"Guys, I'm very unhappy with the way you guys played in the first half. That's right, very dissatisfied. During the fifteen-minute half-time break, Lippi was commenting on the performance of his players over the past forty-five minutes, "With the exception of Pavel (Nedved) and Mauro [Camoranesi], the first half could be described as terrible! David (Trezeguet), I did ask you to pay attention to playing for Pavel, but you can't give up your job because of that! Tell me yourself, how many shots did you have in the first half? ”

"......" in response to Lippi's criticism by name, Trezeguet lowered his head without saying a word. It seemed that the Frenchman also felt that his performance in the first half was too watery. Although the center-back combination of Nesta and Lucio is indeed very strong, with Trezeguet's ability, it will not be reduced to the point of only one shot on goal in the entire first half!

'Donnello [Gattuso], your task is not only to be a bodyguard for Demi [Albertini] and Andrea [Pirlo], but also to protect the backline and not give Nedved a chance to shoot from distance." At the same time, in the dressing room of Fiorentina, Heynckes was doing the same thing as Lippi, "If you play in the second half like you did in the first half, then Juventus will probably have another 45 minutes of long-range performances." ”

Gattuso nodded solemnly, still convinced by the manager's criticism. Because he also knows that compared to Makellele, the team's main midfielder, his positional sense on the defensive end is too poor, which makes it difficult for him to effectively protect the defense behind him, giving opponents a lot of opportunities to exploit loopholes.

Despite noticing the gaps in the midfield defensive system, Heynckes did not opt to bring on Claude Makelele or Ballack to strengthen the midfield. After all, judging from the performance of the two teams in the first half, Fiorentina still had a certain advantage, and if Vieri and Milito had not wasted several scoring opportunities in succession, Nedved would not have been able to recover the score even if he was exhausted.

However, what Heynckes did not expect was that after the start of the second half, the Juventus players suddenly intensified their pressing on the midfield. Davies, Tacchinadi, Camoranesi and Nedved were a midfield that was a dismal midfield that harassed Albertini and Andrea Pirlo and struggled to organise attacks at the back.

The worst part is that the last fifteen minutes of half-time have allowed the players to regain some strength, while it seems to have frozen Vieri's form. After the start of the second half, Vieri could still cause problems for Juventus' defence, but his threat was significantly less than in the first half. Under Montero's ferocious defence, Vieri, who was inexplicably out of form, barely managed to hit the back of the net in the second half. At the same time, Vieri's sudden malaise has also put Milito in a difficult situation, and without the former's containment, the now slightly immature Argentine striker is a little clawed against Tudor's marking, and it is difficult to pose enough threat to Frei's goal.

On the other hand, on the Juventus side, Trezeguet, who was reprimanded by Lippi, significantly improved his threat to a new level, making the Bianconeri's attack more and more sharp in the second half. Nedved and others frequently seized on Gattuso's poor position to bombard the goal from outside the penalty area, and although Nesta and they had the intention to go over to make up for the defense, the presence of Trezeguet and Pierrot made them dare not act rashly.

Heynckes was not unaware of the team's difficulties in attack, but with Vieri unable to lift up, it was difficult for either Milito or Inzaghi to play as efficiently as they should, and with Albertini and Andrea Pirlo being stolen by Juventus' power midfield, it was no surprise that Fiorentina's attack could not be played.

In the 87th minute, Camoranesi broke through Zivo's defense on the right and passed the ball to the feet of Pierrot, who deftly flicked the ball after receiving the ball, dodged Lucio's tackle, and drew Nesta to intercept it and distribute the ball to the middle of the box!

However, Trezeguet, who was standing in the Fiorentina penalty area, did not choose to hit the goal directly, but followed the trajectory of the ball with a light knock with his right heel and sent the ball to the other side of the penalty area!

Trezeguet's pass was well timed, and when Nedved, who had been running all but not tired all day, slapped his horse into the left side of the box, the ball rolled in front of the Czech ironman. Faced with such a good opportunity, Nedved made a quick decision, stopping the ball, adjusting, and shooting in one go, turning Trezeguet's pass into a powerful attack!

Dangling from Trezeguet's back-heel pass, Buffon didn't pick a position when Nedved got up to shoot and blocked the Czech's path at the first time. The Italian international only had time to wave his arms before he heard the ball rubbing against the net!

2-1, Nedved's second goal of the game helped Juventus overtake the score!

In this way, with Nedved's excellent performance, Juventus, who played with all the main players, completed a reversal after conceding one goal first, and played 3-2 with Fiorentina at the Frankie Stadium, narrowly and narrowly getting a victory and three valuable points from this old enemy, giving the Purple Lily their second defeat in Serie A this season, and narrowing the points gap with Fiorentina in one fell swoop!

Having been reversed at home by Juventus, a sworn rival and direct rival of the league title, Fiorentina fans were naturally extremely unhappy. After all, although Fiorentina is still far ahead of the Serie A standings after losing this game, and Juventus, who are second in the standings, are still the leaders after getting this victory worth six points, this defeat still dealt a certain blow to the morale of Fiorentina. After all, no matter which team it is, they won't be in a much better mood after being reversed by their sworn enemies.

Of course, Fiorentina's loss to Juventus in this game was entirely the result of Heynckes' choice based on the actual situation. At most, the Germans can only complain about the illusory luck in their hearts, and blame no one - who made him choose to play for the Champions Cup against Juventus instead of playing the main team?
