PS2: I would like to thank the book friend "zzllss" for the tip.

Falling behind 0-2 in less than 20 minutes of the opening game undoubtedly gave the confident Fiorentina players a blow to the head!

Effenberg looked at Toldo who was standing in front of the goal in a daze, although he expected that some people would drop the chain in this rhythm of two games a week, but he didn't expect that this time it would be Toldo!

Is it because I have won too many championship honors over the years and feel that I have no pursuit, so I began to unconsciously relax my requirements for myself? Effenberg thought unhappily in his heart, he didn't expect Toldo, the old man of the team, to make such a low-level mistake.

It's not for nothing that Effenberg thinks so, you know, although Toldo is a form goalkeeper, it doesn't mean that he is a big colander when he feels bad, and he can still save the ball that should be saved, but those unexpected or straight shots don't expect him to step up. It is precisely for this reason that the German Tiger suspects that Toldo's consecutive mistakes have little to do with his poor form at all - what championship-level goalkeeper have you ever seen who can throw the ball directly under the feet of the opposing player when throwing the ball?!

It seems that when the season is over, it will be time to talk to Toldo, Effenberg thought to himself.

Faced with the unfavorable situation of falling behind by two goals in the early stages, although Vieri and Da Inzaghi tried to turn the tide in the following time and help the Purple Lilies save the defeat, but the midweek match with Real Madrid consumed too much energy from the Fiorentina players, and Toldo dug too big a hole for the team before, the in-form goalkeeper conceded another goal in the 41st minute of the first half, and almost ended the suspense of the game early.

The most important thing is that although Lippi has a poor relationship with many players, and has not been able to change the status quo of Inter Milan's offense relying too much on the individual performance of players, it has to be said that the Silver Fox is still very capable of adjusting * training the defense, at least the defensive system he spent a season to build proved to be worth the money in this game, and every attack launched by Fiorentina players takes a lot of effort to attack the goal of Inter Milan, no longer like in previous seasons. It was always the Purple Lily that easily tore through their defense to complete the offense.

"Tsk, it's the style of a traditional Italian coach." Zhuang Mingge looked at Inter Milan who had set up an iron bucket formation on the field, and pouted with some disdain, "The idea of increasing the number of people who praise the defense and the amount of running to enhance the strength of the defense is indeed correct, but it is a big mistake to sacrifice the team's offensive ability for this, especially a giant club like Inter Milan, how many teams will face it?" It seems that it is not for nothing that Lippi has been so disappointing this season. ”

Hearing Zhuang Mingge's complaint, Karin and Little Groz, who were sitting on the side, couldn't help but smile. They understand that Zhuang Mingge's words are quite reasonable, if the leading side on the field is Fiorentina, then he probably will wish Inter Milan would have stayed until the end of the game.

This is the so-called difference in stance and viewpoint.

In the end, it wasn't until the final whistle blew that Fiorentina couldn't complete the comeback. All they did was a 3-3 draw, with Vieri, Inzaghi and substitute Shevchenko scoring a goal each to take away a draw and a point from the Meazza Stadium!

Heynckes and his players were not at all happy with the result, as Lazio had lost and won in the other Serie A match that had ended earlier. Faced with the unfavorable situation of conceding two goals first, the Blue Eagles players set off a Jedi counterattack under the leadership of the two midfielders Nedved and Veron, first the Czech used a long-range shot to blast away Pagliuca's ten fingers to pull one back, and then Veron assisted Inzaghi Jr.'s header with a free kick to tie the score at 2-2!

Just when it was thought the game would end in a draw, Nedved's long-range shot in stoppage time caused Pagliuca to save the ball, and substitute Cruise cleverly picked up a leak in front of goal to shoot the ball into the empty net, 3-2!

With this hard-earned victory, with only one round of the 1999-2000 Serie A season remaining, Lazio managed to close the gap between it and leaders Fiorentina to three points under the watchful eyes of the fans and the media in disbelief!

Due to the tenacious style of the Lazio players, as well as Fiorentina's frequent gift-giving in the sprint stage, the battle for the Serie A title this season has taken on a rare and extremely competitive shape!

The league has yet to decide the winner in the final round, which has not happened in Serie A for nearly a decade! And such a scene naturally makes many Serie A fans feel excited. The most significant change was when the Italian Football Federation was counting the ratings, and the officials of the Football Association were surprised to find that the TV ratings of the matches related to Lazio and Fiorentina were more than 50% higher than the same period in history!

It's no surprise that fans are so excited, considering that throughout the nineties, Italian football was almost entirely shrouded in the shadow of two teams: AC Milan and Fiorentina. During this time, Fabio Capello led the Rossoneri to complete three consecutive Serie A titles, and then the strong rise of the Purple Lily equaled Juventus's record of five consecutive league titles!

Although these two teams have attracted countless fans for Serie A with their brilliant records, it is precisely because of the division of the league title between these two clubs in the past decade, as well as their seemingly unshakable dominance in the domestic league and the fact that they have repeatedly left other rivals in the standings a large distance, that many fans feel that the ownership of the Serie A title has lost its suspense, making Serie A lose many fans invisibly.

So, when fans find out that the suspense of this season's league title has been held up to the final round, how can they not be so interested and concerned about it?

While Fiorentina only need a draw in the final round will ensure they lift the league title for the sixth time in a row, football is round after all, and who would dare to say that the Purple Lilies will be able to take all three points against Bari?

If Fiorentina loses unexpectedly to Bari and Lazio knocks out Reggina in a smooth way, won't the Blue Eagles win this season's Serie A title?
