The match between Fiorentina and Inter Milan is the highlight of the tenth round of the league.

The two teams in this game are inextricably linked, and it was at Fiorentina that the current Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini began his managerial career.

In July 0l, Fiorentina FC was in the midst of the most difficult period in its history. Trim, who once created the gorgeous style of the "Purple Lily", left the Milan club and was almost unable to participate due to financial reasons. Fiorentina, who did not have any financial strength, had no choice but to hire the recently retired former star Mancini to coach, which was considered a "blind man riding a blind horse" at the time. However, Mancini still led the team to a good level and temperament, and although he did not save the team in the end, he took a crucial first step in his future journey at Lazio and Inter Milan.

"Santo Toldo", who has saved Inter Milan countless times in dire straits, was once the goalkeeper of Florence, and Toldo's peak years were also linked to Florence, and it was in the position of Fiorentina's number one goalkeeper that Toldo knocked on the door of the national team and Inter Milan. After making a name for himself at UU's European Championships, Toldo moved to Inter Milan.

Inter Milan's first striker Adriano once came to Fiorentina on loan. In half a season, Adriano scored U-goals in 15 appearances for the "Purple Lily", and after the relegation of the Purple Lily, he returned to Inter Milan.

Now, three of Inter's most important figures will face their former club in two years' time, and there will certainly be a complicated mental journey in between, as well as some unexpected stories.

Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini was banned for two matches and fined UU euros for yelling "shameless" at the referee in the last round of the league against Lazio, and he will have to sit in the audience and command the game remotely against Fiorentina.

Back to where the dream began, Mancini's feelings are complicated, but he is a professional coach and cannot be emotional, and before the game he did not emphasize his feelings with Fiorentina, "I don't have any special feelings about coming here. It's just a normal game for me, but I don't think I'm going to be warmly welcomed in Fiorentina. Fiorentina's performances over the past three years have been a miracle, as they have been promoted from the third division to Serie A and are now second in the table. It's going to be a difficult game, but nothing is easy in Serie A. We're going to try to break the draw and get back to where we need to be. “

Toldo has been an irreplaceable core player for Inter Milan for many years, but as he has aged, Toldo's form has not been as good as before, and in recent months, the substitute goalkeeper has gradually replaced Toldo's starting position, and now Toldo has returned to the Stadio Frankie for the first time since leaving Fiorentina in 0l, and he is very keen to get a starting position.

'It's definitely going to be very special to be back in Fiorentina and I want to be on the pitch and not watch from the bench, I've been with Fiorentina for eight years and I have a deep affection for Fiorentina, but I think the best way to show that feeling is to be at your best.'

The battle between Inter Milan and Fiorentina is also a contest between two super strikers, Adriano and Chen Yu.

In the last nine rounds, Chen Yu has scored 14 goals and is at the top of the table, Adriano and Montella have both scored 8 goals, Shevchenko and Bodinov have scored 71 goals, the league has just begun, the battle for the top scorer has just begun, it is difficult to say who will have the most laugh, but if Adriano wants to catch up with Chen Yu, this dialogue between the two must take advantage of the opportunity.

Adriano is very confident in the battle between him and Chen Yu hyped by the media before the game, he said: "There is no doubt that I am the best striker in Serie A, of course Chen is not bad, it is not easy to score 14 goals in 9 games, but I don't believe that he will always have such a high goal rate, the defender of Serie A knows how to study the striker, and he may encounter difficulties later, and that will be a good opportunity for me to catch up, I believe I can laugh the most." ”

Chen Yu is also inevitably compared with Adriano, in this regard, Chen Yu expressed his pleasure, he said: "To be able to compare with Adriano, this is an honor in itself, Adriano and Vieri are one of the best strikers in the world, they have proven themselves in Serie A, although they do not score as many goals as me now, but their strength should not be underestimated, they have the ability to easily break through any defense, we must do a good job of defense, Fiorentina and Inter Milan are not games between me and Adriano, the win is more important than the goal, if you can beat Inter, it doesn't matter if I don't score. ”

After a nine-game unbeaten run, Mondonico is no longer the cautious man he was at the start of the season, and he said before the game that he wanted to beat Inter Milan and consolidate his current position in the table.

'Inter are strong, they have 30 big names and they can reach the Champions League every season, but we're not bad either, after two months of running in and we've found our best form and at the Stade Frankie we can beat any opponent. It's a big game against Inter Milan because we haven't played against the big clubs yet, so if we can beat Inter I think the confidence and morale of the team will go to a new level and I'm sure we have the ability to do that. ”

At that time, Mancini's soldiers are now only left with Di Livio, this game Di Livio of course does not want to spend on the bench, he actively expressed his desire to fight, "Mancini and Mondo are excellent coaches, they both hope to win the Serie A title, in terms of strength, Inter Milan is stronger, in terms of form, we are better, Inter Milan can't keep the lead, always equal, this will give us a chance." As an old subordinate of Roberto Mancini, I know better what he thinks, I hope I can help Fiorentina on the pitch, I'm old and I don't ask for starts, I want to have a little bit of playing time, but it's up to the coach to decide and the win is all that matters. ”

The championship is a bit far away for Inter Milan and Fiorentina, but the Champions League place is what they are aiming for, and now there is such a direct dialogue, both teams want to win, and the generals of both sides expressed their desire to beat their opponents before the game, but because the relationship between the owners, players, and coaches of both sides is good, and they are all members of the opposition league, there is no common war of words when strong teams meet, everyone is just working silently in secret, trying to beat the opponent on the pitch.

Fiorentina had a surprisingly good record during this period, and now it coincided with the strong dialogue with Inter Milan, and the enthusiasm of the fans was mobilized to the maximum, and the 40,000 tickets at the Frankie Stadium were sold out a week before the game, and there was still a steady stream of fans calling the Fiorentina ticket center to ask for tickets.

In the face of this situation, Fiorentina president de la Valle is very happy, he hopes that the players will live up to the support and expectations of the fans, play a good game, and also said that he is planning to build a new stadium, so that more Fiorentina fans can have the opportunity to support Fiorentina on the spot, De La Valle believes that the stadium of a giant team must be able to accommodate at least U0,000 or more, and Fiorentina wants to become a giant club in terms of hardware first.

Fiorentina and Inter Milan are actively preparing for the game, and the news of the two teams' training starters, tactical play and other news have also been constantly broken by the media, fans are eagerly waiting, and in a blink of an eye, the weekend is here, and the first two games were played on Saturday, Reggina hosted Juventus, and Livorno challenged Cagliari away.

Juventus with eight wins and one draw played nine games and only one win Reggina, this game was not any suspense at all, but the phrase football is round has been vividly interpreted in this game, Juventus has the absolute upper hand in this game, and scored five goals, two of which were blown off by the referee, but the most lost in the end, Reggina who did not score a goal relied on two own goals to get the second victory on the body of the magical Juventus, so that everyone's glasses were shattered.

The match between Fiorentina and Inter Milan has already been very hot, Juventus's loss is like a pinch of salt in the oil pot, Inter Milan and Fiorentina players and fans are even more excited, Inter Milan sees the hope of catching up with Juventus, and Fiorentina sees the opportunity to top the table again after seven years.

Now Fiorentina are flat, two points less than Juventus, but Fiorentina have a goal difference of l more than Juventus, if Fiorentina can beat Inter Milan in this game, they will tie Juventus in points, and with the advantage of goal difference, they will beat Juventus to become the league leader.

It's not the same feeling to be a leader and to chase from behind, and if Fiorentina want to win the title, they have to find a little bit of feeling and experience to be a leader, and now this opportunity has come.

At the pre-match press conference, Fiorentina coach Mondonico couldn't contain his excitement and issued a call to his players to beat Inter Milan and march to the top of the table.

"No one would have thought that Juventus would lose to Regina, but such a result has appeared, which makes people feel the incredibleness of the football game, now it is an opportunity for us, beat Inter Milan, we can sit at the top of the table, although the top does not have much practical significance, but we can't give up the opportunity to catch up with Juventus, Capello's team will not give the opponent too many chances, we must seize the opportunity, Sunday's game, I hope all the players will play with the spirit of 12 points, Gotta win Inter. ”
