Seven goals slaughtered Milan, with Bayern Munich won one and drew one, and drew with Parma and Inter Milan successively...... Two wins and three draws, this is what Fiorentina have achieved after the end of the devil's schedule.

After the draw with Inter Milan, Fiorentina is still firmly at the top of the table with seven wins, two draws and 23 points, followed by the Nerazzurri with a five-point deficit; Juventus and AC Milan met in the last round of fixtures, and the two teams drew and showed no signs of closing the huge points gap with Fiorentina; Carlo Ancelotti was still finding his groove in his first charge of a strong team, but Gianluigi Buffon's emergence and Chiesa's excellent form have solved his problems and allowed Parma to maintain a decent position in the table.

"Overall, the team's results during this period are not bad, although there are a little more draws, but there are also a lot of draws for other giants during this time, and there are even a few defeats, so Fiorentina has not been caught up by the teams behind in the standings because of these draws." Zhuang Mingge looked at the team's latest record statistics and said with satisfaction.

It's only 1996, the influence of the Boseman Act has not yet fully penetrated into all corners of the European Union, although the gap between the rich and the poor within the league has shown a trend of intensifying, but in general, the clubs are still in a stage of transformation, and the bench depth of the giants has not yet reached the point of being so terrifying in later generations.

"Fiorentina, who won last season's European Cup, will travel to Japan for the Toyota Cup at the beginning of December, and before that, Fiorentina have a Champions League group stage and a league game, if they can win both games," he said.

Although he hopes that the team can win all the matches in the next week, Zhuang Mingge is not stupid enough to give Capello any task in person, he still knows how many pounds and taels he has, as a time-traveler who knows 3,000 years before and 20 years later, his biggest role is to bring more excellent players to Fiorentina, instead of pretending to be professional to interfere with the manager's line-up there.

The most important thing is that Zhuang Mingge believes that Capello has the professionalism of a head coach, and the gold medal coach should know what games are worthy of Fiorentina to win and what kind of games need to be given up strategically.

After the match against Inter Milan, Fiorentina returned to their hometown for a week before preparing for the 10th round match against Piacenza at home.

Capello is clearly taking the Champions League three days from now, as the team's vice-captains Batistuta and Effenberg, as well as Argentina's Prince Redondo, are not included in the eighteen-man squad for the match against Piacenza. Fabio Capello deliberately let them recuperate this weekend in order to play away to Gothenburg in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage.

In the league match against Piacenza, Capello fielded a more balanced line-up in attack and defence, with Vieri coming forward alone, behind the opportunist Philippe Inzaghi, and Danish winger Glenschal who had the trust of Capello and who was given a chance to start and use his sharp breakthrough to create more chances for Vieri in the middle.

In midfield, Capello sent Tomasi and Zanetti to form a double midfield, Portuguese Rui Costa; At the back, Fortunato, Ferrara, Nesta and Billindeli are a combination of Fortunato, Ferrara, Nesta and Billindley – one of the reasons why Weishenme Glenschal can get a starting place - as the two starting wing-backs are significantly less effective in providing assists than Carlos and Zambrotta.

The final score was 2-0, and Vieri continued his excellent form, first receiving a cross from Glenschal in the 11th minute of the first half and scoring the goal with a powerful header flick against Piacenza; He then carried the close defense of the opposing two defenders in the second half to receive a through ball from Costa, and then set up his good friend Inzaghi to score.

Fiorentina took all three points at the Stadio Franqui to end an embarrassing run of two straight league draws.

If it was just to win Piacenza, it wouldn't make Zhuang Mingge too happy, after all, Piacenza has always appeared in front of everyone as a relegation team, and it's strange if he can't take it. However, there was another event that soon made Zhuang Mingge's happiness go up a notch - while the team won at home, Fiorentina's other title rivals almost all suffered draws!

The Milan derby ended 0-0 in this round, and the Rossoneri did not let their local rivals return home without a win in four consecutive rounds; Parma drew with Roma at the Tardini Stadium and were also narrowed by Fiorentina; Only the Bianconeri beat Udinese 4-1 at the Friuli Stadium to maintain the gap between them and the leaders.

Hawkers, although this point difference is a bit too big no matter how you look at it......

Soon, Capello took the entire Fiorentina team north to Sweden to prepare for the fifth round of the Champions League group stage.

Fiorentina and Gothenburg had previously met in the second round, and this time the Purple Lily's players used their jishu advantage at home to stun the Swedes, with Zuihou settled the battle through Inzaghi.

This time Fiorentina also wanted to repeat their old skills on the road, but they did not expect that they would not come at the right time, Sweden at the end of November has entered the winter, and the cold and hard field brought by the cold make Fiorentina accustomed to the warm climate of the Mediterranean very uncomfortable.

Although Capello fielded most of his main players in this game, including Barty and Effenberg, the Gothenburg players who returned to their home stadium found their form this time, and they had home advantage with their strong bodies and ferocious interceptions to make it difficult for Fiorentina's players to attack.

The referee of this game is from Russia, and this guy seems to be used to seeing the physical collision between the players, so the whistle is inevitably a little loose, and the Swede's unreasonable rampage rarely blows penalties. As a result, Fiorentina's backline was shattered by the onslaught of Gothenburg players.

Had it not been for Toldo's prowess and Stam being physically strong, Fiorentina would have had to be led by three goals by the Swedes before half-time......

In the end, Fiorentina were held to a draw away from Gothenburg and unfortunately only picked up one point.

However, Fiorentina's players were not frustrated as their main rivals Bayern Munich were also held to a draw away from Rangers, and Gascoigne played at superstar level in this game, blasting a shijie wave from a goal down for the home side to put Bayern's upcoming trilogy up for naught.

Thanks to the help of the Rangers players, Fiorentina finally secured the top spot in Group B one round early and got a ticket to the Champions League rematch!
