On January 18, in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia, Fiorentina won the game at the Stadio Ferraris thanks to a sneak attack by Roberto Baggio at the beginning of the game, winning the game with a score of 1-0, leading the aggregate score and successfully scoring an away goal;

On January 21, in the eighteenth round of Serie A, although Batistuta, the top scorer of the Fiorentina team, was not included in the squad for the game due to a minor injury, the purple lily still won 3-0 away from home with Inzaghi's brace and Vieri's header Torino.

On January 25, Fiorentina ushered in the second leg of the Coppa Italia with Sampdoria at home, although the purple lily only led 1-0 in the aggregate score, no one dared to pack a ticket to say that Sampdoria would not go crazy in this game like Juventus in the thirteenth round of Serie A and also gave the Fiorentinas a defeat, but Ranieri still rotated most of the main players very boldly in this game, and even the starting goalkeeper was replaced by Guadalben, who has rarely had the opportunity to play.

As a result, the bench and rotation team were on par with the All-Man Aquars at the Stadio Frankie, and although the long-lost Guadalben had been breached by Chiesa and his former team-mate Montella, goals from Vieri and Baggio equalised Fiorentina twice.

Twice leading and being equalized twice by the opponent, Sampdoria's players can't help but start to feel impetuous, the Sea Blues who experienced a major change last summer are no longer the passionate and experienced "Golden Samp", the current team captain Mancini has prestige and ability, but Mancho, who is impatient and does not handle the relationship with his teammates, is obviously not a team leader.

Seeing that the remaining time of the game is getting less and less, Sampdoria's players can't help but be a little anxious, after all, there is no European task this season, their schedule can be said to be quite relaxed, basically a weekly rhythm, the club also invested heavily in the summer to build the Chiesa-Montella-Mancini-Seedorf attacking combination, intending to take advantage of the decline of the former league hegemony AC Milan and the relatively relaxed schedule of these favorable conditions to re-emerge.

However, Sampdoria's performance this season has disappointed Sampdoria fans, and despite having one of the best attacking lines in Europe, Sampdoria have not been able to match their own quality - after 18 league games, they have only 22 points and are in eighth place, while leaders Fiorentina have exactly twice as many points, which has made Samp out of the race for the league title early.

In this case, the Coppa Italia title naturally became the only honour that Sampdoria could hope for this season.

However, in the first leg of the competition, Sampdoria, who was playing at home, was defeated 0-1, and this result forced Sampdoria, who intended to dominate the cup, to a dead end!

Therefore, in today's second leg, Sampdoria's players will not work hard, almost every goal must be fought, but when they find that their hard-earned lead has been equalized twice by the Fiorentina team in front of them, the gap in their hearts can be imagined.

This psychological gap has greatly damaged the morale of Samp's players, and naturally made the visitors more anxious to regain the lead. But as the saying goes: if you want to hurry, you can't get there. The imbalance of mentality made these young Samp players completely abandon their proper tactical play in the first ten minutes of the game, and just blindly relied on their individual ability to attack the door of Fiorentina, and the result was naturally in vain in the face of the Purple Lily's orderly and tight defense.

Before the end of the game, Sampdoria's Dutch midfielder Seedorf picked up his right foot from 30 meters from the goal and fired a long-range shot, but the ball flew off the bottom line against the crossbar. This means that the "Fiorentina II team" finally drew 2-2 with Sampdoria at the Stadio Franqui, and advanced to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia with an aggregate score of 3-2.

Fiorentina manager Claudio Ranieri was taken by surprise, and he had planned to lose the game in order to give his team more rest in the intensive schedule in April this year, but he did not expect these players to take Samp with the main team.

It seems that it is necessary to give these bench players more playing time, maybe they can bring more surprises to themselves, Ranieri thought happily in his heart, after all, as a manager, he naturally hopes that he has as many good players as possible.

On the other hand, Sampdoria boss Enrique Mantovani is said to have left the VIP box at the Stade Frankie with a blushing face after watching the game, and it looks like the arrogant little Mantovani is going to have another major surgery on his team this summer......

On January 28, Fiorentina ushered in the 19th round of Serie A, this time against Vicenza, who gave the Purple Lilies their first defeat of the season.

This time, Ranieri, who is no longer proud of his opponent, did not hesitate to put forward the lineup that he studied that could best restrain Vicenza's tactics: goalkeeper Toldo, Nesta and Ferrara partnered in central defence, and on the left and right were the energetic Lanna and Zambrotta, the main reason for not sending Fortunato was that the tinkerer was worried that the former hopeful star did not have enough physical strength to deal with Vicenza's onslaught on the right side, while the starting right-back Bilindelli unfortunately missed the game due to the accumulation of four yellow cards;

In midfield, Ranieri arranged for Di Biagio and Davies to protect his own defensive line in response to Vicenza's frequent involvement in attack, Rui Costa appeared in the starting lineup as the team's playmaker and attacking initiator, and German Effenberg was forced to rest for a week because of the yellow light in the physiotherapy center.

Djokaeff and Roberto Baggio are the executors of the team's attack, both of whom have excellent jishu and dribbling ability, can feed the front Batistuta and can also solve the battle themselves, and such attacking players are undoubtedly the most troublesome type of attack in the Vicenza backline.

In the face of such a Florentina that is no longer underestimated, will Vicenza led by Guidolin still be able to continue to create miracles?
