The big win against Reggina gave the Fiorentina players a hard breath of anger that had been stored in their hearts, after all, the pressure from the last defeat to a team like Venezia was still very high. Despite the fact that most pundits and the media are touting Mutu for his hat-trick and losing to Ferrara, there are still many who believe that the rest of Fiorentina's players are also responsible.
It's no wonder, after all, in the face of Fiorentina's backline, Mutu can complete a hat trick alone, while Fiorentina has so many excellent strikers but only Shevchenko scored two goals, facing Venice's scum back, which is somewhat unreasonable.
It was for this reason that the Fiorentina players were able to beat Reggina with six goals in this game without mercy, proving that they still have a superior attacking firepower, suggesting that the defeat to Venezia in their last game was only due to a match against an in-form Mutu and their own bad luck.
Reggina became the most innocent of the gunners, intending to learn from Venezia's experience and use Cuarón, a young striker who was also hailed by the media as promising, to break up the Fiorentina defence. Cuarón, who played as the absolute main force and the core of the attack, was even more miserable, and he was taken care of by Hyypia for the whole game, but he only got two chances to get up and hit the goal, and in the end, they all became anti-aircraft guns......
Incidentally, many experts believe that this match just proves that Caron's talent and potential are not as good as Mutu and Recoba - obviously, after Fiorentina lost to Venice due to Recoba and Mutu's hat-tricks, these experts began to use the Purple Lily as a yardstick to identify the potential and quality of a young player, believing that only a player like Recoba who can lead the team to victory over Fiorentina is worthy of being called a talented new star.
Although the opinions of these experts do not seem to be very reliable, to Zhuang Mingge's surprise, this opinion has been agreed by many fans, and some good deeds have even given Florence the title of "Rising Star Touchstone"!
"I'll you, these guys are really idle, how can they give such an unreliable statement?" Zhuang Mingge looked at the review article in the new issue of the newspaper that was simply nonsense, and said with an embarrassed face, "How did we Florence become the touchstone of new stars?" If you don't know, you might think that Fiorentina is just a good team! ”
"Well, don't be so angry." Karin gently hugged Zhuang Mingge from behind, calmed the other party's somewhat unconvinced mood, and said, "Let these people talk nonsense, anyway, our Florentine's strength is there, and it can't really be regarded as non-existent if someone says a few words casually." Sooner or later, it will be discovered that we at Fiorentina are not just a touchstone for a rising star, but the final hurdle for any team that wants to win trophies! It's a nightmare for all championship teams! ”
“…… A nightmare for all championship teams? Zhuang Mingge really thinks this title is very good, which not only reflects the strong strength of Fiorentina, but also shows that any team that wants to win the championship must pass the level of Fiorentina!
To get back to the point, although the big home win over Reggina dispelled the anger of many players, there are still some players, especially those who did not play in that game, that fire in their hearts has not been released. Therefore, in the 20th round of the league against Verona on 6 February, head coach Heynckes was kind enough to send all these players on the pitch, including Shevchenko, who scored twice against Venice but still failed to lead the team to victory.
By the way, the starting central defenders in this game are Ferrara and Hyypia, after all, there are no top strikers in the Verona team, and there is no such traditional center forward with outstanding strength, so it is no problem for the two to pair up in such a match. Moreover, in Heynckes' eyes, this is just the right time for Ferrara to give more guidance to Hyypia in actual combat, so that the experience that the young central defender has learned from this veteran can be transformed into combat effectiveness more quickly, so that he can grow more smoothly.
Although Fiorentina sent a large number of substitutes in the starting line-up in this game, Verona, who had home advantage, could not get even a point from the league leaders in the face of the high fighting spirit and individual fighting power of the Fiorentina players.
Shevchenko, who appeared as a starting striker, was extremely good in this game, this Ukrainian nuclear warhead not only broke through Frei's goal three times in the game, but also assisted Ronaldo to score with a breakthrough goal in the 48th minute of the game, becoming the biggest contributor to Fiorentina's 4-1 victory away from home!
Fiorentina have increased their league tally tally by ten in the last two league games after the defeat to Venezia and, despite their opponents being mid-table clubs such as Reggina and Verona, has put the rest under pressure at such a terrible rate of goals.
After the win over Verona, Fiorentina continued that killing form in the rest of the game, maintaining an astonishing winning record for the rest of February!
On February 13, in the 21st round of Serie A, Fiorentina at home and Udinese, who had famous players such as Amoruso and Jorgensen, played a full 90 minutes of attacking battle, and finally won the game 4-3 with Vieri's goal in stoppage time.
On February 20, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Fiorentina cleanly slaughtered the opponent of this round of the league, that is, the Red Wolves Roma, Ronaldo and Shevchenko both scored twice in the game, leading Fiorentina to successfully slaughter the wolves away with a score of 4-1.
On 24 February, in the first leg of the Champions Cup quarter-finals, Fiorentina at Stamford Bridge were in trouble after the start of the game, Chelsea's leading striker Gianfranco Zola helped the home team build a two-goal lead in the first 20 minutes, but then the game was taken over by Inzaghi, Super Pippo seized the gap in Chelsea's back defense and led the Purple Lily to complete the Jedi comeback with a hat trick!
On the last day of February, Fiorentina, who returned to Italy, played a solid counter-attack at the Tardini Stadium and finally won a narrow victory with a direct free kick from Andrea Pirlo, leaving Malaisani, who was ready to take advantage of the exhaustion of Fiorentina's return from the British expedition, to be speechless.
In this way, under the stunned gaze of the crowd of onlookers, Fiorentina ended their journey in February with a record of six wins!
