For Fiorentina, the fourth round of Serie A this weekend will undoubtedly be a very tough test.

The reason why I say this is because Fiorentina will face last season's Serie A runners-up and their number one rival in the domestic arena, the Bianconeri Juventus!

You know, in the past summer, Fiorentina, which has experienced the four major emptiness, has carried out a considerable renewal of the aging team lineup, not only selling Shevchenko and Ronaldo, two strikers, but also letting go of Ljungberg and Hyypia, important members of the rotation lineup, and veterans such as Dilivio and Ferrara also announced their retirement after the season, and at the same time introduced new blood such as Ballack and Diego Milito, which completely corrected Pirlo's new core of the team. The intention is to complete the rebuilding of the team in this transfer window.

Although Fiorentina has won five consecutive victories in all competitions since the start of the new season, in the eyes of many people, the Purple Lily, who has won five consecutive victories, still lacks enough convincing results. After all, the five opponents that Fiorentina encountered are not top teams, Empoli and Reggina are relegation teams at all, and Lens, as the runner-up of Ligue 1, is just an ordinary team with a decent level due to the league environment and its own financial resources, although Deportivo La Coruna and Parma are stronger than Lens in terms of strength, but there is still a certain gap between them and the top teams.

Juventus, on the other hand, is different from the teams that Fiorentina have played this season, and they are considered to be a top team in the eyes of people after finishing second in Serie A last season, so in the eyes of most fans and media, the result of the matchup between Fiorentina and Juventus will be the most powerful proof of how effective the summer transfer work of the Purple Lilies is!

If Fiorentina win against Juventus in this game, it could be tentative proof that the Purple Lilies have had a successful rebuild this summer; Conversely, the Fiorentina management will be ridiculed by the opposing fans and media for a long time for letting the aliens and Sheva go, unless the players can prove themselves with another victory over a strong team.

One might wonder if it would be a bit rash to look at the success of a team's rebuild by the results of a game.

It's a bit too cold to say that, but I'm sorry, professional football is such a winning and losing sport. No matter how beautiful or ugly a team's style of play is, people tend to remember the deeds of the winners, and rarely remember the existence of the losing side and the amazing results they have created.

Think about it, the Brazilian national team led by the master artist Santana in the 80s of the last century played gorgeous artistic football, but the result? They failed to win a heavyweight title, and in the end only Zico, Socrates and Falcao were remembered for a few people. And what about Italy, which is known as having a conservative style of play and no aesthetics, but finally won the championship? I believe that the vast majority of fans can pronounce the names of most of these players, including Baresi and Bergomi, who are not yet the main players......

Therefore, for professional football, the measure of the success of a team's rebuilding is to see if the team can win continuously and surpass the record before the reconstruction. For Fiorentina, this strong dialogue with Juventus is undoubtedly a mid-term test of the quality of the team's reconstruction.

At 6 o'clock in the evening of September 29, the whole Fiorentina team arrived at the Alp Stadium on time on the team bus, making final preparations for the focus of the fourth round of Serie A.

While Fiorentina and Juventus both played a Champions League game in midweek, neither Heynckes nor Lippi rotated their main line-up for that reason. Because they all know the importance of this game very well in their hearts, they naturally dare not have any careless emotions.

Fiorentina's side is better, because of Zhuang Mingge, a traverser in the back, so the depth of the bench of the Purple Lily has always been the best in Europe, which makes Heynckes have plenty of leeway to fine-tune the starting lineup in this game. The German coach made four changes to his starting XI compared to the Champions Cup game against Laco in midweek, with Lucio and Ballack replacing the older Stam and Albertini, who were in the prime of life and had more energy to complete the manager's tactical set-up. Inzaghi returned to the starting line-up after a game off the bench, while Diego Milito, who played the whole game in the previous game, sat on the bench due to too much physical exertion; Vincent squeezed out Di Natale in the starting line-up this time, and Heynckes took a fancy to his better ability to break down the flanks, believing his presence could better create scoring opportunities for team-mates such as Vieri and Inzaghi in the middle.

Looking at Juventus's side, although due to Zhuang Mingge's intervention, it is impossible for players such as Zambrotta and Buffon to appear under Lippi's account, but under the careful operation of Mo Lao Fox, the Bianconeri still have a very strong main lineup: the goalkeeper is the Frenchman Sebastian Frey, Grosso, Montero, Tudor and Thuram four defenders are lined up from left to right, and the Dutch boar Davies and Tacinadi partner in the double back, French striker Trezeguet and Prince Pierrot form a formidable forward line, with the former's excellent point-grabbing ability and precise shooting skills to maximise the characteristics of Prince Bianconeri as a nine-and-a-half.

As for the two wings in midfield, Moggi has been proud of the transfer market this summer: Pavel Nedved from Sampdoria and Mauro Camoranesi, who has just become an Italian citizen and has been called up by the national team, are both physically fit attacking and defensive. Especially in the former, the Czech Iron Man has become the new core of the Bianconeri with his top-level running ability, tenacious fighting spirit and excellent big-picture vision, and his excellent long-range shooting skills have been one of Juventus' main attacking tools this season.

With the additions of Nedved and Camoranesi, Juventus' midfield, which had been in decline since the departure of Didier Deschamps, has finally strengthened, and the Bianconeri have also shaken off Zidane's shadow in one fell swoop, winning two and drawing one in the first three league games, only two points behind Fiorentina and Inter Milan who have won three consecutive games in the opening game.

At this time, the players on both sides have completed a series of pre-match warm-ups and various preparation activities, standing in their respective halves, quietly waiting for the moment when the referee blows the opening whistle!
