissive words to the players before the game, which caused the players to not be nervous at all during the game, which led to the Vicenza people taking the lead.

"It's normal for this to happen, Tony. Although he was robbed by Manager Moggi once in the transfer market, in general, our club has been smooth sailing in the last two years, especially with such a brilliant record last season, so it is to be expected that Coach Ranieri will lose Jingzhou this time. Karin reassured.

"Karin, if I hadn't reminded Ranieri before, I wouldn't have anything to say about the team falling behind or even losing on the field, but after I specifically reminded Ranieri, he still has such a light attitude!" What Zhuang Mingge can't tolerate the most is this, he abides by the norms of the Italian club, and he didn't send someone to divide his power because Ranieri has a high prestige in the team, just like Abramoo did with Mourinho, this time he just reminded Ranieri out of kindness, but he didn't expect that the two years have been smooth sailing, and his confidence has swelled, and the tinker has not received his boss's love at all.

How many bosses will put up with employees who don't take themselves seriously?

However, Ranieri's approach to Ranieri needs to be carefully considered, after all, changing managers in the middle of the season will cause more unnecessary problems......

……

Because Ranieri was very confident about winning the game against Vicenza before the game, Ronaldo, Djokaeffe, Rui Costa and other attacking players in this away game were left by Ranieri in Fiorentina, and as a result, the players sitting on the Fiorentina bench at this time were all a group of young players and rotation players who were temporarily transferred from the youth team - 20-year-old Tomasi, 18-year-old Zanetti, 30-year-old Cripa - these people did not directly help Fiorentina to launch a counter-attack.

And Robert Baggio and Barty, Inzaghi obviously has not formed a tacit understanding, this period of Baggio is a typical nine and a half forward, on the field he is more focused on scoring than organizing the attack, plus the lead after Vicenza made Fiorentina's front trident not play its due power, making the score behind Fiorentina on the pitch more and more difficult.

On the other side, Vicenza is getting more and more courageous, and the midfielders composed of Ambrosini, Zauri and Di Carlo have built a great wall of steel in front of their own gate with unremitting running, blocking Fiorentina's counterattack outside their goal line.

In the end, it was Ambrosini's only goal in the first half that Fiorentina suffered their first league defeat of the season after a 0-1 defeat on the road.
