With Andrea Pirlo and Andriy Shevchenko closely matched over the past year, the debate between Fiorentina and AC Milan fans over who is more deserving of the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year is likely to continue for some time to come.

As the organizers of the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, France Football magazine and FIFA are naturally happy to see it happen. After all, unless the winner really can't compare to his competitors in terms of hardware, this kind of debate among fans about the results will not do much damage to the authority of the selection, but will greatly enhance the influence and attention of these two selections in the fan base.

Since it is reasonable for both Pirlo and Shevchenko to win the award, it is natural that France Football and FIFA will not stop or obstruct these comments from fans, but will secretly add fuel to the controversy and attract more attention to these two selections.

Although the fans are arguing about the results, at the club level, neither Fiorentina nor AC Milan have the idea or intention to get involved in this debate. In their opinion, with this kind of bickering, it is better to negotiate a few more commercial sponsorship contracts, or find a way to develop more fans, sell more jerseys and peripheral products.

For professional football clubs, the argument that not bringing even a dollar in revenue is of little interest to them. The same can be said for AC Milan and Fiorentina, where the debate is enough to involve the players and fans, and they would rather have a celebration for the award-winning Sheva and Andrea Pirlo than to blame the results, and strengthen the players' sense of belonging to the club.

After New Year's Day, the Fiorentina players, who had returned from the Christmas break, returned to intense training under the supervision of the coaching staff. While Fiorentina are in good form on all fronts, they don't want to be left to frustrate on the same issue twice in a row after a lack of performance in the final stages of last season, having to go back in the Champions League.

Therefore, even though the current situation of the team is very good and there is a good hope of repeating the great feat of the treble of the year, the Fiorentina players did not show the slightest slack in training, but practiced various tactics more seriously. In particular, Mourinho's latest offensive system, which greatly increases the frequency of cross-switching of frontcourt players, has spent a lot of energy and time on drills and run-ins. Because they know that once this set of tactics is honed, then Fiorentina will have a qualitative leap in strength, and it will be easier to score goals in the game!

What's more, although Fiorentina has played a triumphant song in Serie A, so far in this season's Serie A only two games without a win (17 games, 15 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss), the results are a mess, but Juventus, who are in second place in the standings, has not shown signs of falling behind because of this strong performance of the purple lily.

The Bianconeri have only lost two league games so far, and are only one point away from second place in the standings! So, for Fiorentina right now, the situation is far from good enough for them to let their guard down. Or rather, the players are not going to relax until the Serie A trophy is secured. Because they know very well in their hearts that as long as they slow down the speed of grabbing points, Juventus, who have been eyeing behind them, will definitely rush out and take away the top position they have so hard to get!

As a result, with the joint efforts of the players and coaching staff, Fiorentina continued their good form before the winter break in the January game, successively slashing four teams including Regina, Chievo, Messina and Udinese, only to be beaten by Zeman with a stormy attack in the 20th round of the league away to Sampdoria, and suffered the second defeat since the start of this season's Serie A.

For this defeat to Sampdoria, Mourinho can only express regret. Although in this game, the performance of the Fiorentina players can be said to be quite good, Ronaldo, Milito and Ballack have all scored, and Nesta and others have not slacked off in defense, but the purple lily is unlucky, they met a Sampdoria team in full form on this day!

The Fiorentina players did their best in this game, desperately trying to intercept the offensive of the Sea Blues, but the Samp players didn't know what medicine they had taken wrong today, and the attack was called a smooth game, many times it was a quick pass between several Samp players, and the ball was passed into the penalty area before the Fiorentina players set up the defensive line, and then Falcao who was ambushed in the penalty area completed the shot!

In the end, Colombian center Falcao scored a hat-trick with an overhead kick, Veron assisted Skrtel's header from a free kick, and relying on these four goals, the Aprano defeated Fiorentina in a thrilling victory at the Ferraris Stadium and won the goal shootout!

Although Fiorentina were unfortunate to be unable to maintain their winning streak and drop points against Sampdoria, Juventus did not take the opportunity to complete their comeback at the top of the table - the Bianconeri won four and drew one of their five league games in January, only drawing with Chievo in the 20th round of Serie A.

However, the Bianconeri have picked up one more point than Fiorentina during this period. Therefore, when the league season in January was over, people were surprised to find that Juventus and Fiorentina were tied in the table, and only because of the disadvantage in goals and goal difference were squeezed into second place by the Purple Lily.

It can be seen that Fiorentina will need to work harder if they want to get rid of Juventus in terms of points and secure their dominant position in the league before the Champions League resumes.

However, with the resilience that Juventus has shown this season, it may not be easy for Fiorentina to achieve this goal.
