Although the Roma players who played away tried desperately to break the Fiorentina goal in the following time, it backfired, and the wolves from Roma not only failed to equalize, but were attacked by substitute Inzaghi in the 84th minute, and finally lost the game with a score of 1-3.

In the post-match press conference, Zeman and Del Vecchio scolded Materazzi for his behaviour on the pitch in front of a crowd of reporters, believing that Fiorentina were somewhat unsuccessful.

"If Marco [Del Vecchio] hadn't been verbally provoked by Materazzi, we would have had a chance to win this game." Speaking at the press conference, Zeman said that the Czech coach was clearly still angry about Delvicio's red card, "My players fought back after being insulted by the other party, and the punishment for the red card was a bit too harsh. ”

In the face of Zeman's accusations, Capello seemed quite calm, he has been scolded by his opponents for various reasons for so many years, and the thickness of his face has long been practiced: "As far as I know, there is no rule in football matches that players on both sides are not allowed to communicate verbally during the game, so Materazzi's behavior can only be regarded as a little lacking in morality." But Del Vecchio did it directly, no, he used the gavel directly, and what he did was a serious violation of the rules of the game. If he is not punished, is it encouraging the players to hit people directly when they can't say anything else? ”

Capello's answer directly blocked Zeman's mouth, and the latter, who had nothing to say, had to sulk on the sidelines.

All in all, after Mateus, Del Vecchio became another victim of Materazzi's foul mouth.

After a home win over Roma to make it six wins in a row in Serie A, Fiorentina soon had another game – four days later in the Champions League group stage, where the Purple Lilies will take on La Liga giants Real Madrid, the strongest opponent in their group, at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Although Real Madrid president Sanz gave the order before the game that he must win, Real Madrid coach Heynckes did obey the order and sent all his main force in this game.

Goalkeeper Ilgener, Hierro and Sanchez Junior were partnered in central defence, right-back Panucci, and left-back German international Christian Zigger, who was sold by AC Milan this summer because of his lack of adaptation in Italy.

Seedorf and Karembo, two teammates who had worked together briefly at Sampdoria, continued to play side by side in Madrid this time; Under Heynckes' arrangement, although Raul nominally plays the position of left winger, in fact, the Spanish golden boy is more hidden behind the striker in the attack, responsible for the team's last pass; In order to make way for the talented player and future team flag, the former starting winger Amarwiska had to move to the right and play on the right side, which he was not good at; The forward duo of Davao Suker and Mijatovic continues to hold the starting striker position.

At the start of the game, Real Madrid took a two-goal lead thanks to goals from homegrown star Raul Gonzalez and Croatian golden left-footed Davo Suker, but when the game ended, the score disappointed Real Madrid.

At the Bernabeu Stadium, facing Real Madrid, who were high morale and desperate to avenge the revenge they had beaten two years earlier, Fabio Capello led Fiorentina to a successful away comeback with a defensive counter-attack that the Blancos hated.

Faced with the unfavorable situation of falling behind by two goals in the first half, Fiorentina did not panic at all, but took advantage of Real Madrid's desire to make a name for themselves with a big victory.

Vieri and Inzaghi scored a goal each in the game to make Fiorentina's trip to Madrid a 2-2 draw and the Real Madrid players' efforts throughout the game were in vain.

After this round of matches, Fiorentina dominated the game with two wins and one draw and seven points; Real Madrid have won one and drawn two of their last three group games and are five points behind Fiorentina with a two-point gap; Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, surprisingly finished third in the group after beating Liverpool by one goal in the third group game; As for Liverpool, which is favored by the outside world (note: the Red Army is basically the British media), not only has it not won a game, but it has only scored two goals in three group games, and the number of goals conceded is as high as six!

Such a bad performance not only disgraced the Reds, who were once famous in Europe, but also made Liverpool coach Evans's position shaky. Although Liverpool played the most pleasing attacking football under Evans's tutelage (note: Arsene Wenger had just taken over at this time and had not injected enough flashy atmosphere into Arsenal), but against the backdrop of missing the league title for seven consecutive years, Liverpool's game could not make Evans' position completely stable, even if it was good.

It's a world of winners and losers, especially for giants like Liverpool, and without a heavyweight title, it's a losing season.

Now, after an emergency meeting, the much-criticized Evans has received a stern warning from Liverpool's hierarchy that if they fail to lead the team through the group stage, the club will seriously consider whether he needs to stay in the league if they fail to lead the team through the group stage.

Evans immediately protested strongly against the request from the top, after all, the four teams in this group are very strong, and Liverpool's strength does not have any advantage at all. Fiorentina are the hegemons of Europe, Real Madrid are the champions of La Liga, and even Bayer Leverkusen, who are considered to be the worst, are no worse than him in terms of overall strength, and in his opinion, the club's hard demand is pure head cramps.

Following Evans' protests, the Liverpool hierarchy made some changes to the bottom line, demanding that Evans finish at least third in the group (third in the group qualifies for this season's UEFA Cup). If even Bayer Leverkusen, the best team in their eyes, can't be suppressed, then there will be a reason to fire Evans.

When Zhuang Mingge heard about the chaos within Liverpool from Karin, he silently apologized to Evans in his heart. If it weren't for his crossing that gave Liverpool the chance to play in the Champions Cup this year, Evans would not have been in such a passive position.
