Although the loss to Juventus at home did not shrink Fiorentina's lead in the standings much, the Purple Lily, which has achieved 19 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the 22nd round of Serie A, is still a full eleven points ahead of the second place Juventus (14 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses), but in the eyes of many interested people, Juventus's victory can be said to be significant, because this game fully exposed the Purple Lily's current fate, that is, several of their organizers are generally lacking in confrontation ability!

As Fiorentina's midfield duo in the nineties of the last century, Effenberg and Redondo not only have superhuman overall vision and organizational skills, but also the top midfielders of that generation in terms of hardware conditions, and will never suffer in terms of physical confrontation. And now? Among Fiorentina's playmakers, Andrea Pirlo and Albertini are both very average in fitness, and once they are caught in the trap by the opposition, they can only rely on their own skills or speed up the ball to get rid of the defense; Deco has good physical fitness, but due to his own talent, the Brazilian is not destined to be a top-level playmaker like Redondo. So, in general, Fiorentina is now the only player in the team who has the ability to do both technique and physicality, and can perform all kinds of technical maneuvers under the harassment of opposing defenders.

This means that when Fiorentina face a midfield like Juventus, which is made up entirely of players with great running ability and physical fitness, the weaknesses of Andrea Pirlo and Albertini, a combination that excels in skill and awareness but are not dominant in terms of physical fitness, are infinitely magnified. Although Andrea Pirlo and Albertini have the option to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses and rely on their technical superiority to get rid of the opposition's defence, they are still somewhat inadequately compared to Effenberg and Redondo.

It is for this reason that Heynckes will not usually play Pirlo and Albertini at the same time against teams that are fierce enough in midfield, or to distract the opposition by strengthening the threat in other positions, so as to avoid such a situation. This time, the reason why Pirlo was bullied by Juventus was more because of Vieri's sudden malaise in the second half, which led to Davies and Tacinadi being able to confidently and boldly step forward to intercept Pirlo and them, and did not have to stay in their own half to assist Montero in defending Vieri.

Although the existence of Fiorentina's midfield was discovered through this game, it was not easy to seize this point and kill the purple lily. After all, it's not easy to put together a midfielder like Juventus who has a perverted midfield coverage and excellent defensive skills. If it is self-defeating, it will be a lot of fun, and there is no shortage of unlucky people who draw tigers and can't become anti-dogs in this international football world.

Borussia Dortmund coach Summer, who thinks he has found the goal of Fiorentina, sent a midfield combination of Olissech, Reut, Sebastian Kehl and Rosicky in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek, intending to emulate the Bianconeri's strategy of reversing the victory over Fiorentina and winning at the Westphalen Stadium to give the team a slight advantage on the way to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!

Judging purely from the cards, Dortmund's starting midfielder is not inferior to Juventus' muscular midfield, but the result? Known as Nigeria's version of Davies, Oliseh was fooled by Pirlo with his skillful foot skills in the game, and Reut and Kyle were too young to put enough pressure on Fiorentina's midfield like Nedved and Camoranesi, and although Rosicky has the reputation of "Mozart on the pitch", it can be seen from this nickname that the Czech genius is not a player who is happy to defend.

The most important thing is that after a nightmare forty-five minutes against Juventus, Vieri regained his scoring touch with Borussia Dortmund, coupled with the fire support of the likes of Pirlo and Ballack in the midfield, as well as the sharp flanks of Carlos and Giuli, Fiorentina only needed one first half to kill the suspense of the game!

As a result, Dortmund, who tried to imitate Juventus but did not learn its essence, was unsurprisingly beaten by Fiorentina in this game. Vieri single-handedly turned the Hornets penalty area upside down and proved with a hat-trick that the last game's malaise was a mere accident; Pirlo, who was besieged quite miserably by Juventus's fierce midfield, also performed well in this game, and Dortmund had no way to prevent each other with the strength of Keel and Olisseh, so they could only watch the top midfielder who had broken out of the name of "Da Vinci in the stadium" send scalpel-like passes on the field again and again; Ballack, who returned to his hometown in Germany, also had a good performance, and the current number one star in German football not only effectively sorted out Fiorentina's midfield with Pirlo, but also scored a world-class long-range shot in injury time in the second half, which made Dortmund goalkeeper Lehmann frustrated to scoop the ball out of the goal for the fourth time!

In the end, Fiorentina, who visited the Westphalian Stadium, defeated Dortmund 4-1 in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, and one foot has crossed the threshold of the Champions League quarterfinals!

The news of Fiorentina's big win over Borussia Dortmund away from home in Germany was quite effective in deterring many teams who were plotting against the Purple Lily, and these managers looked at their possessions, and then looked at the players of Juventus and Dortmund, and decided that it would be better to find another way out - after all, after Dortmund stood up and showed up with practical actions, most self-aware teams realized that without a strong foundation, trying to emulate the Bianconeri is simply killing themselves!

In this way, in the 23rd round of Serie A at the weekend, Fiorentina, who returned from Germany, relied on Deco's solid midfield organization and Inzaghi's hat-trick to defeat Piacenza Piacenza who are deep in the relegation zone by three goals, and continued to maintain the lead of as many as eleven points with Juventus!
