After a hard-fought win away at Udinese, the Fiorentina players finally said goodbye to a week of double matches and ushered in a week-long break before they host the fifth round of Serie A fixtures until next weekend.

Although the professionalism of the Fiorentina players is guaranteed, and playing at a top club like Fiorentina requires learning to adapt to the intensity of the game, after all, no player will like to enjoy the days of two games a week, especially the two consecutive visitors who made thousands of kilometers round trip in three days like last week, which caused considerable physical and psychological pressure on the players.

Therefore, when Heynckes announced in the dressing room that he would have a day off tomorrow after the game against Udinese, almost all the players breathed a sigh of relief - although the players had been physically prepared during the summer training camp, the intensity of the confrontation and the intensity of the game gave the players the illusion that they were still in good physical condition and misjudged that they had no extra energy to continue playing for the team.

Therefore, Heynckes' decision to give the players a collective holiday this time can be said to be quite appropriate, because this can effectively allow the players to release their psychological pressure and mental baggage, so as to meet the following games with a fuller mental state!

On October 3, the fifth round of Serie A matches started as scheduled, and Fiorentina faced Roma Red Wolves led by Francisco Totti in this round.

Insert a sentence here, because Zhuang Mingge's crossing changed the overall pattern of Italian football, so that Juventus did not use illegal drugs for players as in the original history, so the Czech Zeman did not charge Juventus players with illegal drugs last year, so the current first-team coach of Roma is still this attacking maniac from the Czech Republic.

It's just that although Zeman brought gorgeous offensive football to Roma, which was loved by many Red Wolves fans and supported by Totti and other key players in the team, Franco Sensi, who aspires to the league championship, like his arch-rival and Lazio owner Craniotti, began to be dissatisfied with the Czech coach's extreme offensive and defensive tactical play, believing that the limit of Zeman's ability is to make Roma a spoiler and unable to lead the team to further win the championship.

Getting back to the point, what old Sensi wants to do with Zeman is not something to discuss now, and the conversation comes back to the showdown between Fiorentina and Roma.

After a detailed look at the Czechs' tactical play, Heynckes decisively presented a four-five-one formation in this game, and his combat intentions were simply clear.

Toldo, Zambrotta, Nesta, Stam, Carlos, Redondo, Makelele, Zanetti, Effenberg, Ljungberg and Vieri – these are Fiorentina's starting eleven for this game.

After getting the starting XI for Fiorentina, Zeman pouted disdainfully, the Czech also knew Heynckes' tactical set-up for the game. Because Heynckes and most of the opponents he has faced before basically have the same idea, which is to take advantage of the opportunities that will expose a large number of openings behind the Roma players when they press the attack, and use the defensive counter-attacking tactics that the Italians are most familiar with to turn those chances into goals, and finally complete the goal of a victory.

However, this is only one of the recognized cheats against Zeman. In fact, the defensive counterattack tactics can only theoretically restrain this attacking maniac, if anyone can really rely on this tactics to easily defeat Zeman and the team he leads, then the Czechs don't have to mix in Italy for a long time, or go back to their hometown to pick up the children.

It is precisely for this reason that Zeman, who thinks he has guessed Heynckes' thoughts, is quite disdainful of his peers, thinking that this German is really underestimating his ability.

However, just when the Czechs were about to teach Heynckes a good lesson with practical actions, the Fiorentina players unexpectedly played an amazing fighting power in the game!

In Zeman's tactical system, the midfielder's on-the-spot counter-attack is a very important link, because this can not only avoid the opponent's direct impact on their own backline, but also take advantage of the opponent's inability to immediately put into the defensive state to launch a wave of attack, thereby increasing the probability of scoring.

However, in this game, no matter how hard Di Biagio and Tomasi and others pressed in the midfield, the Fiorentina players did not show any flaws, they were always able to accurately pass the ball to the feet of Redondo and Effenberg surrounded by Roma players, and launched a quick counterattack through Guò, and then gave Vieritron Zào, who was at the front, a chance to face the Roma goal directly!

In the end, thanks to Vieri's goals in three counter-attacks, Fiorentina beat Roma 3-0 at the Stadio Franqui and won a valuable league victory!

Being able to easily get Zeman to coach Roma for more than two seasons is enough to prove that after more than a month of the league season, Heynckes has finally begun to adapt to the style of Italian football and gradually integrate his tactical ideas into Fiorentina's existing tactical system!

Some people may say that Zeman's Roma is an outlier, they do not represent Italian football, and therefore it does not show that Heynckes has adapted to Serie A, and this victory can only show that Roma is no longer Fiorentina's opponent, or that Zeman's style of play cannot bring more improvement to the Red Wolves, and it does not say more problems.

If the win over Roma alone wasn't convincing, the result was telling, when Fiorentina played at home in the sixth round of Serie A on October 17.

In this game, Parma, who played their main role, did not have the slightest advantage against Fiorentina, who had hidden the two core of Redondo and Effenberg, and they were exhausted by the young duo of Deco and Pirlo throughout the game, and finally lost the game 1-4, and the Argentine Crespo scored a face-saving goal for the Milk Army in injury time.

Fiorentina's players showed excellent tactical literacy and rigorous teamwork in this game, which became the focus of heated discussions among fans and media after the game. Although they were hiding some of their main players for the Champions Cup in midweek, it was surprising that Fiorentina were able to hold the tempo of the game and win comfortably against the mighty Parma side in such a situation.

In this way, with two consecutive victories against Roma and Parma, Heynckes, who completed the initial run-in with the team, finally let the fans and the media end the doubts about him and survived his first coaching crisis in Florence without danger!
