At the end of the international break, Fiorentina, who have not been affected by too much of the "FIFA virus", headed south to Napoli on November 20 to prepare for the tenth round of Serie A.

This season's Napoli, due to the large loss of the main players in the summer team, even the head coach switched to Juventus's arms, and completely reduced to a relegation team. Therefore, in this game, the Fiorentina players who have been resting for half a month solved the opponent with three strokes and five divided by two, and the score of Zuihou was five to one.

It is worth mentioning that Batistuta continued his red-hot form since the start of Serie A, scoring a hat-trick with his head and foot against Napoli to increase his league goal tally to 15, while also equalling Pastilli's Serie A personal record for consecutive goals.

In the 11th round of Serie A, Fiorentina faced Sampdoria at the Frankie Stadium.

Zhuang Mingge, who sat in the box and watched the whole game, knew that if history had not changed, by this time next year, half of the Sampdoria team would have left and been sold by the mediocre and arrogant little Mantovani.

Although the current Sampdoria still has some shadows of the "Golden Samp" of the past, the attack line composed of Mancini, Yougovic, Gullit and others is still sharp, but the advantage achieved by the gorgeous attack will always be buried by the old and dizzy Zeng Jia.

But unfortunately, I don't know if it was because the goal of the Frankie Stadium was awkward with Fiorentina today, and the Purple Lily's several threatening shots all went well past the Zenga defense, but were ruthlessly blocked by the post and crossbar, and only Batistuta scored from a corner kick in the 28th minute.

The Blues equalised in the opening stages of the second half through Ruud Gullit, and the Dutchman's long-range shot hit Ferrara and the direction of the flight changed, and the unprepared Toldo could only watch the ball fly into the back of the net.

In stoppage time, Sampdoria were awarded a free-kick in front of the game, and Yugoslav centre-back Mihajlovic managed to beat Toldo's ten fingers in the stoppage time, and Fiorentina were struck by Sampdoria in the Zuihou moment.

After the game, Batistuta, who had just broken the record for consecutive goals, said in a congratulatory interview with reporters that he hoped Fiorentina would win the game rather than set a record for goals.

'It's been a long time since Fiorentina won the league trophy and that's all we can aim for now and if I don't score a goal the team can win, then I'll do it.' Barty said this in an interview.

Fiorentina fans heard Barty's words on local television, and the number of fans wearing Batistuta's number 9 shirt grew outside the Fiorentina training ground.

……

After this game, Fiorentina is at the top of the Serie A standings with 8 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses with 25 points, but behind the Purple Lily, Parma controlled by the Tanzi family and Juventus of the Agnelli family are eyeing Fiorentina with 24 and 23 points respectively.

Subsequently, Fiorentina faced Lazio in the second round of the Coppa Italia at home, also from Serie A, and Ranieri still looked very difficult in the face of Zeman's fierce attack, and finally Fiorentina was held to a 1-1 draw by Lazio at home.

Ranieri has no time to be upset, because in the next 12th round of Serie A, Fiorentina will travel to Turin to challenge the Bianconeri coached by "Silver Fox" Lippi.

This is the first time that Fiorentina has played against Juventus since Zhuang Mingge became president, and Zhuang Mingge can't help but have some apprehension in his heart.

As a traverser, Zhuang Mingge certainly knows how "bullish" this Lippi Juventus is: 94-95, 96-97, 97-98 three Serie A champions; From 96 to 98, they reached the final of the European Champions Cup for three consecutive years, and if it weren't for the shackles between Mogie and Lippi in the team-building policy, which caused Lippi to be forced to leave, Juventus's glory period would have lasted longer.

The current Bianconeri team has been perfected with the efforts of Moggi and Lippi, although Ferrara and Tacinadi were poached by Zhuang Mingge in advance, but the Juventus team is still star-studded: Peruzzi, Torricelli, Coral , Iuliano, Pexoto The backline is not well-known, but all of them are powerful stars; In midfield, the combination of Didier Deschamps, Paulo Sousa, Di Livio and Antonio Conte can attack and defend well; On the front line, there are two of Italy's most famous strikers: Vialli and Roberto Baggio!

Moreover, Juve's bench can also be called full of talent: "Pulsatilla" Lavanelli, veteran captain Marocchi...... Also, the "Prince of Zebras" Del Piero, who is already well-known in Italian football!

It can be said that the current Juventus team has the strength to compete for glory in any way.

……

On the day of the battle between Fiorentina and Juventus at the top of the table, Zhuang Mingge came to Turin.

The reason why Zhuang Mingge came to Turin is because he received an invitation from Juventus general manager Moggi a few days ago, and Mo Lao Fox ostensibly invited Fiorentina's chairman to the Alp Stadium to watch the summit showdown between Fiorentina and Juventus at the weekend.

However, Zhuang Mingge learned from "other sources" that the main purpose of Mo Lao Fox was to discuss with Zhuang Mingge the sale of Robert Baggio next summer.

If this is the case, in Zhuang Mingge's view, Juventus, which has always been calm, has obviously acted a little hastily in dealing with this issue, and it is even unreasonable: Juventus is now in a period of prosperity, and selling its own star at this time, not to mention anything else, is unimaginable just to hit the team's morale.

If the information he received was reliable enough, what prompted Juventus to make such a big change in the attack?

Was it because of the young Del Piero's excellent performance when Baggio was injured that Juventus' hierarchy thought he was more than capable of replacing Roberto Baggio?

Or is there a sudden crisis within Juventus that no one knows about?

When Juventus are ready to sell Baggio, will they choose to ask Fiorentina for the price? Obviously, their natural ally, AC Milan, is the better choice! Silvio Berlusconi, who was still passionate about investing in football at this time, should have willingly brought in Baggio out of his own pocket.

There are still doubts about these questions, and Zhuang Mingge needs to guess them out in the conversation with Mo Lao Fox later, through his own wisdom, little by little analysis.

"Hey, it looks like we're going to have a good deal with that cunning old fox Moji again." In Zhuang Mingge's view, Mo Ji was an opponent that he was a little in awe of, but had to face.

Sunday, 4 December 1994.

On this day, the sky over Turin was cloudy, but the people here did not have the time to think that Weishenme would have such abnormal weather that "violated" the Mediterranean climate at this time - more than half of the 1.2 million people in the city of Turin were waiting for it, because they knew that their team was about to meet the most important opponent of the season at the Stadio Alp, the current leader of Serie A, Fiorentina!
