The 3-1 win away to Real Madrid gave Fiorentina fans a happy mood for the penultimate round of Serie A this weekend.

Despite holding a four-point advantage, Heynckes, who had already suffered a lot of losses due to the double game in a week, was not paralyzed by this advantage. The German coach has clearly realized that in this extremely competitive Serie A league, where the gutter will capsize if you are not careful, no game can be ignored, because any team in this league has the ability to create accidents!

As a result, in the 33rd round of the league against Inter Milan, Heynckes only rotated a few players who were too physically exhausted in midweek, and other young and strong players such as Carlos and Nesta started the game.

Toldo, Di Livio, Nesta, Stam, Robert Carlos, Andrea Pirlo, Gattuso, Makelele, Effenberg, Philippe Inzaghi and Vieri, that's Fiorentina's starting eleven tonight!

Looking at Inter Milan's side, after receiving the full support of Moratti, coach Lippi was able to continue to adhere to the tactical changes he made in the Nerazzurri, and the Silver Foxes, who abandoned famous players such as Baggio and Panucci, lined up a four-four-two formation in this game: goalkeeper Peruzzi (note: sorry, Juventus' starting goalkeeper this season should be Van der Sar, who was confused before), left wing-back Marco Lanna, right wing-back Zanetti, and the two central defenders are Blancke and Materazzi, At the back are Portuguese Paulo Sousa and Fiorentina veteran Di Biagio from Roma, while Moreno and Frenchman Djokaef are in the wing-back position, and in the forward line, it is Batistuta and Uruguayan talent Recoba.

Clearly, even though he was out of the league trophy and the outcome of the game was likely to determine the Nerazzurri's qualification for next season's Champions League, Lippi did not suspend his war with the likes of Baggio and Panucci, with the stubborn Silver Foxes pressing the two biggest names in European football to the bench in a position that would allow them to sit on the bench.

Having said that, while many of the Italian stars of this era were the kind of players with great personalities, there were too many who had a bad relationship with Lippi – from the melancholy prince Roberto Baggio to the young and famous Panucci, from the bad boy Cassano to Milan's vice-president Ambrosini, as well as Otto and Bergomi. So many players have had conflicts with Lippi, so it can be seen that there must be the fault of Silver Fox himself.

It is precisely for this reason that before the start of the game, Inter Milan fans did not expect much from the outcome of this game, because there is nothing more damaging to the team's fighting power than the manager's self-defeating martial arts and the conflicting dressing room.

As long as you don't lose too badly, you can be considered a success, and this is the thought in the minds of most Inter Milan fans before the start of this game.

However, to the comfort of Inter fans, the Fiorentina players who visited the Estadio Meazza did not look very excited after the start of the game. This situation prevented Lippi from playing at the strongest possible line-up, while the Nerazzurri, who were not in good form with Moreno and Djokaeau, gave them a little leeway to maneuver with their opponents, and the Inter Milan players battled with their opponents on the pitch, and the confrontation and scramble were extremely fierce, and the game was called a spark.

It's no wonder who made many of Fiorentina's starting line-up play against Real Madrid for 90 minutes only three days ago, and even if he relies on his youth and strength to support two games a week, it is a big question mark whether he can adjust the game in time.

Toldo is a prime example of this, after only scoring once once by Raul in the last game against Real Madrid, he was not a mess on tonight's table, but it wasn't much better.

This is the gap between Toldo and Buffon, and while both are similar in potential and talent, Toldo's form has clearly fluctuated a little more than the latter. Once this guy gets excited, it's really a big deal, but if he has cold hands or is in average condition, it's equivalent to the level of an ordinary Serie A main goalkeeper.

To put it bluntly, if Buffon is the kind of goalkeeper who is extremely stable at all times and rarely drops the chain in the game, then Toldo is a typical form goalkeeper, and it feels like a nightmare for the opponent, but if he is not in form, it is also a nightmare, but this has to be seen from the perspective of Fiorentina.

And tonight, Toldo is clearly at a low point in form. The Italian number two first leaked Barty's powerful long-range shot from outside the box just five minutes into the back of the net, and Zhuang Minggore, who was watching the game in the box, was very scorched.

"Damn, what the hell is this kid doing in Toldo, why can't he even save a shot like this?" Zhuang Mingge looked at Toldo who was kneeling in front of the door in a daze, and said in his heart that Barty's shot angle was obviously not tricky, and the strength was not great, how could this guy Toldo leak through?

"Maybe it's because he hasn't fully recovered from the midweek Champions Cup?" Karin analyzed on the side, "Coach Heynckes has a very good idea, and intends to take advantage of the tacit understanding of the main players and the strong strength of the recovery to kill Inter Milan in one go, but I didn't expect Toldo's state in this game to be so unstable, and he actually made such a mistake at the beginning...... Now, the game is not going to be easy to play. ”

Just when Zhuang Mingge had not recovered from Toldo's low-level mistake and conceded the goal, the goalkeeper gave the home team a big gift again in the eighteenth minute of the game!

Here's how it happened: Inter Milan got a free-kick in front, Recoba, who was in charge of the penalty, shot straight at goal, Toldo safely took the ball into his arms, but then he threw the ball just enough to hit Materazzi, who was a step slower to return to the defense!

So, in the face of this gift from his former teammate, Materazzi smiled without hesitation, and with a clean turn and shot, the ball was sent into the Fiorentina goal!

In this way, not more than 20 minutes before the opening whistle, Fiorentina fell behind 0-2 at Inter Milan at the Meazza Stadium because of two low-level mistakes by Toldo!
