Chapter 1327: The Season Is in Progress (3)

PS1: This is Wednesday's update.,It's a little late.,I hope you don't care too much about the update time.,I promise not to break the update......

PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

After the news broke that Fiorentina beat Juventus 2-1 at the Alp Stadium to end the Bianconeri's ten-game winning streak in the league, many Serie A managers breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. After all, Juventus's form this season is so terrifying that there is even a hint of the peak Fiorentina team back then. Therefore, when Juventus finally lost to Fiorentina in this round of the league, people were sure that Juventus were far from invincible, and they would lose when they met a team of Fiorentina's level.

After all, if Juventus can lose to Fiorentina once, it proves that the Bianconeri are not yet invincible. In this way, other teams will have a lot less fear against Juventus in the next game, and dare to give it a go to score points on the Bianconeri, rather than holding on to Juventus out of fear and giving Juventus three points for nothing, saving their energy to deal with teams that seem more convenient for them to pick up points.

So, in the long run, Fiorentina's win over Juventus in this head-to-head meeting can be quite significant. If they fail to win against the Bianconeri in this game or lose this contest outright, then it will be very difficult for the Purple Lilies to catch up with Juventus in the standings, because other teams are likely to see the wind and deliberately release water against the Bianconeri, thus causing more problems for Fiorentina to chase points.

Although the victory over Juventus was a huge drain on the energy and energy of the Fiorentina players, such a crucial victory also greatly boosted the morale of the Fiorentina players, allowing them to pick up their spirits and prepare for the next game when their strength and form were not fully recovered!

So, in the twelfth round of Serie A three days later, Fiorentina, who returned to the Frankie Stadium, after 90 minutes of hard fighting, relied on Inzaghi's clever goalmouth shot in the second half of stoppage time to win Livorno, and continued to go head to head with Juventus, who also scored all three points in this round of the league, in the standings!

However, the fierce confrontation between Fiorentina and Juventus on the league battlefield has not only made fans addicted, but also distressed many national team managers. Especially Italian coach Fabio Capello and French coach Domenech, these two managers were eager to call and ask Fiorentina and Juventus not to play so hard in the league, and not to really tire out the pillars of these national teams.

You know, the harder Fiorentina and Juventus fight in the league, the more difficult it will be for the players to guarantee the form of the players on the day of the national team break, and the results of the national team will also be affected by this. This is not what Capello and others want to see.

No, after Fiorentina's home win over Livorno, a new round of international breaks came as scheduled. Affected by the excessive consumption of Fiorentina and Juventus in the league field, the Italian national team, which has been smooth sailing since Capello took office, has encountered a lot of difficulties in the competition this time. If it weren't for the fact that Italy only played a friendly match during this period and did not have a World Cup qualifier arrangement, I am afraid that the Azzurri's complete victory in this World Cup qualifier would have been broken.

On this point, the new coach of the French national team, Domenech, has a lot to say. With Zidane and other veterans collectively withdrawing from the national team after the European Championship in Portugal, Domenech's cards are far less luxurious than his predecessor Santini, so when Galla, Zebina, Frei, and other players he relies on are too much to affect their form in club competitions, and he falls out with Pire and other team backbones, France's results are naturally in the cup.

Since the national team match day is mainly warm-up matches, and few national teams have been arranged to the World Cup qualifiers that need to be seriously dealt with by the players, this time the Fiorentina players have generally not suffered much wear and tear during their time for the national team, and all the players are quite healthy, and there is no problem in representing Fiorentina in the next games.

After getting the news, Mourinho's mood finally improved a little. After all, one of the things that club managers fear most is that a player is injured while playing for the national team, leaving them unavailable for the rest of the day. If it's Zinedine Zidane, Andrea Pirlo or Nesta who are injured enough to instantly move the team up a notch, then they are really going to be tragic.

On November 24, the fifth round of the Champions Cup group stage came as scheduled. Because Fiorentina won all the first four games and had already qualified for the round of 16 in advance, so in this clash with Valencia, Mourinho decisively released the water, hid all the main players, and sent a set of starting lineups dominated by Gattuso and Ribery, who were the main substitutes and young players, relying on their best defensive counterattack to beat Valencia, who was eager to score points away from home to stabilize the group standings, and made the Bat Army depressed with a score of 3 to 1.

After the victory over Valencia, Fiorentina, who won five games in the group stage of this Champions Cup, locked the top spot in the group one round ahead of schedule. In this way, Mourinho can focus more on the domestic game, to compete with Juventus, who are still very fierce in the momentum of grabbing points, and no longer have to be distracted by the European competition.

In the next two weekends, although Trapattoni's Juventus won the two strong rivals of Inter Milan and Lazio, and achieved two consecutive victories, Fiorentina, which also focused on the league, also won all three points in promoted Messina and Bologna, a mid-table team, and both won by more than three goals on goal difference, giving the Bianconeri no chance to open up the points gap!

So far, after the first 14 rounds of Serie A, Fiorentina and Juventus are tied in the standings with a record of 13 wins and 1 loss and 39 points. However, it is clear to everyone that if nothing else, this season's Serie A title is destined to be born between these two teams!

As for the other teams that were considered to be capable of competing for the title before the start of the season, such as Milan and Lazio, the hope of winning the title can be said to be quite slim now that Fiorentina and Juventus have been far behind before the halfway point of the league process.
