In the second half of the game, Capello replaced Di Canio and Elaño respectively, replacing Massaro and Donadoni who could not run, trying to find opportunities to equalize and overtake the score, but AC Milan's passive situation on the field still did not improve.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for Milan players to press the attack, Fiorentina's players calmly organized the defense under the command of midfielder Effenberg, and at the same time looked for opportunities to launch counter-attacks.

The Milan players finally made a fatal mistake after a long period of attack, and in the 78th minute of the game, Albertini's pass was broken, and Effenberg played a through pass to Djokaeff to launch a counter-attack.

Djokaeff immediately sprinted down the left side of the pitch and when he sprinted to the line of the penalty area, he made a decisive cross, and his cross found Batistuta who was speeding up. The returning Costacuta recklessly knocked down Batistuta from behind in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty and showed a red card to the foul Costa Curta, but it was a pity that Barty's penalty was too strong and the ball went straight over the crossbar.

After Costacuta was sent off, AC Milan, who had one man less, became more passive, and Milan coach Fabio Capello replaced the main scorer Marco Simeone with veteran Filipe Galli, announcing that he had abandoned the game in disguise.

Ranieri also understood Capello's substitution, and immediately replaced Batistuta, who had just returned to the team and had not fully recovered his physical strength, and two other foreign aids, and the players on both sides also maintained the score of 1-0 until the final whistle.

In the end, Fiorentina managed to take all three points at the San Siro.

Some people may ask if Weishenme Capello wants to give up this game instead of trying to fight for it again, but there is a reason for this:

First of all, AC Milan at that time had one less player on the field, and wanting to equalize meant exerting more physical strength, while most of the Milan players were internationals of various national teams, and their physical reserves were much worse;

Secondly, unlike the knockout round, the league schedule is very long, for Capello, who gave up the title competition and devoted himself to preparing for the team's rebuild, a game of gains and losses is nothing, not to mention that the Serie A league is only halfway through, and there are still seventeen rounds to end, and the loss of these three points is within the range that Capello can afford.

In another match at the same time, Juventus, who were at the top of the pre-match standings, was unexpectedly scored three goals in a row by the home team Cagliari in Sardinia, and ended in a miserable defeat.

In fact, it's no wonder that Lippi, who made the six main players in the Juventus team, including Vialli and Baggio, unable to play for various reasons before this game, at this time the so-called "giant" team was limited by the number of foreign aids, so that the depth of their first team's bench was far less than that of later generations.

In this way, Fiorentina successfully overtook the Bianconeri in the standings with the victory of this game, and successfully returned to the top of the league with a narrow advantage of one point!

Fiorentina fans were ecstatic with the result, and now they are backing a team that has finally overtaken Juventus once again and is one step closer to winning the league title!

And this result also reminds the older generation of Fiorentina fans of the 1968-69 season when Fiorentina last won the Serie A title, and although there are now a full seventeen rounds to go until the end of the season, who would dare to say that Fiorentina will not be able to win the Serie A trophy again at the end of the season?

At this time, Zhuang Mingge knew that the team had to stay calm, because he knew very well that the more in the second half of the season, the more difficult the game would be, because the goals set by the team this season had basically begun to be clear, and it was obviously unnecessary to start blindly optimistic at this time.

What's more, the fluctuating form of these young players of Fiorentina has not been fundamentally solved, in the absence of Barty, Inzaghi, Montella's young forwards can not bring stable goals to the team, good form can see who kills whom, bad form may be invisible on the field for 90 minutes.

Moreover, although Fiorentina won the last game steadily, the mood of the Fiorentina players in the game was obviously not excited compared to the beginning of the season, and the next Fiorentina did not meet the relegation team in the league, the opponent will obviously fight with their own team in order to succeed in relegation, so it is not time to laugh.

In this regard, Zhuang Mingge personally went to talk to head coach Ranieri and asked him to pay attention to the atmosphere in the team and not let excessive optimism spread among the team.

A week later, in the eighteenth round of Serie A, Zhuang Mingge began to feel that he had the same "crow's mouth" magic skill as Pele.

Cagliari, who won against Juventus in their last game, continued to sit in Sardinia, playing at home in the game they bit Fiorentina twice, this team that performed very poorly in the first half of the season began to bounce back in the second half of the season, knowing that they had been winless for six consecutive games before beating Juventus, and were even beaten 5-0 by Sampdoria in the storm, but they were able to sweep Juventus by three goals in the last round, which proves that under the pressure of relegation, they have begun to explode - this game, Cagliari did a great job of withstanding Fiorentina's attack and snatching three points from Fiorentina thanks to two second-half goals from homegrown centre-forward Muzzi to get Fiorentina back in second place......

With the win, Cagliari are still 16th in the table, but only two points clear of their 15th-placed rivals.

Having lost their hard-earned top spot, the only thing that can reassure Fiorentina fans is that their side no longer have to worry about relegation as they did two years ago.

Zhuang Mingge, who saw the team lose this game, also had a headache at this time, although when he set the season goal in July last year, he asked the team to fight for a European place as much as possible, and the main goal was the Cup Winners' Cup, but he did not expect that after half a season, with Batistuta's successive goals, Fiorentina is only two points behind the top of the table, no matter how you look at it, there is a chance to fight for the league title.

"Forget it, it's a step if you can take one step." Zhuang Mingge can only comfort himself like this, after all, there are several gods in the physiotherapy center in charge, and the probability of large-scale injuries in Florence has been infinitely reduced by himself, whether he can win the league championship or not, it can only depend on God.

Just when Zhuang Mingge was having a headache about the team's entanglement with Juventus in the league, on the training ground of Lazio, another thing that Zhuang Mingge had talked about finally happened:

"Young central defenders murder training ground! Lazio General was seriously injured for half a year! That was the front page headline of Roma Sport the next day.

Here's what happened: Alejandro Nesta, a fledgling young centre-back, showed his fledgling calf to be fearless during a Lazio training session – in a confrontation in which the young man overturned Gascoigne with a flying tackle, breaking the Englishman's fibula and tibia.

Although Gascoigne, who was lying on a stretcher, kept insisting that "it was just an accident, not Nesta's fault", Gascoigne was the number one star loved by Lazio fans at that time, so Blue Eagle fans pointed the finger at Nesta, who was only 18 years old, and the young Italian central defender was under huge public pressure.

Although Gascoigne, who was living in the hospital, offered to clarify to Lazio fans that the foul was not Nesta's fault and called on the Blue Eagles fans to forgive the child, it had little success, and the young Nesta was ostracized in the team because of the foul.

Nesta sidelined at Lazio?

It seems that it can be used to bring unexpected surprises to Florence.

Zhuang Mingge put down the newspaper in his hand and pondered in his heart......
