PS1: This is Thursday's update, a little late, I hope you don't care too much about the update time, and I promise not to stop the update......

PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

Following news of Fiorentina's draw at Livorno and Juventus' big win at Lecce, the Purple Lily's lead in the league table has shrunk to just two points with the draw. This also means that as long as Fiorentina is a little careless in the next league game, Juventus is likely to complete the overtake in the standings and drive the purple lily from the leader!

While it was a very frustrating thing for the team to turn over the gutter at Livorno, Mourinho did not blame the players after the game for the unexpected draw. Because the Portuguese is well aware that the team's back-to-back weekly doubles heading into April have put a considerable strain on the players' fitness. What's more, in addition to the opponent Livorno in the last game, Fiorentina played two Champions League knockout games with Liverpool in a week, and fought Juventus for a full 90 minutes in between, and there was not much rest in between.

Therefore, after such a few high-intensity games, it is not easy for the Purple Lily to achieve three wins and one draw, and Mourinho will naturally no longer ask the players to complete any tasks such as four consecutive wins.

For Jose Mourinho, his main task now is to get his players back in shape as quickly as possible for the next games and avoid conceding points in the league arena, rather than feeling sorry for himself here and frustrating the games that have passed. After all, although the four-point gap has been reduced to two by Juventus, Fiorentina still hold the initiative in this title race. Therefore, as long as Fiorentina can guarantee normal performance in the next league, it is almost impossible for Juventus to turn the tables around.

Four days later, the 32nd round of Serie A was played as scheduled. After a short break, Fiorentina beat Messina 2-0 at the Stadio Frankie, disappointing Juventus fans who were expecting the Purple Lilies to continue dropping points. What made Juventus fans even more stunned was that in the Italian derby played three hours later in Fiorentina, the Bianconeri at home were defeated by Inter Milan by one goal!

This sudden defeat made everyone in Juventus feel dizzy, because it also meant that with six rounds of Serie A to go, the gap between the Bianconeri and the top of the table was once again widened to as much as five points!

Under the huge temptation of the Serie A champions, Rao is an experienced person like Trapattoni who also made undeserved mistakes. In order to continue to maintain the pressure on Fiorentina, who won this round, Trapattoni, who was eager to win this derby, adopted an active attacking strategy at the beginning of the game, but Inter Milan, who was mainly defending and counterattacking, seized the opportunity of the formation being too pressed and the back defense was weak, and used a quick counterattack to break through the goal of Juventus in the 12th minute of the game, and finally defeated the Bianconeri away from home with this goal, taking away three points from the Alp Stadium!

Although there are still six rounds to go before the league ends, most people are not very optimistic about Juventus, who are already five points behind the top of the table. After all, Fiorentina's performance in the league this season has also been quite consistent, although there have been some fluctuations in the results due to the lack of bench depth (compared to before) and the relationship between multi-front battles, but overall, the performance of the Purple Lily is still very reassuring, and the chance of being upset is much smaller than other teams.

If not, then Juventus, not Fiorentina, would be the team at the top of the table.

Then, in the 33rd round of Serie A three days later, facing Bologna, who was waiting for the Dalara Stadium, Fiorentina relied on the goals of Vieri and Inzaghi to easily defeat the opponent who had been in low form after the winter break 2-0, and got these three precious points, and continued to maintain a five-point lead with second-place Juventus!

With five games remaining, they are five points behind leaders Fiorentina and have left almost any Juventus fan in despair. Juventus fans can't figure it out, obviously the team is so strong at the beginning of the season, a wave of consecutive wins has silenced all the teams in Serie A, and even Fiorentina has been pressed under them, why is it now being caught up by the Purple Lily?

Of course, Mourinho has also paid a huge price in order to maintain his hard-won points advantage in the double schedule of consecutive weekly matches. No, in the first leg of the Champions Cup semi-finals in midweek, Fiorentina, who had invested too much energy in the league battle, lost 0-2 without a temper at the Olympic Stadium and was robbed of the initiative by the Blue Eagles to advance to the final.

Despite the mental preparation for the defeat to Lazio, Mancini's comments in the post-match press conference made Mourinho quite unhappy: "We have now found a way to deal with Fiorentina, and the victory in this game is the best proof of this. And, after nearly a season of running-in, the team's chemistry is now getting better and better. I believe that as long as we play normally in the next games, we will have a good chance of bringing the St. Bride Cup back to Rome by the end of the season! ”

It has to be said that at this time, Mancini only cared about boasting about the "great victory" of the Blue Eagles, but selectively ignored the precarious situation of Lazio in the league table (in order to make a breakthrough in the Champions Cup, the Blue Eagles, who were too distracted by European competition, are currently only in fifth place in the league). The reporters present were also quite attentive and did not pour cold water on the complacent Mancho on Lazio's turf.

"Cut! If it weren't for Juventus' relentless pursuit of us in the league and their refusal to announce their withdrawal from the title race, which led to our inability to give our all in the Champions Cup, how could Lazio have a chance to beat us! After leaving the press conference, Mourinho said angrily to Ferrara. The latter could only smile bitterly at this time to appease the Portuguese, lest the other party run to Mancini for a real PK in a moment.

However, no matter how unhappy Mourinho is in his heart, and how many reasons and circumstances Fiorentina has to lose to Lazio, a loss is a loss. If the Portuguese coach wants to get back on the field, he will have to wait until the second leg of the meeting in a week's time.
