After being forced to draw by Roma away, Fiorentina, who only got one point in the sixteenth round of Serie A, still leads the Serie A standings with 12 wins, two draws and two losses with 38 points, and AC Milan, which defeated the Sea Blue Army 3-0 in this round, narrowed the points gap again, ranking second with 9 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses and 32 points.

As for the teams from then on, there is no need to go into details, because with 18 rounds of the league remaining, these teams have already been opened up by Fiorentina by at least 10 points. In this case, if Fiorentina had not suffered a massive collapse in the second half of the league, these teams could have basically said goodbye to the race for the league title this season.

With the draw held to a draw by Roma in the last game, Fiorentina have narrowed the gap to second place to six points, and a narrowing of the lead means more variables, something that Fiorentina players looking to defend their league title do not want.

As a result, the Fiorentina players vented all their frustration at the draw by Roma in the last game to their opponent Piacenza in this round of the league.

Since this game is Fiorentina's first home stadium after the winter break, before the start of the game, Fiorentina specially arranged a brief ceremony, Batistuta personally held the European Ballon d'Or trophy to the sidelines to show the Fiorentina fans, and the fans at the scene also used warm applause to congratulate the Argentine superstar who did not leave the team when the team was relegated.

……

As a team with the goal of relegation, Piacenza naturally has no confidence or energy to fight with the league leaders, in their opinion, the effect of this is not as good as preparing for a big battle with several relegation opponents, after all, winning a few games with a few direct competitors is worth six points, so their team has a greater hope of relegation at the end of the season. In addition, Fiorentina's excellent record in the league this season has indeed made Piacenza players fearful, believing that the Purple Lily, who have lost only two games so far, is not an opponent that they can overturn.

Some people may mention that Fiorentina lost to Vicenza in the second round of the league, but the situation is a little different from that time, that is, the mentality of the players is different, when the Purple Lily, who had just experienced a big win in the first round, inevitably had a sense of pride and contempt for the promoted Vicenza team; The match with Piacenza comes after Fiorentina had just picked up a draw in the city of Rome, and the Fiorentina players, who were very unhappy with the result, were ready to trade their luck with a big win.

Of course, the most important thing is that Piacenza does not have a resourceful manager and a team of players who can wrestle with the best teams in Serie A.

Therefore, the intention of the whole Piacenza team to come to the Frankie Stadium this time is to concede as few goals as possible, and it would be perfect if they could hold a draw and get a point.

The wish is beautiful haode, but the result is cruel. Facing a group of Fiorentina players ready to pour fire on them, Piacenza's seemingly tight defensive formation lasted only ten minutes before the Fiorentinas shredded it.

In the 11th minute, Batistuta received a pass from Effenberg and turned directly from the goal to hit the goal, and the ball grazed the right post of the goal and flew into the net, 1-0;

Just four minutes after the first goal, Fiorentina made a comeback, Djokav Effenberg passed diagonally to Lanna, Lanna advanced the ball more than ten meters before passing the ball back to Djokaef in the middle, the Frenchman sent a through ball without stopping, Inzaghi suddenly started from behind the defender in Piacenza to receive the pass. Seeing this, the Piacenza defenders, who had just turned around, quickly raised their arms to signal that Inzaghi was offside, but the sharp-eyed linesman ignored them.

Inzaghi, who got a chance to score a single goal, naturally did not waste this good opportunity, and without waiting for the opponent's goalkeeper to abandon the goal, he shot directly with his feet, the ball slipped past the right hand side of the Piacenza goalkeeper, crossed the goal line, and Fiorentina extended the score, 2-0;

Ten minutes after Fiorentina had scored the second goal, Effenberg drove the ball down the middle and was brought to the ground by a Piacenza player, and the referee awarded Fiorentina a direct free-kick from 25 yards to give the home side another good chance to score.

Fiorentina have a lot of players who have the ability to hit the goal directly from this distance, such as Effenberg, Djokaef and so on...... After some discussion, it was the captain Batistuta who finally won the right to take the free kick, and the Argentine god of war also lived up to his expectations and expanded the score to 3-0 again with a burst shot;

Just 25 minutes after the opening whistle were scored three goals in a row by the home team, Piacenza players were stunned, they did not expect Fiorentina to attack so frantically in this game, and without a trace of mercy.

Before they could recover from a flurry of goals, Djokaeff netted Fiorentina's fourth goal of the game in the 33rd minute when the Frenchman latched on to a pass from Effenberg at the penalty spot and fired home with a powerful finish.

Piacenza was four goals behind and completely lost hope of an equaliser, and seeing the dejected expressions of his players, the visiting coach had no choice but to surrender, and just like that, even the forty-five minutes of the first half were not completely over, and Fiorentina had actually won the game.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was fixed at 7-0 on the big screen at the Frankie Stadium, and substitute Robert Baggio scored twice in the second half. Vieri also came on in for Barty in the 60th minute and scored his third league goal of the season in stoppage time.

After the game, many Italian sports media expressed praise for Fiorentina's big victory, after all, this kind of big score game can attract the attention of many neutral fans and reporters, and the field is much better than a 1-0 game.

While there's nothing wrong with Italian teams generally focusing on defense and tactics, it's not wrong to take care of the emotions of the fans, right? After all, the football industry is still supported by fan groups, and without the audience and ratings, how many people will invest in playing football?

However, what no one expected was that this big victory was actually just a prelude to Florence's winter rush.
